Gee guys, it was just an idea. No need to go all INFI kool-aide paranoid cult nuts about it. Who cares? It's no big deal whether they make kitchen knives or not to me. Not my company. It may not be a good idea. It may not fit in to their business plans at all. I just thought it might be worth considering since Busse already has all that nice 154CM steel and the Res C mudder handles. Many knives can be dual purpose anyway. A good butcher knife is also a decent skinning and hunting knife. In fact, the early trade knives were pretty much the same as kitchen knives. If they made some nice kitchen knives, I'd probably buy a few, but many folks just don't care about the quality of their kitchen knives.
