INFI tonnage

[chiseen]

How much INFI do you guys think Busse has used up from this world?

I would say about 1.5 tons.

 

[Chip]

I would say a few tons more then that

 

[Strabs]

Not enough

I can't venture much of a guess, but I do think 1.5 tons seems too low.

I don't know how many people are financially supported by the Busse shop, but I will conservatively guess >3 (Jerry, Jennifer, ?). If those 3+ people are going to live anywhere above the poverty line, then I think the shop must be producing a lot more than five knives per day.

Let's very conservatively estimate that the Busse shop makes 5 knives per day, at an average of 1 pound of INFI each (less than a SH or BM). At that rate, they'd go through 1.5 tons of INFI in well under two years.

The actual figure must be at least several times higher than 1.5 tons, or they'd have been driven out of business, by now.

Interesting Question, I have to admit this is one thing I've never considered before. It will be fun to watch this thread.

Kinda makes sense:
5 knives * 1 lb each * 5 days a week * 52 weeks = 1300 pounds a year

In two years that's 2,600 lbs!!

Not counting Hell's Hornet which takes up 2/3 of the allotted INFI in a year!

This is a little of the subject but I heard somewhere that Cold Steel has to buy 60 tons of what ever Carbon V is at a time or the mill won't sell to them.
