Before I even start here I want to make it clear that I am neither praising or knocking Busse's new idea of introducing many models in SR101 .
I'm more interested in what this could mean and what everyone thinks of it . I understand that it allows people to buy into the Busse family at a much easier price to afford . And that that can lead to them buying into the INFI line I guess .
But does it diminish the Busse mystique ? I mean Busse always meant INFI and INFI always meant Busse .
How will this affect Swamp Rat ? Because Busse and Swamp Rat have always been build the same way , with full tangs and micarta or G10 handle scales affixed with the tubes . With the difference being the models and INFI steel . Now the only difference between a Swamp Rat and a Busse is the model .
Again , I'm not running this business model down , nor am I trying to start a riot . Just wondering what the feeling is about it all .
I myself have an SR101 BG ASH 1 on it's way to me that I just bought . It has always been sort of a "grail" of mine , but was pretty much out of reach price wise . So now I'll have one . But I can't help wonder if getting my grail will feel hollow if it's not INFI .
