The Busse Bite

[papathud]

In my two years and 5 months as a Busse dealer I set up at a lot of shows.

I noticed early on that people checking the edge, and not being used to the type of edge that Busse was using at the time(#60 grit coarse I think then Buffed Asym)
Would pretty commonly cut them selves and bleed for a while over the table before noticing.

What I did to make this happen less was to put a line of completly unsharpened knives along the edge of the table and to put up little signs saying that the knives were sharp and to have a few Bandaids placed between the knives.

Lots of the bandaids got used.

It was not unusual for a person to get cut testing the edge and then to buy the knife.

I'm really paranoid around my busses...they'll cut you for looking at them wrong...so aside from that first time I looked at my SteelHeart wrong, I've avoided cuts that require bandaids...lots of little cuts just barely through my skin though, not enough to bleed, but enough to know that I needed to be more careful.

It was not unusual for a person to get cut testing the edge and then to buy the knife.

Hmmm...we joke about being INFIcted, or INFIdicted...maybe there's more truth to it than we thought....*cue scary music*
