Of course! This my favorite knife......period. As much as we all like the Busse hawg leg knives, the Mean Street is the perfect knife for resting on the truck seat, slipping in your briefcase or backpack, or packing on a trip out of town no matter where you are going. The blade length does not freak everyone out when you use it. I used mine to cut my sandwich today at work. If they were produced on a regular basis, I and surely many others would have a couple of them around.
Jerry, I would like to make an analogy comparing the Mean Street to the Harley Davidson Sportster... Make them, and if possible in a number of configurations, (Lean, Combat Grade, Satin..). Let them serve as the entry model Busse knife. Folks will buy them up, and once bitten, will purchase other knives. One only has to look at the other wild wide-eyed denizens of these forums, aka "Jerrys Kids" to look at the popularity of Busse knives, and the Mean Street specifically.
Mr Busse, please build it................and they will come.
Yours in thermonuclear Aloha,
