do you know what i hate about busse knives?

[scrappy]

I always said I would get just a battle mistress as the ultimate knife and not need ant other busse knife. well than I upgraded to a ffbm, and then to a nmfbm and now I also want a nmsfno. I already have a sarsquatch. when will it stop? the saddest art of all of this is when money gets tight the busse blades I have are the only thing I can sell for a real amount of money. so the fbm and ffbm are gone now, to think about that nmsfno

I can give you some advice - never ever come here again. Get out now. Jerry should pay BF about $10K/yr for the buzz and excitement he gets here.

Otherwise, find the blade that will best suit your uses, get that one and ignore the rest. Sadly, I have about 5 of a mid-size and 8 large blades and 4 honkin-big, never to be used blades. Armchair QB here. And a billion Game Wardens. (My fav blade to collect. OK, I've got about 16. Oh, maybe 20 with Skelly's saved for my kids.)

AND, you are in a great time to be a Busse collector. You don't HAVE to get every release from Busse anymore. You can wait for someone else to get one or seventeen and decide they don't want it anymore and sell it for near-list price if not lower. PLUS a lot of OLD steel out there right now for cheap prices.

I've realized that with the NMSFNO. I don't think I'll ever own one, but if I do, I can get it on the XC for not a ton of $. Not so just a year ago when stuff would go for 30% markup the week after it came out.

Let's not forget just 18 - 24 months ago when a Busse that was on the exchange for more than 1/2 a day NEVER happened. EVER...

It's like Dennis in MA said. If you value the contents of your wallet, leave now and never return! Otherwise, there's a pretty good chance you'll keep seeing nice blades that you will want here, and then you find yourself owning 20 Busses instead of 1.

Not to get into the whole investment/availability discussion, but personally I consider this change a good thing rather than bad.

Yeah, let's not take this thread there. :thumbup:

OINK!!!

+1 :thumbup:

I hate to see some of the blades come up on the exchange that I lust over...It's like putting the chocolate shop next to the Jenny Craig center.

There's a blade on the exchange like one I missed earlier this year and it's killing me with Christmas right around the corner. Especially after the price drops that have gone on with it.

Get out while you can.

But get the NMSFNO - you won't regret it! NO Regrets!
