Because of your post and your opinion (one of a few I respect) I did actually order my first Busse since the SFNO LEs.

You'll be happy you picked this one up, I bet. I snapped a few quick and dirty countertop comparison pics for you.

The CABS looks as though it's going to be a significantly heftier blade in hand.

But what makes a big difference in these knives is the blade.

Weight-wise, I have the CABS coming in less than half an ounce heavier than the LM (0.4175 oz. to be exact).

LCABS LE I just recieved is easily the best fit and finish of any Busse I have layed hands on. Love the polished rounded edges.

I do have to find those Ti-flask. THey are really nice, and shouldnt get nasty like some of my stainless has done in past. Can you store the alcohol in them, or do they need to be washed out after each use?

Backcountry.com dropped the price on that little 2.5 oz. flask recently: http://www.backcountry.com/backcountry-titanium-flask-2.5oz

Snow Peak makes four models. 3.7 oz., 5 oz., and 6 oz. hip flasks, and a round 6.7 oz. version that is popular. They're all pricey though, ranging from around $120 to $160. http://www.snowpeak.com/tableware/flasks-bottles.html

Here's what Snow Peak says about the Ti flasks:

Why do you need a titanium flask? Titanium is light in weight, stronger than steel and is also a metal with highly inert properties. The resulting benefits of this inert metal are: anti-corrosiveness, non-allergenic to nearly all people, and absent of metallic taste or odor. The Titanium flask is not only light enough for the most extreme ounce-counting mountaineer, but also will win the approval of the most snobby collector of Scotch.

Sounds like they're better suited for storage, though I don't know what really long term storage might do.

It looks like there is a lot of handle there. Maybe I could send it to GrindDucci for a butt grind. :cool: :thumbup:

A nice round butt is always a welcome asset. :thumbup:

This one feels pretty light and well balanced in hand--to the point that I wondered if there's any skeletonizing in the handle.
 
Numero uno was delivered today and I share your opinion of this knife Guyon. To all that are contemplating buying this, just do it. The pictures don't do it justice, it's a laser. :thumbup:
 
Awesome pics. The scenery looks familiar to me. Carter county, perhaps? I live in east tn myself, and we have hiking trails galore:D damn that is a nice ass knife. been meaning to try some infi steel. looks like that one would be the ticket.

Well the problem is that there were less than 20 LMS knives ever made. they were the thin ones. The standard ones are still hard to find but you will see one available from time to time. Then there are the tan slab MS or DWMS - just forget ever finding one of those!
 
My LCABS #12 arrived....:eek::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::cool:

Thanks to Guyon for the persistens:thumbup:

And thanks to busse for bringing a perfect hunter/skinner.
