All that "answer lies within" stuff and the nursery rhyme make me want to say SOUL1 LE. But that can't be it.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/
BIG Anniversary Straight-handle Steel Heart LE... --one of eight--. References to BIG and "-aboctoasaurus" "big 1/8 mile dashes"
along with a Limited Edition of the blade that is in code!!!
"Weight is over," the bit about the 1/8 mile drag being over before you know it (with the 1/8" being the LE), "look within," etc. all point to Anorexic.
The drink recipe -Ward 8; Better than corn, suggesting "Hog Bait"; the nursery rhyme, suggesting a terrible "fate", I could have had a... V-8; the drag racers with the V-8; Aboctosaurus; all point to something with "8" in it. And a couple of those seem to point to a B-8. Heck, even V-8 sounds like B-8.
And as someone observed, the basic line was an "expansion" of the original Busse line.
But the "V" also suggests a v-grind.
Sabre-ground Anorexic Basic-8 Limited Edition.
And if the "sa" following the "octo" in Aboctosaurus refers to the grind, that means it's an Anorexic B-8[octo] SAbre-ground Urus. And since the "Urus" is the only part that isn't accounted for in the name of the knife, I can only deduce that the prize includes a Lamborghini Urus.
"It became one of the best selling expansions . . . ."
