I think the point is missed on these knives. They are not prolific like McDonalds hamburgers, to be bought by anyone anywhere. They are something that otherwise would not be available, available to people who know about them. It's a reward for being around when they came out, for believing in SYKC, or just for being lucky and stumbling on them at the right time like I did. Look at them as a bonus, not something you have a right to.
However, the most recent evolution of the Busse-getting process seems to be observation. You have to keep your eyes on the boards. That means that collectors get all the INFI, and the soldiers and Marines who check the boards once a week are most likely to miss out. For that reason I feel obligated to post on this thread.
So yes, there should be a consistently available linup from at least one Busse company/subsidiary. And every little girl should have a pet flying pony in her color choice. We get what we get, and getting pissed about what we don't have is life. Sorry if that isn't helpful.
But seriously, I would very much like to see a lineup designed for hard use that would be available all the time. The first Swamp Rat marketing strategy was spot on. I wish they hadn't changed. But this may not be the highest yield investment for my $0.02.
