Who here has an active duty and what do you think of it? I might keep my eyes peeled for one in battle grade....

I like them enough that I bought several BG ADs to give as Christmas presents last year. For whatever that's worth.
 
If you can find a BAD...they are higher on the Rockwell scale. Around 62 I believe. The ultimate in terms of slicing & edge holding ability! If you tend to abuse your EDCs, a CG or BG will fit the bill perfectly. Personally, I love having a Busse that I DON'T actually abuse:p
 
The AD is a great knife---Utility,small camp or hunting knife.
Most guys that have them have more than one...Myself included.
The BAD's are as snwbrdr said excellent slicers & the highest Busse rating,62 on the Rockwell scale.
You won't be disappointed.
 
I love the design.
I've had two, both Bony Active Duties. Cutting machines.

Wish I still had them.

What Brendan said+++1:thumbup:
 
I know I've got more than one and still grabbed some battle grades :-)
 
I've just scored a BGAD from AZTimT and it's in transit now. I can't wait!! My first SR-101 :D

BTW what's the story behind the blade profile change from the leaf shape to the current one? I like both personally.
 
They are super awsome!!
Thats why i have four of them :)

I've got a rather large bunch.

I find the knife very desirable. Just the right size, shape, design to be rather "omni-useful."

I have a ridiculous selection of handle materials.:o

Stating only about the knives here...the awesome folks both on here & at Busse aside; I give credit to the Game Warden for drawing me in, but the Active Duty is my favorite small Busse and what kept me in. Any flavor. Any thickness. :thumbup:
 
The original Custom Shop Active Duty is my most-used Busse Blade. It is my favorite Busse for several reasons, not the least of which is the following story, for the newcomers:



The most special - a Bussy Custom Shop Active Duty.

This one requires background. My then 21 year old daughter Kimberly was lying in a nursing home in 2003, having just come out of a vegetative state from being struck in a hit and run in 2002. She was just becoming able to respond to things said to her. I had just received a new Active Duty, and took it to the nursing home to show her. As a child she had been my hunting and fishing buddy, an avid outdoorswoman. When I held the knife up in front of her, she reacted to it, smiling and giving a feeble thumbs up. Then and there I promised her that I would save it for her, for the time when she could hunt with me again.

I told this story on the Busse forum. About a week later a package arrived, containing another Active Duty, and a note from Jerry and Jennifer saying that their prayers and thoughts were with Kim, and that they were replacing the AD that I had promised to Kimberly. This is my Active Duty, a gift from the Busses, and it will never, ever be for sale. It being a superb little knife and one of the best Busse models ever made is just a bonus."
