I'm confused about how Busse works...

Do they, as a company, just make batches of a certain knife and sell them for a certain period of time before switching to a new design and that's it? Or do they take special orders and make it for us regardless of designs? Do they even have a Busse store to order from like Swamp Rat does?

I've been a very causal fan of Busse for years until I came across this forum and my interest is suddenly more involved so much that I'm on my way to some day getting a Busse knife.

I just want to get my perspective onto the right track of mind.

Thanks in advance!

you're not cornfused, you just haven't drunk enough. evry two weeks on a rotating schedule between multiple web site and secret idenities they keep a constant stream of trouble with you and your better half. talk to your wife now and get the prenupt and stuff fingerd out and go fur it!!! its not just a knife, its an investment!

Busse makes batches of a certain knife and sells them for a certain time through the Busse Combat Knife website. It typically takes several weeks to a few months to get the current offering directly from Busse. The current offering is the Argonne Assault LB.

They also make a variety of models that they take to shows and occasionally offer the leftovers here in "ganzaaas." (Although it's more than just leftovers, I think.)

There's also the Busse Custom Shop, where you can get your knife made to order, but you'll pay more and wait a lot longer.

There is also the Busse Company Store, which, as I understand it, is independent of Busse but has a special relatiuonship. The Company Store typically has knives made especially for them. Sometimes they'll also have a special run of models recently discontinued from the Busse Combat Knife site (often in handle or color combinations that weren't previously offered). The current offering is the SARGE-7 LE. If you order from the Company store, it's in stock and will typically be delivered in about 2 days.

There is also an active aftermarket on the exchange .

Thank you all, even the drunk skunk. :p

That pretty much clears up how to look at all this. It's a neat way of making those knives more valuable (not to mention how damn strong they are).
 
Basically, just take out your wallet, send the credit cards and all the money inside to Busse.

Also, it will save you trouble down the line to just have most of you paycheck send directly to Busse.


You really don't "need" knives this tough, or cool. Really, you don't.


Move along.......nothing to see here......move along........
 
"Introducing the SARGE Series. . . .

A while ago I took a SAR blank into the grinding room and threw it at Garth. . . hit him square in the back of the head. He screamed, "Son-Of A Badger!!!!! . . . man that thing is heavy!" "Don't complain to me, I said. . .. If you don't like it. . . lighten it up!!!!" He said he would. . .So, he immediately got drunk and started grinding, drilling, and milling. . . . 3 days later, after the smoke cleared, he brought this lightweight, seemingly helium filled blade into my office tethered to his wrist with a piece of para cord to keep it from floating away! He dumped the thumb notches, gave it a full-height flat grind and then blew out the center of the handle tangs for amazing balance.

We liked it so much we started calling it the “Garth Edition”. . . .So, combine the SAR with Garth's combo of special features and you end up with the SARGE. “Search And Rescue Garth Edition”

Independent is it?

You're confused because the distribution is meant to be confusing.

Not really that confusing. I will try to explain.

Jerry gets drunk and calls Skunk. Drunken Jerry tells Skunk about some new model (SAR 7). Then Skunk gets drunk and orders a batch of SAR 7s. Once order is placed by drunk skunk, I take the grinding team out and we get drunk. Once drunk we make knives for drunk skunk. Once knives are completed drunk Jerry sends them to drunk skunk. Drunk skunk then announces he will be selling SAR 7s at a certain time. Hogs all get drunk waiting for drunk skunk to add the knives to the shopping cart at www.bussecompanystore.com. once drunk skunk puts the knives in the system, drunk hogs buy them. Knives sell out fast, everyone is drunk and everyone is happy.
Happy drunk skunk calls drunk jerry to tell him he is out of knives. Drunk jerry tells drunk skunk about some new model, and the cycle begins all over again.

There that's not confusing is it?

It's only confusing if (like me) you don't drink :confused::eek:

Trying to apply sober logic on this forum is almost a waste of time, but then again I have been doing exactly that for a while now and still managed to have every knife that I ever wanted so far :D:D

...........Wait, is that good or bad?? :eek::eek:
