It also seems that no matter how much the taxpayers keep throwing at the market, it continues to fold.

I was talking more about the satin g-rex ganzaa stuff being in a similar range

That knife is certainly not pretty, but I bet it would work well. I've been tempted just because I think it's a bargain, but I won't loose any sleep if they disappear before I decide to place that order.

I haven't looked at my stuff in a few weeks. it was way too shocking the last time I looked

I don't mind recurves but the serrations really don't do anything for me. I'll keep my serrations on a second folder.

Handle materials can add a lot to the price (I really like the Mammoth Tooth, but haven't been willing to pay for it), but G10, even G-rex type, shouldn't be a huge cost. I don't think I've ever seen a G-rex on something that doesn't have a satin or double-cut blade, and that seems to add a lot to INFI prices regardless of what kind of handles you get.

I'm happy just getting the SODs that I ordered. A one of a kind Busse will add to any collection tho...hmmm...

It occurs to me that Busse Combat may not be willing to copy a Swamp Rat knife -- they're family, but are also fairly stringent about maintaining separate identities between companies.

I would think so too... They are family, but different companies. That's why they don't want you calling busse's number with swamprat or Scaryard questions.

yeah that's why I haven't got with them yet...

that and the whole talon hole issue, though I don't really mind the talon holes on the larger knives. I think you could replace the "trigger" with a talon hole without changing the ergos much as long as you kept the choil the same size

and the swamprat custom shop won't be able to get the INFI..
