I agree with above poster. This makes a LOT more sense to me. I am not a collector, just like to use good steel hunting, camping etc. I have a few other decent knives and would like to get a good Busse knife of some type(Busse, Swamp Rat, Scrap Yard) because the consensus seems to be that they are the best knife you can buy period, however I am not interested in paying way over retail on the secondary market. If I have to I'll just get something else. I've been patiently watching these forums for the oportunity to buy the new regulator and been checking swamp rats website regularly for any updates on thier upcoming releases. After doing this for give or take a month, I have to say that there has to be an easier way to buy a good knife. I think the new way of doing things sounds great. Be nice to be able to just get a knife when I want it.
