Northern1, let me break it down for you......

Not sure where you got your numbers but the SS got a lot of attention, its not the most poular Busse, but its not the worst.
So the "scrap theory" is all lies?
The military over runs are left overs from special orders by military units, whats so hard to believe about that? I've done work with several of these.
So its a marketing ploy, Neither Jerry or Dan need to lie to get knives sold, and thats where I have a problem with your attitude.
So they lied about the bet too huh?

Now I hope you see where I have a problem.

Hey bld, I'm not gone, just sitting in the shadows. I've been in the Busse game for a very long time and I tend to get burned out quick dealing with those who disrespect Jerry and his work, this encompasses all his endeavors from Busse Combat to the Swamp and the Scrap Yard. I've met the man face to face at the time right before the Yard was born, got to talk a lot about it, I even know what it was to be named before it became the yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have a huge amount of respect for Jerry, especially after our 4 hour talk and getting thrown out of the Red Lobster an hour after closing time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> His passion for knives equals my own with leather wich is close to what i have for his knives.

This kind of passion gets me in some hot water at times, read the "cranky old leatherbender" in my title on BF and Rat Chat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I just want the mutual respect between the Swamp and Busse Combat to be the same here as well, it all comes from the same place after all.
