...should Busse continue making the basics in INFI...
I'd really like to see Busse Combat INFI Basics, and I would imagine this possibility is already under serious consideration. I don't think there is a more ergonomic handle in the Busse line-up than the Basic resiprene grip, and the blade shapes of the Basics have excellent utility/versatility. I also like the light weight of the hidden tang on the Basic models.
It seems to me that if Busse intends to continue making the Basics in INFI, it would be good public relations to announce that fact before the Basic product line escalates in price--which is bound to happen if consumers are allowed to react under the impression that this is the "last call" for Basics.
I don't think Basics were ever considered serious collectable candidates, and announcing that INFI Basics are in the works would keep anyone from mistakenly paying collector prices for M-INFI blades. Obviously INFI Basics would be expected to cost more than M-INFI, and that fact would protect the desireability/marketability of the M-INFI Basic line at current prices until the current stock is sold out.
Just my $0.02.
