The one that has me a little puzzled is the MOFOs and Uncle MOFOs, I think they are one of the best profiles and grinds out there, but they still sell relatively cheap and I can't figure out why.

Bro, let's keep this one quiet --- shhhh...

LOL, I'm with you on these ---- these are some of the best busses that I've handled (and the best looking too.) Not sure why they aren't selling right now. I sure would like to get my hands on a few more as I only have one right now...

Not only are the Mofo's one of the coolest blades out there, they are fairly rare as well. There were less than 100 of each model made if IIRC. (of course I think the Uncle MoFo is the best of the best but I am biased as well

)

I'm thinking the Defenders and the ST-56 will always be hard to get blades. The GWs will stay high too.

The ST-56 will def be one of those "anyone got one" blades.

And there is only about 4 people on here that know why you're biased.

AK's
The New Mean Streets
FBM's
The new SH I's

I highly agree with you on the Uncle Mofos, one of his top 3.

I'll bet any knife that is part of a military run, as the vets get out of service, will fetch a major premium down the road. Look what Gerber MK IIs that were actually in Vietnam fetch (let alone Randalls). Imagine what Busses that were in theatre will bring.

I have been wondering about this. Busse has been making knives for military service for some time now, why are they NEVER found on the secondary market? We read that many military folk are not really knife savvy, so why don't at least some of them bring a knife home and sell it?

So would anyone think a BIBB would belong on the sleeper list? I love mine, and I'm under the assumption that there were only about 50, but I never hear of them.

Hogwash · May 3, 2007

I think a sleeper has to be a knife that you can buy for a reasonable price.

The BIBB and a lot of other over run knives are already expensive or very hard to find.

Look at a Mud Razor. When was the last time you saw one on the exchange?

Agreed! I don't think there are enough people that have physically seen or handled one to appreciate them.

Ahh, gotcha.

So like some of the now harder to find Wardens? (Green Linen)

Hogwash · May 3, 2007

If you thought a Green Linen Game Warden was going to increase in price rapidly, it's still hard to find right now, probably not a sleeper.

If you thought a fire warden was going to increase rapidly, that would be a sleeper because I know of at least two that are available on the exchange.

SHUT UP! Now I'm afraid to even use my Mud Razor.

I gotta start buyin triples of stuff. DANGIT!

"Crap. I don't wanna use this knife - looks like it's gonna appreciate."

I'm such a maroon.
