Great post KnifeGuy...I agree with everything you wrote...

As to this blank knife blade - Id really like to see what it will retail for...! $100USD, $150 ????

Thanks John.

I don't think the "Jack Hammer" "Competition Grade" knife was intended to be sold as just a "BLANK" blade - Jerry even mentioned: "Handles can be a bit rough as well" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> - And would very unlikely be anywhere near $150 let alone $100 in INFI and with a handle.

Hmmm, youre right, I just saw the pic and assumed due to the naked/raw looking blade, it wouldnt include a handle... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

As to selling unrefined blades with rough finish...isnt Busse the premium line ? Swamp-Rat being lower in price, and Scrap-Yard cheaper still ? So wouldnt a low priced rough knife from Busse overlap...? Seems that it would be literally perfect as a "Scrap-Yard" knife...Busse offering the high end that command premium prices, and the other two brands offering cheaper (NON-LE) users...?

I also think that a bare bones blade kit would be Yardtastic price wise. I keep coming back to the QC that Dan and the other Busse's demand. While the blade would still be of the greatest quality, the handle would be a toss up.
