There is a big difference between can tell with an electron microscope to "made in the USA". It is a big deal some places that the weapons do not come from the US.
Israel and the US sent a whole bunch of AK's and ammo to Fatah(the former PLO) in the west bank
and being able to deny that they came from the US and Israel is very important often life or death.
The US can send them Chinese,Russian,Egytian,Chek, AK's and ammo and so on...all day long. We don't have to send them weapons labeled US. Everyone knows who's fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan or basically anywhere else in the world and how supplying them. Whether a knife is marked or not is a sales pitch theses days. You can buy anything you want, wherever you are, even in communists China. So if a secret team has Buck, Busse or whatever, doesn't tell you where there going or who exactly they are. If they have to be that careful, black ops would be picking up their spent casings.
Busse,SwampRat,ScrapYard sells knives to small units and individuals in the military. I'm sure it would make Jerry's day to have his knives as standard military issue. Whether the contracts are big or small is not the issue. The issue is these are great knives, no matter how you cut the pie. They even offer them for everyones price range. Busse "high end" SwampRat "middle" and Scrapyard captures the "low end price range" of the consumer, so no one is left out. In the past I would never have thought I would spend more that a 100 for a knife. Now I own all three price ranges. Jerry is a marketing genius, and I'm glad he's doing it. He took the risk and now he's living the American Dream, doing what he loves (making knives), getting rich and passing it around. He makes everyone feel special and I applaud him for his work and generosity. Thanks for making great knives and spreading the joy and love. Take Care Busse family.
Just my 2cents.
