Inficoots are pretty rare and sell at more of a premium than the SS4. I find I especially like the micarta handles on a smaller knife though it does make the smaller knife somewhat larger. Having both a Res-C HR and micarta HRLM I can tell you I prefer the micarta handle on the same knife blade. This I think is largely a personal preference consideration. As to the resale value of the SS4 versus the BATAC I don't agree with your analysis. Given the relative scarcity of the SS4s, they have risen in value very little since it was introduced. Mint SS4s shipped to a US address are going for as little as $25 over the orginal purchase and shipped price. The BATAC being the low end of the high end of the more popular BC line will likely do better in the long term but I didn't get the impression that PoP was buying for a collection versus purchasing a user. So our speculation is probably just an academic exercise <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> F5 like you mean it!

Do we think that will be the famous Busse two weeks or will it really be here then?? It will be very nice to have both Dan and Jerry INFI!

The INFI that was used on the SS4 is Jerry's INFI...there is no other Although you would think that I sould own some portion of it considering the amount JW Blue it took to get my hands on it. Just thinking about that night of negotiation reminds me of the hangover I had the next morning. I went to all ends to pull that one off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Dan

Is it pronounced IN-FE or IN-FI? How did the name come about? Is it an acronym, or does it stand for something? Is it because it’s INFInitely better than all other steels, or what? JYD #4

Phonetically it is IN-FEE. As far as the naming, you would need to ask Jerry Dan
