Just saw a website for these knives, they say they are the knife of the Dutch Commando's, (Special Forces) that has almost guarnteed me buying one, but before I do has anyone ever come across them before?

I was going to buy a Steel Heart, with the bent blade and probably still will, I just don't know which to do first!!!

I am familiar with Hill knives. Frans Vandenheuvel and son put out some beautiful pieces. Between Busse or the Hill dutch Commando, I'd pick neither and go with an HI, or GH Khukuri, or a Boker/Applegate/harsey smatchet, or hell, a Kris cutlery Gladius (Mwahahahahaha...)

I've handled Hill Knives military model and they are really first rate, top quality products. Excellent sheaths too.

I've never seen a Busse Custom knife but I have one of Busse's semii customs and I'd say the Hill knife is much better finished than the Busse and the Hill sheaths are way better than the (good quality) Kydex sheath that came with the Busse I have. THe Hill knives use ATS-34 steel and I haven't tested that against the Modi INFINI (sp?) steel Busse uses. In all fairness the Hill knife costs more that the Busse - methinks.

I've been wanting a Hill knife for a while but I always end up putting my knife money into tools or steel to make more knives. :-(

The Custom knives from Hill are also of the very best quality - and priced acccordingly too.

To sum up: Hill are very nice people who produce knives of the finest quality and design. Anything they make is gonna make you smile.

I don't know anything about their prices because I don't know what a DFL is or how hany American frogskins equal 170 of them. Can anybody help me out here? Anybody know how the Dutch commando model stacks up against a Fallkniven A-1?
