No problem. Accurately communicating a thought is not always easy. My wife and I hardly ever understand each other!Walking Man said:Oops! Thanks.

I should add that I have also purchased directly from the factory, at the Indy show (my 2nd Busse, a 1/4" SJ CG), and my first Busse (a Basic 9) came from the One Stop Knife Shop. A few years ago, a fair number of knife shops carried the Basic line. I think it is unfortunate that the sources are so limited now, especially with the new production/sales schedule of making/selling a particular model only for about one month out of roughly 1 1/2 - 2 years (I am guessing at when the cycle will start over again, and if it will even be the same order and same models).
