...you really didnt want but you just wanted to goof around? And you were sure that someone else would outbid you and then you get stuck with the prize.



Well, that just happened to me and now I own the super secret black knife...

How come no one outbid me at the end!??!
 
I almost threw one on there, but was worried the exact same thing would happen to me! Kind of a catch 21 type knife.

Congrats, I think???
 
Haha, who bids on something they don't want? All that will do is raise the price for those who actually want it.

I seen a thread awhile awhile back talking about this same Discussion and the Boss Hog Locked it down quickly. Just Letting you guys know. Sorry but thats what I seen,
Good Luck,
 
I honestly figured someone like knife hunter, or lil'foo, or jaxx or someone of that HOG caliber would have snatched that up. What are you guys sleepin?! Watchin the Pats get creamed?! Com'on!!
 
I bid on a car once that I wasn't really sure I wanted. I was sweatin' for about 5 days until someone outbid me the last day. I was relieved, then I received a second-chance offer from the seller because the winner backed-out. I got lucky on that one and then never messed around again.

The obvious answer is that they probably already have one.
 
I own a one of a kind INFI bowie, hand ground by Jerry, on a special fusion handle never made commercially available, that I acquired in exactly that way. I made what I thought was a too low bid just to make conversation, went away for the weekend, and had won it when I came back. Progunner let that one get away!:D

I also have a Zero Tolerance Steel Heart E that I made a low bid on, way under the reserve, never expected to win, and then got a "second chance offer" because I was high bidder. The price was so ridiculously low that I contacted the seller and offered to let her opt out of the deal, but she stuck by the offer.
 
So what good INFI goodness are you going to sell at a discount rate because you need the $$$? :eek::foot:
 
OH! Ok...my bad :o

There are a lot of subjects taboo on the Busse forum that I do not fully understand. I got yelled at, and a warning for referring to the Cutlery Science website a few weeks ago. I wish someone would take the time to post the no no's the younger hogs don't know about! Live and learn I guess.

Posting a pic is a bigger "no-no" than selling it! Jerry will certainly rain hard on this parade if it happens.

From what I gather, these knives were designed for an elite team of black ops ninjas doing things which can not be said, the knife was hand forged by extra secret blacksmiths in the heart of Mordor. After the forging of the knives, the smiths were killed and buried, then the men who killed them were killed and buried. When all the ultra secret ninjas had their super secret knives, the extra knives were then sold under the stipulation that they never see the light of day, because if the enemy ninjas find out the design of the blade, the good ninja clan is doomed.

Or it's just another knife variant, like any other, that for one reason or another, has been deemed secret. I think it's all silly, but I don't make the rules, and if an agreement was made, I think it should be kept.
