I just spent 2+ hours reading in this thread, and a few threads from a search I did. Before coming here, I was trying to find out where one bought a Busse knife, other than the combat basics.
I have a couple questions, that are enough in line with parts of this thread that I decided to post here, rather than create a new thread.
First off: Is Sharper Instinct the only source of battle grade, and other Busse knives than the combat basics? I think I read somewhere that one can buy directly from the factory, but can't find a URL that works for me.
Secondly: What is the scoop on paying up front on a knife that won't be built/shipped for several months? If dealers of other knives charge on an item that is backordered, it earns them a burn on G, B, &U. I haven't heard of any other knife/company for which this is the case. Even custom makers only charge up front for special resources, such as pearl scales, etc. Is this confined to Sharper Instinct, or does the factory do it too?
Would appreciate a little enlightenment on these issues. Thanks much,
