But they aren't just any old company selling product. Jerry encourages and clearly enjoys the games - you could make a strong argument that a lot of the community and fanbase he's built around his knives and his company is due to those games. The theatrics of a ganzaa or the trough at BLADE are an integral part of the goal of the manufacturer selling knives, when the manufacturer is one that is as unique as Busse.


I'd still rather see the Dogs get first crack at the dogfathers, as well, but I understand and have even come to enjoy the insanity of the trough and hog treachery.

I do prefer the environment we have here at the Yard, where there's less competition and more supporting each other, which is why I'll always consider myself a Dog first, but those Hogs sure have a lot of fun doing things their way.

I'm hoping a Dog will get a chance at a few of the dogfathers in the ganzaa, and pass them along at cost to other members of the Yard, much like I did with the SOD I picked up at BLADE - and that's not me bragging about doing something nice, that's me remembering my own efforts to mimic the kindness and generosity I've seen displayed time and time again by the awesome brothers here in the Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
