...every knife styles they have made since day one?

I was wondering if the Busse company or Jerry Busse have a copy of each and every style created since the first day of the founding of this company. Of course this doesn’t include one offs like where Jerry Busse would do a drunk knife creation (I think that was last year?).

Would be awesome if there was some sort of mini museum displaying all the knife styles from Day 1 to today for us folks to go and visit the shrine. It could become a tourist destination like the Monogalia Silos from Fixer Upper tv show.
 
That would be awesome indeed. I'd be up for that road trip, the collection surely exist to some extent if open to the public is the question of the day.

Somewhere.

Most likely indeed since there are some rather dedicated collectors in here. But I was more wondering if Busse company as a company itself actively keeps a copy of each Knives they created on the production lines, sort of like “No. 0” knives.
 
A fantasy...All Busse buyers meet somewhere (in Ohio?), and display everything we have purchased. What an awesome extravaganza that would be.
 
If this were a trivia question then the answer we know be no- he doesn't because the Pimp 1 and Pimp 2 - 1 of 1 each are somewhere else.
As a general question I'd bet money that somewhere, there's a secure location filled with history- consider these last grab bags and that ST-56 with the awesome handle- I didn't know those existed (had to look it up) and Jerry tossed it in a grab bag? ... that thing was pretty incredible.
Looking and studying Bad Mojo is proof, some cats here have some unparalleled, amazing collections going back many many years.
 
Yes, some local gatherings I have seen over the years. Mine would be in northwestern Oregon.
 
Busse is a business. The owner is a keen businessman. I'm certain that any and all production models have their patterns archived, if not to satisfy potential warranty claims.

I wasn’t referring to patterns, blue prints, or any of the like. I am referring to actual physical copy of each creations that aren’t one-offs.

If I was a knife business of Busse size, I would gleefully turn a whole wall into a mini museum that holds all the #0 Knives (since some past production knives were numbered 1 to 300 or whatever, a wall with the very first knife off the production line numbered at 0)
 
With recent summer’s Deere Killer drama that I just finally read, I’m more inclined to think that Jerry Busse is more likely to have a Museum collection full of broken, damaged, etc knives. If thats the case, I would love to see it all lined up on the wall with its own signs telling the stories of what happened.

I’m also inclined to think that the amount of knives damaged or destroyed would be a very low number as well.
 
Good question...not sure it'll ever be answered...but we've all probably wondered the same thing!
 
No....that room is WHY I work the corner..... ;) ;)

At least no one has asked for the pics... :D
