Thoughts--If / When the Busse folder....?

G10 liner lock s30v anybody?

 

I carried that ^ today, its called a rat trap

100% INFI for me baby!

 

I don't think busse will ever make a folder.

 

Yeah, anyway... a month or so ago, there was this Leprechaun... long story short---I was this [-] close! Sneaky little buggers; was gonna ask him for an INFI folder...

Note: the aforementioned scenario has a more likely chance of success than seeing a folder in the next, well---probably ever...





...But, on the off chance there really is something at the end of "that" rainbow...?!? I'm thinking DC w/ Black canvas & crimson liners or dc w/ black/red G-10... Anyone know which hard spirits attract the little folk?

 

My thoughts are.....

Don't hold your breath.

Just enjoy the fixed blades and get a folder from one of many other good makers

 

INFI:thumbup:

 

Two weeks

 

Let's imagine that you owned a knife company that was legendary for the toughness of it's knives and for the almost limitless warranty. Let's say that your knives' reputation was such that what would be considered abuse of most knives was just common practice with your knives, and many users considered damaging your knives to be a challenge to be attempted.

Now let's break our knives in the middle, put in a pivot and make the knife fold. No matter how tough the steel is, no matter the quality of construction, you have made your knife considerably weaker, and those who would deliberately destroy your knives are still out there. So what do you do about that warranty?
No reasonable person would begrudge you the option of disallowing deliberate, wanton abuse from being covered. However, your reputation and pride of product is tied to that bombproof warranty. Other folder manufacturers claim to have such warranties, but they all sooner or later invoke unreasonable abuse as an out.

So what would you do?

As the manufacturer, I wouldn't make the folder.

As a customer, I would be happy to accept a lesser warranty to get the knife.

 

My guess would be something like these (click the pic for a larger image):





(These are pics from Jerry's 2006 patent application previously posted by SNAFU here.)

 

It will be the Busse two weeks

 

They have already made at least one. It was at last years Blade show. Somebody show the pics.

 

I would have to agree with the wisdom of Mike. Besides, if we get the folder, we'll have nothing left to hold on to. The folder dream has been alive for the past 12 years, so I say KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE. And I don't see any negativity at all Just an old, wise hog that has been around that has a great point about the matter (MikeH).

 

Jerry has made at least 2 folders. None have been produced in quantity and IMO never will be.

 

There is a picture or JAXX holding the busse folder floating around the forum.

 

Yeah, I have fondled a folder prototype myself, at the Blade Show, but making it a production item is the issue. There is no doubt that a very few exist.

Mass producing folders is a whole new ball game

 

No need to mass produce; the fixed blades aren't. I continue to dream of the Busse folder.
