Welcome to the Yard, Jimmy. Seems like the word is out about the less expensive Busses. Even regular store offerings are getting to be like ganzas. This release was a bargain even for a Scrap Yard knife. Only the original Dumpster Mutt with the scrounged old small Busse basic handles was cheaper. I don't know of any other manufacturer who can heat treat S7 where it will hold an edge and still be tough as a jack hammer bit. These blades are darn near indestructable. I have other Mutts, but this one in double cut was jsut too good a bargain to pass up.
