In addition to my other post I also posted this link which shows an actual Busse knife with a man in the military. No idea if this was a "special contract" knife because it was also a regular production knife, but it is stated that it is "his teams favorite knife". You must have missed it the first time so I'll post it again

So it appears that your questions/complaints really were addressed.

Bloke? I've been called worse ;) (That's a joke)

I tend to skim through most of these storms

Cougar Allen it is nice to see that someone here is prepared to be sensible. Sorry I've probably put you in a lot of trouble now.

Cougar is fine. He just stopped by to make sure everything stays peaceful.

I’ll try and add some perspective to my post. I am not a Busse enthusiast or collector. I am a knife enthusiast and user. I was first introduced to Busse knives when I picked up a US magazine. At the time I was on active duty, I had access to the internet and a search found among other things this forum. I read many references to military contracts and special units and lots of hype about Busse knife performance.

Cool

I assumed that all I had to do was ask around the shop and someone could direct me to a supply of Busse knives.
While I did find a couple and many other custom knives they were all privately purchased.

Call the shop and speak with Garth. He may be able to help

I have no interest in pictures, I don’t care if you call me names, I’m not doubting the performance of the knives, I’m not doubting the existence of military contracts and Jerry can market knives any way he pleases. He can claim they are the official knife of the intergalactic alliance for all I care.

Intergalactic Alliance are a bunch of ****** :D

I’m simply asking does anyone have any information about these military contracts knives.

No, because they are required to remain private

A simple NO would have been sufficient.

No

I would think as collectors you would be interested

Interested? Yes. Just like Roswell. Do I have the right to know? No.

While your all throwing “Hissy Fits” there is another forum that most people here don’t have access to, that is watching carefully, the members are all active servicemen, many are from special units, some are Busse knife owners, many would like to have access to good quality blades through supply channels.

Hissy Fits? I prefer to think of them as Internet Tantrums. As for the "watching carefully", in all honesty, that is kinda creepy. Also, kind of like Black Helicopters and mutilated cows. As for a supply channel, have you contacted Jerry or anyone at Busse in that regard? Have you contacted the company store and seen if they could establish something for you? Rather than let bitterness grow at the fact that infi is hard to come by and you aren't having the best of luck, why not step out there and try to set up some accounts?

The current view on that forum is that this thread is a load of BS and you can take that anyway you please

I agree. All of this could have been avoided with a call to the shop. Everyone's posts in here could have been more tactful. You think we're throwing a hissy fit, but what if I were to say something crude against Australia? Would you not defend it? As would I defend something that I back as well.

I'm sorry, but I have to call BS on this one. Black helicopters raping cattle, sure... but members of Special Units actively serving consider BFC a threat and thusly watch us carefully?!?

I may be wrong, as I have been in the past, but are you kidding me? :confused:

No disrespect intended as I use a humorous nature when dealing with something I feel to be a bit far stretched based on my knowledge in life.


Edited to add this: If you have been observing more often, then you would have picked up on the fact that many on this forums are always willing to help others. That we will "go to bat" to help others acquire infi. Jaxx can snag 27 of anything without blinking. I have snagged infi for others. So rather than just watch, participate, enjoy and have fun. I know there are many people that have respect for military personnel and will help them out, but only when that military personnel conducts themselves in a tasteful manner in which I am lead to believe that soldier's commanding officer expects of them.
 
Eric why don't we just stick to the subject of the thread?
It is totally irrelevant that I once had an issue with ordering knives from Busse Combat.
I now have 2 game wardens purchased from the company store (with my credit card) and a Satin Jack that was acquired as a trade. I will be keeping one of the Warden the others are for sale or trade.

So now that I’ve dealt with yet another side issue/diversion can we get back to the original subject?

I have no interest in pictures,
I don’t care if you call me names,
I’m not doubting the performance of the Busse knives,
I have no problems with acquiring Busse knives
If Busse Combat don’t want to accept credit cards that their business
I’m not doubting the existence of military contracts and Jerry can market knives any way he pleases. He can claim they are the official knife of the intergalactic alliance for all I care.
Being a military type (what ever that means) has nothing to do with it.
(Though I would have thought that the invitation for those that served their country to say what they like could be at least partially extended to their close allies).

I’m simply asking does anyone have any information about these military contracts knives.

Yes or No

I answered you in Post #122.

Short Answer: NO

Long Answer: Probably in order for Jerry to keep his gov't contracts, as well as other companies dealing with the Military, they probably sign a legally binding contract aka gag order. Did we ever hear about GPS units before they were released to the public? NO. Because that company was probably under a gag order during production per the Military. So I would imagine that Jerry is producing many military contracts to which I cannot prove exist except for Jerry Busse's word. So no one that has that information is legally permitted to speak on the subject.

Yes. . . His name is Jerry. Doubt that he will go into specifics though.


Personally, I could care less about how any knife is affiliated with the military- that marketing has no affect on me. The fact that most knife companies constantly play that card to help sell their knives doesn't make me want them. I buy knives for their quality, performance, and warranty, not based on a manufactured image. Busse advertises less than any knife company I know of, and they do not play up the military hype in the few ads I have seen. I am just glad I have been able to score some of those sweet military overruns when they have been made available.
 
LOL! There is so much inventive excuse-making in this thread, so many attempts to explain the imagined lack of evidence, you might seriously convince people there isn't any evidence of military purchases. Why are you people doing that??? Do you really think Busse needs you dorks making excuses for them??? (And do you really think knives are secret weapons?)

Evidence has been posted in this thread, though few seem to have noticed it amid all the hissy fits and excuses. I see Cobalt has started a new thread now, which was a good idea -- if he had posted in this one it would only have been lost in all the noise, just like the other answers that have been posted here.... :rolleyes:

Naturally everybody is entitled to post his thoughts, but you people who think you've been defending Busse have not been accomplishing what you hoped to accomplish. Quite the contrary.

If there are military overruns, that implies there were military orders.

If there were military orders, then there are pictures of soldiers/units/teams with their knives.

Around 2800 people have viewed this thread and yet no pictures have surfaced. Eric - the picture you referenced is old and highly questionable at best. That man bears no military insignias, only o.d. green fatigues and that knife is certainly not an EH3 mojo.

You guys just talk it around a circle and sweep it under the rug.

Billy Tee- I appreciate your support, there are alot of posters here for 1 man to handle.
 
KAAK-

I helped you once when you needed help with your weight problem.

This is how you are going to return the favor?
 
This thing still going on? No wonder the GWs are lasting so long. I hope this happens again when the SFNOs, BATAC SE & LEs hit it. ;)

That's a great idea! We could start a thread entitled "INFI is really 420HC!!!" or something like that, then clean up while everyone is distracted. :D

P.S. I received a sage MS, a muddy MS, and two sage GW's in the mail today. It was a good day.
 
Now this is just getting funny

Billy Tee really thinks there are active servicemen, MANY from special units watching this thread carefully. LMAO...guess theres not much for them to do:confused:

Couger called all that posted for Busse a Dork. LMAO...why is he here then..oh yeah, to call people a dork:confused:

Little Prick, basically calling Jerry a liar? LMAO.... why would you assume this:confused:

I'm not getting back in this, didn't want to get in but these 3 are just cracking me up
 
I am supprised no one has posted a picture I found somewhere in the Busse world. I assume since these knives have a military logo, they are actually going to a military unit.
Anyone notice how Busse Combat Knives came to expand with the US militray wars (Afgan and Iraq). Military groups buy all knids of stuff the public is never told about. I have designed several buildings for a company locally here that is selling stuff to the military, growing like crazy, and is very quite about it.
Do you think Jerry paid for those CNC machines with profits from Ganzaas?
Mike Stewart (BRKT) stated he had to get permission from the Marines to offer the Bravo-1 to the public.
It is obvious to me.

Wow Kenny - didn't think you'd get involved! Now I just have to post in here since everyone else is :D

I prefer to stay away from useless controversy. People can believe what they want to believe - who cares? That goes for all sides of any disagreement IMHO.

I don't know anyone from Busse, but they seem to be good ppl from the posts I've seen. I don't know whether or not the knives have been ordered by the military nor do I care. I have made my own judgements on Busse's knives - they're awesome knives because I have kicked the ever livin' you-know-what out of them and they took it. Not to mention I honestly like their designs. I don't follow the crowd or the hype, just the quality of the knives which speak for themselves. There are a lot of other knives of good quality as well and I buy those too... meh. Whatever...

Good plan! A thousand dorks will post elaborate excuses to explain why no one can possibly prove INFI isn't really 420HC (it's a military secret!) and although a half-dozen people will post the proof, no one will notice it in with all those excuses for no proof. Besides, a lot of other people will have hissy fits and muddy the issue even more. If anyone ever does figure it out it will be far too late -- we'll have nabbed all the INFI. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
 
I am making a note of your sinister plan with invisible ink. . . in my secret black book of sinister secrets.

Prove the book doesn't exist.

RF: Ha... But you see, there are Spec. Ops/Special Forces dudes on a forum, of which most of you do not have access to, that are watching you make said notes and thus are making notes of their own, in THE Black Book Of Sinister Secrets. :eek::p
