I never heard of him till a few years ago

there well built knives

some of these hogs been following him since then and collecting them for many years

Well, we will have our answer later. I post the question in the Ask Andy thread. That guy is AMAZING. He's extremely helpful as well, always willing to help someone out.

what question did u ask him?

When did Jerry FIRST go national with Busse Combat knives.

I read on a site busse knives started in 1992

I've heard of stories from from early 2000 when economy was better off and Busse was selling like hotcakes at BLADE show. Guys would be holding signs that says "I'll take it", didn't matter the knife, as long as it was a Busse, they hold up the sign. I can't remember who it was, but one of the hardcore HOGS bought multiple cases (supposedly +$10,000) of the knife just to get a few rare bone scales that were to be sold randomly.

For me, the years just seem to all roll together and I have a hard time keeping them straight. Now my wife, she can remember who what when where and why.

thats crazy, but i believe some of those guys spending that much money, i was at blade last year and seen some guys spending some mad money

Can you imagine a budget like that just for knives! Where's Bill Gates when you really need him! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

they spend some mad money there, a lot of them sell a lot of them on blade forums exchange too
