Who am I kidding??? I can’t stop trying to solve a good riddle for the life of me now...
What if this spelled the end of INFI? OpeRATion eRATication could possibly mean that INFI was being eradicated, with only Busse Battle Grade SR-101 offerings from this point forward. Swamp Rat and Scrap Yard would also get their share of SR-101 offerings.
Standardizing on one steel makes a lot of sense. The price for all knives leaving the shop would be significantly cheaper, perhaps even half the price... yet have most of the performance of INFI. This I am sure would allow Busse to reach an even larger share of the market while still having extreme high quality products.
If this were the case, it would explain Jerry’s prior remarks about wishing he could prepare us for what’s coming. This would be something nobody could be prepared for, as I am sure many here would consider it to be heresy. I for one would be all for this sort of change, assuming bare SR-101 was an option of course... have I mentioned I don’t like coatings?
