Busse.
I don't get why people jump at paying the (sometimes) crazy secondary market prices.... Prices for ones I've seen listed Evilbay have been nuttier than squirrel shit. Huge mark-ups compared to what folks on BF are selling for...
Maybe I'm just missing something...
You are not missing anything with the overpriced Ebay sellers.
Just be patient, and bide your time. Order factory direct, or keep an eye on the exchange here.
Sometimes INSANE deals can be had on E bay, but they are few and far between (and sneaky hogs might not let you win a bid too often).
I get irked by people who continually list and re list their Busse at 4 times the price they paid a week before. Some one must be sucker enough to occasionally fall for this, as they keep doing it.
Just be aware, there are others, who buy large volumes for their own collections, that continually list them at original prices, as they are not out to scalp anyone. True users and collectors who simply love the stuff!
I have had quite a few secondary deals of new Busse at cost or even less.
Hinderers are well made. Take a while to get, and have often large secondary markups. But they are solid knives, and if you buy direct, not a bad deal at all. The Fit and Finish on the one I got to carry and use as part of the pass around was great.
Randals might be another example of "overpriced". They have a long waiting list, and people have continual orders in and resell them at a premium. People pay what they are willing to pay for knives.
A bit of planning, and patience, and you could get them for much less. (direct prices, or well bought secondary market).
