Although to me that knife is another reason not to get married...then I could get it for myself

Andre,
Nice knife, but I see how this works. You buy her something you like too, that way you can play with it when you like

Lemme tell you a little something about how my wife picks out Busse knives. First of all she likes em shiny.
The way my wife picked out her first Busse: June, 2000 I came home from a visit to Wauseon, Ohio and came back with some goodies. One of which, was the first prototype for the Game Warden. You know, the one made for the 2000 blade show. The One in Blade Show Magazine. My wife looks at each of the knives I brought home adn when she comes to this one, she says, "I like this one honey, thank you." There I am, out a one of two prototype.
Well this last weekend, I was doing a show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco California. Late in the afternoon on Sunday, this nice young man brings up this knife and say, "Did you guys make this?" And I replied, "Yes, that is a Busse knife." He wanted to know what it was worth and before I ever pulled it out of the sheath. I said somewhere between three and six hundred depending on exactly what it is and what kind of condition it's in. He wanted a new knife, we worked out a trade. I fondle it for a while, I drive it home 480 miles, I show it to my wife, and she shows a great deal of interest in it. So we're coming to our tenth wedding anniversary, Feb the 14th, and I think, "Isn't that the steel anniversary?" So I look it up, and no, that's the 11th anniversary, the tenth anniversary is the "tin" anniversary.
So my reasoning now goes something like this. It's an A-2 knife. Not an infi knife, so it's not really steel, well, not super steel, it's sorta like tin, in a been eating a high protein treated with steroids diet, sort of tin. Well, they're both metal anyway. Close enough for me, and she's gonna end up with the knife anyway. So this way, I get credit for a multiple hundred dollar anniversary gift, and she gets something that she likes. Funny how we justify things.

Happy anniversary!!! Andre!!
Glad to see that it turned out to be a good show for you. What we now need to do is start a national movement to make the tenth anniversary the "INFI" anniversary. Tin?? How the heck did Tin become the tenth Anniversary
Congrats again!
