Okay, I guess I will throw my humble opinion into this. Dan, everyone knows you make fantastic knives, the one thing I like (or liked depending on what happens) about this forum is that is was differant than your sister and parent company forums. It is your house and you make the rules however you should realize like Dice said that your knives are discussed as much if not more on other forums like Justin's than his knives or other knives are talked about here. Also, it is not like you are loosing business over it, you said your self you are having a hard time keeping up with the orders you already have and if anything by alienating people here and handcuffing us as to what we can and can't discuss is going to drive more people away. I basically hang out at 2 forums and the one thing that seperated this one from Swamprat is that the people here were all down to earth and not affraid to discuss other knives.
Your blades are truely great, everyone knows this and you should have confidence enough in your product to not worry about other companies. It really isn't hurting your business at all, I can promise you that as soon as you release your blades regardless of the topic line here they will all sell, you have a very devoted fan base and should really take heart in some of the posts here to keep it that way. That is what makes your blades stand above the other in the Busse line.
cheers and no disrespect intended by this post
