I think it would be an insult to jerry if you buy one of his knives with the intent of leaving it in a box. These knives are made with the specific intent that everyone will abuse the sh%t out of them. I would compare it to the idiots who buy Ferrari's, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, only to drive them on the weekends four blocks to pick up the sunday newspaper... the whole time never going over 40mph.
These people need to be beaten.... a lot. Enzo Ferrari did not want his cars to drive 40 mph (except in a 180 hairpin) and Jerry Busse doesn't build his knives to sit in a safe. :grumpy:
Show his creations some dignity and go hack down the tree in the yard across the street with a Battle Mistress... and to those schlumps out there with the Ferrari's, McLarens, Porches and even Corvetts, send them to me so I can treat them with the loving respect they deserve.
