Well- it sounds like they are going to stay with their upper line. In business you can either hit the high side of things or the low. In this economy the folks with less income are the guys that just don't have purchasing power plain and simple. The upper line Big Busse Knives are a toatly differnt breed of cat. They have big $$$ and they will spend it. Even during the depression those that had bucks did quite well. Plus- it is less work for the Busse Boys and a better profit I might add. The shop can only turn out so many blades and you sure cannot blame them for going with what pays the most. Guess we will see what they have to say. I am thinking that the SY knives will actually soar on the secondary. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Just my thoughts. We shall see. Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
