Well there's always the secondary market,but if you've already been patiently researching, then waiting a little while longer for a scrap shouldn't hurt.I know it's strange not being able to just buy a knife from a knife company but there are truly no other knives like them out there.You never have to question whether your Dog is up to the task you just know it isn't going to fail you!In fact the only other knives I've bought over the last few years besides Busse-kin blades are SOG's(sorry I love SOG knives!)BK knives are my wife and SOG is my girlfriend HEEHEE!!Anyway that is why we all deal with the limited availability,simply put it's worth it!OH and again WELCOME TO THE YARD!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
