Leatherdog, I did not intend to make you feel uncomfortable and have to defend Busse. I don't want you to feel you have to leave the forum!
I have a Basic 7.. It's gorgeous I love it's lines, I'd bet my life on it. It cost me a packet and it was money well spent with it's industry standard setting warranty. It came with a great kydex sheath.. The B7 knife cost $250 (perfect mint) $40 shipping and $80 to get through customs!!
My Badger cost $233, $35 shipping and around $75 customs fees.. I love it! My problem is that unlike Dan, Jerry doesn't do factory sheathes. My Badger is in Ontario pants (yuk..) I have emailed several non forum sheath makers or suppliers who have either not replied or wanted to charge me $80 shipping for a $35 Spec-ops sheath. (Yes really! $80 shipping on $35 product!). You are right I didn't contact you as I (probably) can't afford what you do, being totally honest!
Living over here two lots of extremely expensive shipping is a cause for pain.. Why can't Busse tie in with the sheath makers so I can pay one lot of shipping for the knife to arrive in it's sheath and you guys have the knives available? I didn't mean to suggest you got free knives- I think Busse SHOULD give you free forming blades to be honest! I meant as Gravelface said that as you don't get knives free, most of the linked vendors can't make sheathes unless I send my knife. That is just too expensive..
INFI is awesome. The Busse warranty is awesome. (I wish they made cars too!) From an overseas perspective the Busse sheath issue is just that, an issue! I hope you can accept this in the spirit it was written- I'll buy you a beer sometime!
