i think i saw the comp blades for about $287
Darn, that was what Hell Razors were new when they were the production model. I was hoping the Comp finish would make them more affordable.

I guess Jerry decided that the effort to put a worthwhile edge on the knife was about equal to the price/cost of spraying gunk on the blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
The Mud Razors were $247.00!!!!! - I would MUCH rather have a Mud Razor at $247.00 AND without CBT. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> - Those CBT lines don't look very good to me and are probably a NIGHTMARE to make look decent when stripped.
I was hoping to score a decent deal/price closer to $247 on some variation of a Razor to hopefully "even" trade for a Mud Razor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
But, I waited to the last minute and didn't arrange proxy properly in advance.
But, Jerry didn't post prices in advance, so I had no idea what to expect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Plus, when the show is spread over 3 days and knives are released at unknown times over 3 days, it is hard for people who attend the show to even get what they want, let alone trying to arrange proxy purchases. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I hope Jerry releases some SARSquatches at competitive prices and I would love to see another run of Mud Razors at $247.00 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I agree. I am severly disappointed about that price point. I would have liked to see the Competition Hell Razors in the lower $200 zone.
Well with Chopweilers selling at and slightly above $200, I wouldn't expect 6.5" - 7.5" bladed Busse/INFI knives too close to $200.
But, I WAS "hoping" for around $247 or so. And out of impulse, I would have agreed to $267 or so if I could have worked out a proxy. But, I couldn't work out a proxy arrangement in time.
Even at $247, if you pay tax and have to pay shipping, you start getting to around $280 or so. $267 starts getting close to $300 to your door. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
..... They ARE "Ugly". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> - Even Jerry says so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I still don't like CBT. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
I was hoping to use a decent priced Comp grade HR to trade for a non-CBT Mud Razor.
Any way you slice it, for me personally, I would have to clean mine up and still put a lot of finish out project work into it anyway including removing and re-attaching scales to satin finish the blade properly and do it right (competition or coated blade). So, I can't justify paying "Too" much if I feel I need to do so much to "Finish" it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
And I already have a highly modified/customized SJTAC that I love.
If Jerry does a Miniganzaaa with some $247 Mud Razors again, I am interested. Otherwise..... I am not so sure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Of course the "Dream" solution would be to be able to buy all of my knives from Busse with satin finish at reasonable prices.
A "Factory" satin Mud Razor for $247.00 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
I still can't understand how most every other knife-maker including Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat can sell properly satin finished blades for reasonable prices. But, a decent satin finished piece of INFI goes for about $200++++ over an already expensive CG piece of INFI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
