Question about "SOLD OUT" knives on the Busse site

evilcatfish · Aug 19, 2015

So I've been wondering this for a while: why do some knives stay on the site but say sold out (like the SOB) but others just disappear completely (TGLB) ? Is there any rhyme or reason to this or just another Busse quirk I may as well not even try to understand? Regardless the reason, bring on the ASH 2!

Strange things happen when Jerry & crew get to drinking, best not to ask too many questions I reckon.

I was wondering the same thing though, but in all honesty it makes no difference either way as the point still remains that GOOD THINGS ARE COMING!!!

I think the real question is how long will it be until the rest of the Busse & Swamp Rat offerings will be sold out on the website, I'd wager not long given the trends of late. Better jump on it if anybody is out there on the fence. :thumb up:

Couldn't have said it better ourselves

Alcohol is the main reason behind everything we do.

When Pokey? When? 2 weeks? Anticipation is killing those of us who lack patience.

..... Patience?...... Heck!, just get drinking already. Helps to pass the time. That's what everyone at Busse is doing!

How about hints, pics, cryptic coded musings on the size and shape of infi's future manifestations...

...or you can just post them and take my money

Huh...

The TGLB no longer available?

Robdude · Aug 20, 2015

you heard it from Pokey1, time to start saving our money

in fact.. I think ill send Jerry a case of the Macallan scotch and a copy of Braveheart to get those creative juices flowin

Because I want the release of a new Battle Mistress to be born that looks more aggressive like the FFBM or MOAB...

Robdude · Aug 20, 2015

Ya no kidding^ Scrap Yard is more of an empty parking lot right now.. whats up with that??

Just to tag a question onto this thread, does anybody know if they'll still change grips on a discontinued knife model? Been kicking around the idea of some green and bkack g10.

My theory is the knives disappear from the site if the Custom Shop has blanks for them, and they go to "Sold Out" if there are no blanks. Just a theory.

Interesting theory - I should test it by trying to order a custom AMS, maybe. It would be nice if the CS site had a relatively current list of available blade blanks on it; I feel like a pest continually checking in to ask if they have blank X, Y, and Z.

They generally will, I think, but it may take some time. I had some new scales made for my AD not too long ago (in that same color scheme, coincidentally) and that one's been discontinued for a while . Zip an email off to Garth and he'll take care of you.
