i only learned about bussekin knives very recently, i only learned about them from my desire to buy the best. id say a majority of busses marketing comes from word of mouth which lowers their overhead and also means WE are the ones working for them in a way. so when a company cuts off almost all communication with its clients then i can see why clients would be upset.

personally i wouldnt buy anything in 154cm id just assume go buy a cheapo kitchen knife.

i am sad i never got to buy a SR knife. i cant justify spending 2ndry market prices.

on a side note if SR does close shop what happens to their lifetime guarantee on knives? will busse take the guarantee?
