Ban's good. And his work speaks for itself.
 
I'll cosign Ban, OP and PM as well. Good guys. Hell...I'll cosign pretty much every person on here. This place is full of class acts.

Well I’m going to get myself in trouble here but here is my opinion.

It is more likely that the HOG of the year does most of his qualifying work Sub Rosa –like say OP and Skunk do.

So I think whatever might happen here in a poll is meaningless.

You won't get yourself in trouble Tony...you'll probably be one that gets nominated:thumbup:. My one and only deal with you was outstanding. I understand your point...but I wouldn't say a poll is meaningless. A poll simply gives a chance for people to express the way they feel on a particular subject...in this case an outstanding HOG. ITrader in some ways could be considered a pole and I wouldn't say it's meaningless. Obviously it has meaning or people wouldn't take the time to do it. I could be wrong...but I think the primary basis for most people's vote would be their experience with a HOG outside the public exposure on BF - i.e. in person, PMs/e-mail and successful deals. I know there are a lot of HOGS who shine behind the scenes...but they certainly can and probably will be nominated. In your case, you should nominate OP and Skunk and there is not a doubt in my mind that they would get their fair share of votes in the poll.

I think it's a great idea to give credit where credit is due...there are way too many good people around here that deserve kudos who have helped move Busse to the next level.

Just my two cents...
 
Everyone knows that the HOG of the Year is Amy-0.

Every year.

Can we close this one now?
 
All the forum regulars are great!:thumbup: They treat all us new guys well, but OP and Morimotom sure stick out in my mind.

I'd have to agree, especially after meeting everyone in person at our "family reunion" in Atlanta! :thumbup: So many, many great Hogs and Hogettes...it would be hard to choose just one. :)
 
infobound1 gets my vote.

He's the only Hog i've met and a real stand up guy. Through him i've learned a lot about Busse and have gone from 1 to 10 Busses in my first year. As type this he has also agreed to be my proxy in tonights Ganzaa.

He's Top Hog for me.

Hey, I did kinda agree with him in the post under his.

So, can I be like #19 or something:confused:


Heck, if I'm not on the Bad list I'm happy:D
 
I think Knife Hunter should be HOG of the year even though he is still fairly new around here.
Great Guy ! funny as hell, hooks it up. and..............
his Blade 08 escapade speaks for itself.. :D

I think each year we should select a Hog of the year. The Winner should exemplify the following traits.

1. Enthusiasm for Busse products.
2. Generosity
3. Willingness to teach others
4. Skillful use of knives
5. Honesty and Integrity
6. Mastery at the trough
7. Never displays regret
8. Misc attributes ( exp modifications, sheath making etc)


I nominate Ban. He has a perfect track record in all these areas and is a HOG to be admired and emulated.

Interesting thread. there has been many nominations and all are really good, but like Tony said most of the best ones do a lot of the stuff out of the forum.

So as for nominating, I would say that there is really only a few hogs that display generosity to an extreme and IMO, the ones I would even consider worthy are:

TonyG
Oldphysics
Randucci
Skunk

These guys are all class acts :D

We already did that at Blade '08.

It was a Silent Knight. :D

Personally, I'm with The Boss. I nominate every single one of you crazy, addicted Hogs. :)
 
There are many who deserve it. I'd have to put Paddling Man close to the top of my nomination list. Skunk and Hammy too. There are some who don't post here anymore who were pretty selfless as well.
