Back when I first started collecting, or hording, or obsessing over Busse(kin) knives the releases weren't that frequent, and didn't stay available for long.

The business model seemingly changed now that there are a few semi-permanent offerings:

Busse: TGLB has been around for a couple of years
Swamp: RMD is still up
Yard: the 11 series continues to grow and stay up

I wonder if this is a change in business practice, if the knives are selling so poorly (or well) that they're keeping certain models available or some other reason?

Personally, I liked the old model better. It built excitement. I don't' like having an omnipresent offering to consider. I'd prefer the build up and delivery of something new, unique, and time sensitive. It created an atmosphere of energy and excitement. Now its, "oh they released the same knife with an orange handle - its in the store if you're interested".

Does anyone agree?
