So, I've been hanging around this forum for about 6 months now. When I joined up I had no idea I'd be spending so much damned time or money in this. I'm glad to have been here, though, and I've met a lot of great people, gained a great trove of information and seen (and bought) some fantastic knives. Got two packages today, and they were full of firsts:

First sheath by Dwayne Pucket, First sheath by Buy Brown, first Busse-related product from the Idaho gang (Mashed Cat), first knife modded by Ban, and the big one...FIRST SABRE-GROUND SFNO!!!

Without further ado...here are the pictures:

My Busse fam, minus the TigerWarden I'm hoping to get back before this weekend.

The Outlaws. Sabre-ground satin/tiger CG with a stupid sharp banned edge, and a one-off Desert Ironwood Clip Variant.

Bad shot of a beautiful Banned blade. Gotta clean her, but I LOVE those Tiger mags.

Last shot of my Banned sabre-ground NO. Think I'll call it Jesse James. :cool::D:thumbup:

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who have helped educate me, or helped me to get the knives I've wanted. You all know who you are. I'm sure my collection will continue to grow, and I'm sure I'll continue to hunt the rest of those elusive S/T knives. Maybe I'll catch Guyon. :thumbup::D
 
you've done extremely well for yourself.....some very nice blades indeed.....


my favorite is definitely the FBMLE.....truly an intstant classic....


but, everyone needs an ASH in their collection....
 
Thanks fellas. New...I remember when you got your FBMLE...man you went on a pic rampage. :D:thumbup: INFI is definitely addictive. :eek:
 
Looks like you need to open up that sheath a little for the D-Guard. Looks nice, great collection...keep em' coming!:thumbup:
 
I gotta say that the Sabre NO with the mags feels fantastic. Definitely my main user. It has the right heft, and the slabs are just right.

As for that Steelnut kydex, it is VERY VERY VERY tight. There's obviously some variance between these knives when they come out of the shop. he said he used #14, and mine is #55. Mine is obviously a bit thicker, so GentleBen and I are gonna try to rework it this weekend with his heat gun.
 
I can't really take credit for modding the knife. Most of the work was done by the previous owners who put on a very nice and usable hand satin. All I did was put a convex edge on it and reattach the handles :o Oh and also polish out the spine and radius the exposed edges :D

That Saber Grind SFNO is a keeper!
 
Nice family of INFI. :thumbup::cool:

I've got to get one of those FBM LE drop leg sheaths.
 
F'in gorgeous collection, brother. Can't wait to abuse them in a most heinous manner this weekend.
 
Very impressive, young Piglet!

You have joined the hoary and harried ranks of the Saber Grind SFNO Owners (SGSO or Sigso)! :thumbup::D;) Expensive, ain't it?? :eek:

Do NOT try to 'catch' Guyon. :eek: He has too much of a head start and, really, very little self-control. :)

Might as well try to catch Jaxx, or Lunde, or Skunk, or ... I don't know ... Knife Hunter. :D:D

Instead, just have fun with that addiction. :thumbup:

Click to expand...

I was just referring to the satin/tiger stuff. :thumbup: No way I can catch him on the other stuff.
