Agreed, I think I have paid extra for maybe three Bussekin knives in my collection. However, due to the uniqueness of the knife it was worth it to me as tight as I am. Though it is frustrating, never quit trying. And though I don't collect many multiples of identical blades, just remember that dealers and other multiple collectors have money the same color as yours, only perhaps a little more of it. They pay for them up front, just like anyone else. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
