I bought my TGLB before I started watching The Walking Dead. I saw a Utube review of the knife that a link was posted to over on the Defensive Carry forum. After watching the review, I did some research about Busse knives, got intrigued, and ordered one! THEN I learned that the knife was used on TWD from the Busse website. I'd seen the first couple of episodes when it first started but wasn't impressed and switched to watching Sunday Night Football as had been my normal Sunday viewing habit. After I got the knife, I started watching the series to see who was using it! I didn't even know who Daryl was at the time. I thought it was Rick, the main character, who was supposed to be carrying a TGLB. So I certainly wasn't one of the "fans" of the show who went out and bought a TGLB because of the show! However, now I'm hooked on both Busse knives and TWD! And the fact Daryl is now carrying a POS for a knife is really %!$$!^& me off! I want Busse's back on the show.
