Hey guys, I'm really enjoying my time with you guys on this forum, and getting into Busse knives. As you know, I've settled on the SFNO as my fav Busse, and in particular, I think the SFNOLE is the best of the lot. Now that I've come to that conclusion, I'm thinking of paring down my stock of SFNOs. But not before putting the remaining ones together for a family picture and appreciating them as a lot. For those of you less familiar with SFNOs, I'll describe each one. These are the ones that remained in my collection after paring out a few, so each one in this group shot has something a little special. Great knife! And thanks for letting me share this hobby with you. Busse folks are GREAT! :thumbup:

You got some really beautiful collection there. I am all green in envy. :)
I also think that SFNO is one of the best busses.
 
Very nice set. :thumbup::cool: Now that my SFNO LE is here, I was planning on doing the same thing, the Outlaw collection. Maybe this weekend if the light is good.
 
You should add the NMSFNO to that collection while it's still in the store!

Thanks for the pics of that very nice set!
 
Very nice set
you've got all the SFNO grails together:thumbup:

one small niggle: the fatty should have the old school scales (maybe you can swap them from your satinized SFNO).

Here is a pic of the original old school scales on a fatty
