Belly up to the trough mates, I’d like to tell you a story about a man named Manix J. You see, I’m wet behind the ears when it comes to dealing with the glorious ways of INFI, but the knife gods bestowed kindness upon me in the form of one of your brethren, Manix J.

This man was planning a journey to a mystical place where knives are as common as rain, but not nearly as mundane, BLADE. In order to prepare for the journey, a bit of travelin’ loot needed to be procured, so Manix J, being a resourceful lad, went into his bag of goodies. Out of that bag, he pulled two fine specimens whose destiny was to be the virtual market at a modest price. But alas, only one of the pieces was destined for a new home. Manix prevailed and made the trek to BLADE.

After the trip to the promise land, he returned to find inquiry into the lonesome knife that was left behind. The trip had been a success for Manix, and he no longer needed to sell this particular knife at such a low price. After a myriad of offerings, Manix realized that only this one particular knife would satiate the buyer.

Knowing he was going to take a significant hit, he agreed to sell the knife at the original price not because he needed to, but because it was an opportunity to pass the torch to a newborn HOG in hopes that he would one day he would do the same. The buyer couldn’t be happier. I feel confident in that statement because I am he.
Thanks for a great knife Jeff.

It was nice to finally meet Jeff after talking with him for a while.

And Blade was pretty good to him :D
 
Love the great story , I also met Jeff for the first time at the trough in Atlanta . Hope to rub elbows again next year at the trough with him as well as others .Its hard to explain how it is at the trough unless you have been there ,it is a challenge to get a chance to buy some of the great offerings.
 
Thanks for the kind words mike!! You are making a hog face blush... Glad to welcome you to the busse family the right way! There are lots of good folks that have helped me when I was a newbie and continue to help now!

A couple of those piped up my praise in this thread but they should be praised themselves ;)
