Does Busse ever Re-release knives?

It has been my experience that, if Jerry ever states, as he has on occasion, that a particular knife will not be released again, then it won't be. If he does not explicitly so state, then you may see some variation of the knife offered again in the future, such as the Anniversary Steel Heart, and the Boss Jack, which is very close in size and design to the original Satin Jack. The most likely re-releases you are likely to see will be Custom Shop one-ofs or very limited Custom Shop Ganzaaaa offerings.

For the old-school knives that have become highly sought after collector's items, such as the original Satin Jack, there is enough difference in the re-release, re the Boss Jack, that the unique nature of the originals is maintained.

I know of no re-releases of limited editions, and I have been buying these things since 1994.
 
No on the LE's, but it isn't unheard of to find a cpl CG models they use to offer on the site at a show, maybe even a satin CG. From my experiences, it appears most of the models they bring back for shows have different color schemes, or a different sort of scale or maybe even a grind. For example, the original discontinued run of nmfbms all had smooth handshaped scales whereas when you find one at a show it usually has machined handles, occasionally smooth but colors I don't think they offered when on the site.
 
for production runs, no. If a knife model comes back it will be slightly modified, as seen with the BOSS streets (modified version of the mean streat) and BOSS jacks (modified version of the satin jack). You may find custom shop or even cg version sold at shows, but these are not production runs, they are generally blanks that were left in the shop after the production run and then finished up for a show.
