One thing we shouldn't overlook is the possibility that Jerry doesn't do his own blade finishing. I know through some conversations with Mike Stewart that Mike used to finish some of Jerry's blades. For all I know, he may still do that. If Jerry doesn't finish his own blades in-house, the cost for finishing could easily double or triple.
hmmmm.... that is very interesting. But if it didn't come out of Jerry's mouth then I won't believe it. I am pretty sure that Jerry has a crew of grinding monkeys to finish and work on the custom shop stuff. Garth is one of them but he is generally too busy managing other things. Jerry is a very smart businessman and would want to control all aspects of his operation. He probably would not want to rely on someone else to chance the quality of his finished products. It just doesn't make sense for Jerry to outsource his finishing when he can have it all done in house. Especially with the amount of knives that are put out between Busse, Scrapyard, and Swamprat.
