So I understand that there is a connection between all of the Busse brands. But how deep is that, and what does it mean? I kept wanting to buy a scrapyard, but I have bought 4 Swamp rats and a couple of Ganza Busse's instead.
I had signed up for all of the forums, and I got permission granted for all but the Busse Combat forums for some reason :grumpy:
Is there a collectors site where one can see the old offerings especially the ones in SR77?
Dogfather, son of dogfather, scrapper 6, dumpster mut, yard keeper, ...
any other models?
What does all that mean in the real world? We don't know. OTOH, who cares? Welcome to the Bussekin Universe. Buy a knife (or not), stick around for the community.
From the outside, reading the available information:
Jerry Busse founded and runs the Busse combat Knife Co.
his wife, Jennifer Busse, is responsible for the Swamp Rat Knife Co,
and his brother, Dan Busse, runs Scrap Yard knife Co.

I am not infavor of the old model. They made a fixed number of knives, announced them, and when they were gone, they were gone. One model that I wanted lasted only 20 minutes. I was at the store. Missed out. People would buy large number of knives (to re-sell I assume). I greatly favor the current model. At lease you have time to find out they are for sale. My business does not allow me to camp on the computer. I have 30 or so Buss/SwampRat/Scrapyard knives, but none from Ganzaas or from the Yard old model. I got most of mine when Buss used to come out west to knife shows. I got quite a few from the swamprat web site (new business model).
