I do hope it will be a permanent offer.
Being affordable it will give people the chance to handle an infi blade.
This experience will make some of these buying (more) Busse stuff, people who otherwise wouldn't be reached.
If you want to invest in knives you can do it in the Busse custom shop (or in Randalls if the return is more important for you than the use)
It would be great to give people that haven't got the funds available at the moment the chance of getting one of these later on at a reasonable price.

I don't find it near-sighted, in fact my respect for the bussekin would grow.
There will always be limited offerings upmarket.
