Guyon,
I know you're a well respected Hog, (I've seen you on BF) but KG is a very well respected dog so I would take a different route with the way you convey things.
(just to keep it more friendly you know?)
just my opinion.
knifeguy knows the way things work.

Also, Busse is a bit different than the yard because even thought you may get "jerked around" you get offered blades.
jerry seems to keep his word.
he is also their to answer questions. (both on BF and some other forums, every once in a while)

However this situation is different since some would say we've got a lot of promises with little in return. (I know, it's beating a dead horse, sorry)
anyways... I've almost lost any interest in getting a SY (over the past six months or so there have just been too many good companies that I could have easily bought from, and may want to in the future and I'm starting to push Sy to the bottom of my list) but we'll just see what happens when feeding time comes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

maybe we will get something soon, but even then a knife every six months just doesn't appeal to me a whole lot anymore.
