Why so top secret? I'm sure no more than 15
Maybe i`m wrong, but to my knowledge there is the Swamp Rat version which is called the INFIDU and then you got the Busse version which is called the Swatmandu - INFIDU = Swamp Rat and SWATMANDU = Busse. Someone please correct me if i`m wrong.
Pics of my Swamp Rat knife in INFI and coyote G-10, aka. the INFIDU...

Because he sells them as "rare/discontinued" due to this CS logo he had applied.
Discontinued they are indeed, very much so yet that is regardless of what they are logo'd my friend. They could have been the standard logo and it would not have any effect on the reality that they are still discontinued, as in you cannot order an INFI Ratmandu any longer ...your argument is invalid my friend.
Might not be a bad idea given that there's already 3rd variation of INFI RMD and two of Beefmandu.

I didn't say "discontinued", as that can be said for almost ALL Bussekin, and doesn't make them more special than the others. All but the Bussekin uninitiated know that.
I said "rare/discontinued", didn't I Maggot Brain? (or is that aaaa_cccc, or Red Angel Dragnet, or A Fond Farewell, or... I've lost track.) Just because you can order a special logo/writing on the blade, doesn't necessarily make it any more special or "rare". ETA: Or worth any more $$$ for that matter...

OMG don't start a feud over a simple question I asked.
Come on guys I was just curious is all!
He didn't sell em for any more than you woulda paid for a normal logo'd one.
Super deal in fact with kydex sheath no less so.......everyone zip their pants back up! LOL
Take no offense, this was not directed at you. More the sales tactic MB uses regarding his "special" logo and how he chooses to advertise it. BTW, did he ever give you a direct answer to your question? Or did he deflect it? Think about that.
PS - Apologies to the OP for this somewhat relevant off topic divergence. Good info for future Google searches on the BIG INFIManDu. I'm sure the question about the "INFI" logo will eventually be asked.
No matter what; in my opinion the RatManDu design from Swamp Rat is one of the greathest knife designs ever, INFI versions, Swamp Rat or Busse, makes it one of the best knives ever made.
It's all good! I didn't by one just because of the "INFI" only on it.
Does look cleaner.......it is nice to have something not just everyone has.
Sales tactics? I'm not seeing special sales tactic at all.
This is what I saw........No big sales pitch here at all!
... troll ...
Without looking to double check, I believe it was MemorialDayGanza this summer.
