I don't like the new production protocol.

No it wasn't cold steel, it was Smith and Wesson knives that he started collecting. They are legal in DC snce they break when you look at them.

"We have received a sign, Edith - a mysterious sign. A miracle has happened on this farm. There is a large spider's web in the doorway of the barn cellar right over the pigpen, and when Lurvy went to feed the pig this morning, he noticed the web because it was foggy, and you know how a spider's web looks very distinct in a fog. And right spang in the middle of the web there were the words 'Some Pig.' The words were woven right into the web. . . . It says, 'Some Pig,' just as clear as clear can be. There can be no mistake about it A miracle has happened and a sign has occurred here on earth, right on our farm, and we have no ordinary pig."

I am fairly new to buying Busse, but given the support, customer service, warranty and let's not forget...................the QUALITY, I could not realistically give complaint. Sure, I want what I want (a Heavy Heart right now.), and I want it sooner than later, but Jerry isn't screwing me over on an order, he didn't lie to me or mislead me so I would order his blades. He put his name on the door and has done what he needs to keep that door open, while providing the afore mentioned qualities and services. Therefore, I CHOOSE to be patient and have faith that the best is to come.:thumbup:
 
Also, call it what you want, but do you guys really want these knives to become s common? Where everyone can own one? I don't. I like the fact that they can be hard to find. Makes them worth more. :thumbup:

I think that Busse knives should only be sold to US HOGs on this and the other hog forum and that is all. :thumbup:

Then we will have no production problems. :thumbup:

besides I keep on getting BM's left and right. What's the problem?

Did I mention I sliced my finger on the BM-TerrorMonkey that Seth sent me. He had that thing way to sharp. Not sure how he sharpened it, but I could litterally shave my beard with it a-la Dundee. He mentioned using it to scrape off dingleberry's or something like that. I'm not even sure I wanna know what the Basic 9 he got from me is doing right now:eek:

that tm battle mistress could have been sharper :D i got a henckels 27 straight razor at a local antique shop.... once that thing is polished off at 5-10 degree's per side (if the apex will let me...).... THAT is sharp. .006" at 1/16" past the edge, and .015 at 1/8" past the edge. the bm? pfft.
.036 at 1/16" and .056 1/8"

lol.... aaaaaaaaaah cliff destroyed my perspective on what "sharp" means the first time i heard him mention a 10 degree 100grit edge.
 
Well, that pretty much makes it into a club for special people, doesn't it?
The guy who doesn't want to join the club, doesn't want to play with the inside jokes, doesn't give a hoot about collecting or "retained value" and just wants a good tool or two apparently has no place in the general scheme of things. If that's the attitude with Busse products, INFI is not the only good steel in the country, and my first Busse is my last.
Sorry, don't mean to be offensive. I was reading through this thread & intending to keep out. I genuinely do not mean to be insulting to anybody here, but Cobalt's comment there was the last straw.
I have no interest in joining the Busse Country Club For Exclusive Pigs. I want a knife I can depend on, not a trophy safe queen to give me a feeling of superiority over the lesser peasants.
I'm gone. The sound you hear is the door not hitting me on the butt on the way out. :D
Best New Year Wishes to everybody. :)

Dpris, it isn't a club, but if you want something you have to be persistent. It's to bad you feel the way you do. I have missed many Busse knives that have come and gone in the sale forums. Most of my purchases have been there. If you wanted another heavy user and didn't want to wait, you could have easily picked another HOFSH at the store, there are some there right now. You could also have picked up one of the many older BM's that have been offered for sale in the last couple of months. You specifically want the HOFBM like we all do, then you will have to wait, plain and simple. Oh and by the way Il started out as user only and kept on collecting as they are the best.

It's to bad you feel that way. Go order a Randall 3/8 inch Smithsonian Bowie. The wait is over 3 years on that one. Go order a Carson U2, mine was 18 months. Order a Brend model #2 for $1500 and wait a couple of years for it as well. Order any high wuality blade and see how long it takes. You want Busse quality with Ontario delivery and that is just not going to happen.

Also, as for the club, well there are a lot of people who get their knives and don't join in the fun. In fact sme well known Hogs don't really contribute much but are always there to snatch the nice stuff.

Good luck to you in your endevours
 
Oh..are we taking Cobalt seriously now? :confused: :confused:

Cobalt, say it isn't so... :(

LOL, imagine that:D

We all have so much fun in here, can't we all just get along. Hey, mike hasn't had to edit my posts for several days, I'm sure he's happy about that.

Dpris, The company store has the HEAVY HEART right now, so how can you not get another abuser for yourself.

See. And it sounds like he's got a bunch more commin. Patience is a virtue, some have said. I have no patience so I wouldn't know:jerkit:
 
DPris,

For someone who doesn't mean to be offending, you missed your mark. I take offense to most of your post. I think Cobalt's comment about them being commonly available was misconstrued. There are tons of Busse knives on the secondary market at any given time. They are not only traded among a select group of collectors or anything like that. That is ridiculous. I want the FBM as bad as the next guy, maybe worse. Believe me there is no elite group that gets a jump on things before the rest of the world, test teams and the like excluded. For example, Jerry doesn't treat the guys who buy a majority of their blades directly from the factory any better than those who have amassed a collection prim,arily from the secondary market. If that doesn't show we are all on equal ground, all equally waiting for that one special model that floats our boat, I sure as heck don't know what does. So this talk about a Busse Country Club is rubbish and I think it points to a bitterness about something more than just not being able to buy a FBM right now. When they come out, I hope you get one. I am sure it will meet or surpass your expectations. I hope you use the hell out of it and deliver a good report on it here so we can all can compare notes. After all that is one of the things this forum is all about, not all this pissing and moaning about protocols or how long we have had to wait for this or that. On that account, I am glad Jerry is making any knives at all. Any way, some guys on here get me hot under the collar sometimes and I hope I wasn't too abrasive. If I offend, then we are even in my book.

Yah, what club, we continually steal from each other.:thumbup:

Our motto goes:

Trust me with your Money and your Wife,
but not your Busse knife,
 
can't we all just get along,

i wish for world peace, flowers, and the all my bullets fly true to their mark.:)

i dont see how that applies. if you actively state that you dont want to be apart of the online community part of busse combat, chances are that you wont be. if you just want the knives - they are obtainable. forumites are not given any special treatment as far as ship times, or availability of standard models.

jerry stated that he has cut back on advertising in order to keep the demand within production ability - so this forum is one of the main advertising places. you dont need to participate if you dont want to, but this is where you are likely to see news of upcoming models.

it just seems like your basing the availability of busse combat knives on the overall ambiance of the online forum. wich has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to obtain the knives.

so if i understand that last comment correctly, the ideal of a forum member can directly change the physical properties of the knife? because someone here feels that way about the knife - that is all that the knife is good for and nothing else, and because you have it, you have to feel the same?

if you want nothing to do with the community, and only want the blades, thats fine. you still have to go through the same routes to get them as we do.

i cant afford anything i dont carry daily (except for the ak47, wich was a serious drop in much needed funds for me). everything i have i use. i buy them because i use them for rediculously abuseive things, and i want something i cant break with my barehands. the "Busse Country Club For Exclusive Pigs" has absolutely nothing to do with that in any way shape or form.

Good lord Skunk. :eek: I am now distracted and blind. :cool:

Not sure what this is really about. If you want a Busse, get one, from the company, the store, the secondary market, they are out there. If looking for a particular model, there will likely be a wait as there is for anything quality. I've only started posting in the last month, but have yet to see an elitist attitude from anyone. I've had the chance to speak to Jerry, Garth, Scott, and Vicki and have nothing but nice things to say. If Dpris gets another Busse good on him, if not, cest la vie.
 
Theres an axiom that applies to everything in business (or life for that matter), Speed, Quality, and Cost. You can never have all three at the same time. This applies to everything from choosing a restaurant for dinner tonight, to purchasing the forensic software to analyze a suspects computer. :eek: If you want something like a knife that's affordable and high quailty it's going to take some time.

In my opinion Jerry has been very successful at delivering high quality affordable knives in a reasonable amount of time. Sure the timetable does not work for everyone and we would all like our favorite models to always be available, but that can't always happen. Busse knives continually increase in value and there are plenty out there in the secondary market that regardless of their condition are still fully covered by the best, no questions asked, warranty on the planet.

In closing, th Ak-47's certainly came out faster then I ever expected which means Busse is still improving on the timeline factor. Now how about those HOG FBM's......:D
