The original, straight-handled Satin Jack is the only Busse knife I own. I'm like you, Andy. I can't afford to spend a lot of money on expensive knives. But I really wanted to own a Busse knife and the Satin Jack just called out to me. So I bit the bullet and bought one from Skunk long before he started running the Busse Company Store. Today I could sell my SJ for half again as much as I paid for it, if not more. But I don't intend to do that. Certain knives are a part of my permanent collection and my SJ is definitely one of them.
