Quite honestly I think it's a marketing ploy. I bet the next time a knife goes up for sale people who are on the fence about it will go ahead and jump on it before they yank it down without warning. Kind of like when they used to post that knives were available in the Swamp Rat store, you knew you didn't really have a lot of time to think about it, you just had to pull the trigger. If you wound up not liking the knife, you could always sell it.

The great thing about any Busse-kin knife is that it's almost impossible to lose money on one of them if you buy it from the factory. So, it's always safe to just go ahead and get one.

I do understand where you're coming from though Bruce.
