I've been meaning to post up these pics since two weekends ago but midterms and life have kept me busy...

Between the Alaskaganzaaa, some lucky scores, and genuinely AWFUL budgeting skills, my collection of Busse & kin has blown up. Here's all the stuff that came into my life in a 1 week period. The sad reality is that I'll have to sell at least a couple to help get me through the next month or two, but for now, while they're still with me I'm loving them all as much as I can! And yeah, keep your eyes on the exchange as a couple of these will be there soon...

Busse & kin have me acting out like I'm a junkie all over again!

Some closer shots:

Warden & HACK:

RMD Variant & Bantang BT4 recurve (in A2 - not Busse, I know, but he really makes a great blade...):

Rodent 9 & freshly Banned SNFO LE (silly, stupid, scary, hair-splittingly sharp!):

And now the fixed-blade family shot. I figured I would take at least a couple pics of them altogether before I start selling off the ones I can bear to part with...of course the problem is at this point I can't bear to part with ANY of them:

And before I go, one more of my SFNO LE...I am so in love, I think she is going to replace TG as my primary camping/stomping around the woods blade:

At least INFI is healthier than getting loaded, right? ;-)


EDIT: eek! pics are tiny...I dunno what I did wrong....

I suspect your image hosting site resized the pics, especially if their original size was large. Been known to happen.
 
Fantastic investment!
I'm down to one Busse and since yer on a roll, can you get a fellow HOG another one? :)
 
Thanks for the kind words guys...

Thanks!

And yeah, INFIddiction hit me pretty bad...I originally hadn't planned to spend any money beyond my B10LE and Alkaskaganzaaa scores, but a late night {slightly hazy} ebay visit resulted in my scoring my SFNO LE and then it all went down hill after I gave in to that first "I-shouldn't-do-it" impulse. I literally couldn't NOT buy the rest of them. Honestly though, even if I now have to sell a few after just a couple weeks of ownership, I'm glad I gave in!


Lycosa-- I also am curious as to which ONE Busse you decided to keep? you only want me to get you one? I'm pretty sure I only know how to get them in sets of three ;-)


stjones--I had read the hype about Ban but was still pleasantly shocked by how sharp his edges come out...it was actually pretty cool of Ban- I had stopped by his shop the day I grabbed the BT4 (originally went there to check out a CGFBM...) and after checking out my SFNO, out of the blue he simply offered to "touch up the edge"! Knowing that he doesn't work on anything but his own knives anymore I didn't hesitate to tell him YES! Makes me think he must have really dug the SFNO design or is a genuinely nice guy or maybe both!
