Very true, diceman. And nice of you to drop by and pay us a visit, Dwayne. After your post on October 7th, I feared we might never hear from you again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

I tend to agree with Unsub that there's a lot of smoke and mirrors around here. But if you want Busse family knives, so what? For Jerry, selling knives isn't just a business . . . it's a form of recreation. The games Jerry plays for his own amusement are just part and parcel of what it takes to get our hands on his knives. Those who don't want to play along can either not buy his knives or buy them at inflated prices off the secondary market. That's just the way it is.

I'm glad that Jerry showed us HUGE RESPECT by letting us Dogs in on the hunt!
I, for one, was COMPLETELY blown away when Jerry changed his sales strategy on the MOD7. That was totally out of character for him. Obviously, someone influential got to him . . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey bld, I'm not gone, just sitting in the shadows. I've been in the Busse game for a very long time and I tend to get burned out quick dealing with those who disrespect Jerry and his work, this encompasses all his endeavors from Busse Combat to the Swamp and the Scrap Yard. I've met the man face to face at the time right before the Yard was born, got to talk a lot about it, I even know what it was to be named before it became the yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have a huge amount of respect for Jerry, especially after our 4 hour talk and getting thrown out of the Red Lobster an hour after closing time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> His passion for knives equals my own with leather wich is close to what i have for his knives.

This kind of passion gets me in some hot water at times, read the "cranky old leatherbender" in my title on BF and Rat Chat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I just want the mutual respect between the Swamp and Busse Combat to be the same here as well, it all comes from the same place after all.
