Off-topic. Heads-up, a good classy folder, cheap.

[Walking Man]

I really love my Busses. If I could take an AD or other small one to work I would. If there's ever a folder that comes out, I'd really like to see a 3" version of this knife. Or at least a lockback with INFI, if a smaller version appears to be unfeasable. In the meantime, I'm forced to a carry a folder.
I don't know if this is appropriate or not, please feel free to pitch it if I'm out of line, but I wanted to give the heads up to anyone in this forum who is looking for a good "trouser-friendly" folder. Besides, this place is turning into a "Busse Cantina", and I've seen lots of off topic threads floating around. AND I like you guys, so I thought I'd give you a tip.
Anyway, here goes:
IMO, a very, very nice folder to be had at a great price is the CRKT limited edition Howard Viele Wasp. Smooth as heck, comfortable, and built with a solid liner lock, much better than most. I've seen them for around $100 on eBay, and they were available originally for $250 at it's lowest price from internet dealers. Made in Switzerland, and very, very smooth and well finished. This is a gread deal for those of you looking
for a nice classy knife to fit into your trousers.
Are there any other trouser-wearing Busse fans out there? (I know you're out there.......) What do you guys do about taking a knife for use at work? I've thought that an assault shaker in a leather sheath might work for trousers? any ideas? Thanks.

I'm just a little confused here. If the forum is for Busse, why are you promoting another brand? Does not their other company Swamp Rats sell a folder too?

Why would you post something like this here? Is this allowed? I'm still pretty new here, but the off topics do not seem to promote other brands. Is notthis something that should be in maybe another part of Blade Forums?

Please let me know if this is proper action.

Not quite cricket Fatboy. While I apreciate WM wanting to share a quality piece with us, I agree that perhaps it is best done in another place on BF. No bash on you WM. I am sure Mike will be along later and see it. He is always watching, except when he is sleeping.

I'll delete this if necessary, but it's been out of production a while now, which might explain the ridiculously low price. Also, IMO it's not in the same boat as the Rat Trap. I'm just trying to point out a good deal to my fellow HOGs (not that I claim to be one) that I don't think competes with Busse co. And I hope that if any of you that are looking for an incredible deal on a nice folder take avantage of this. I'm not selling, nor do I have anything to do with any of these sellers. Seriously, I'm just posting here, because I'd rather mention it to you guys first, rather than that the other whole population. I don't know if it's just my personality that lets me fit in better here than elsewhere, but I believe there's as much heart and character here as there is in Busse knives, themselves.
Mike?

Okay, here I am, back to check to make sure if this thread is legal. I am a trouser-wearing guy at work, so what's a Busse fan to do? Get a smallish-sheeple happy folder, that's what.
So far no word yet, but here I am monitoring this, because I'd just want to stay on the right side of the road.

I would just like to say that one of the reasons I hang here and became a member is because of the helpful nature of so many that post here. WM, Thank You for the heads up! I personally feel helpful posting belongs anywhere, besides, if you see something cool or helpful, don't you usually tell friends or the people you hang with? I'm sorry if I'm out of line here, but if you look around the Busse forum, it feels like a bunch of brothers talking about what's important to them. That's why I'm here, Thank You. :footinmou

In response to this, I'd like to mention that I would NOT like to promote CRKT as a company, their knives are very hit and miss. This knife is quite the exception to their average piece of work. It was not built in their usual factories, and is really more of a semi-custom piece of work, similar to the quality that Busses are known for.
Also, I'd like to make clear that this one is a very rare deal. I would have said anything at all, if I hadn't made a facial expression like this > >
