now that's fast.
...I ordered mine without choil, but I feel, I'll need one with it, too...:foot:
 
This is a great knife. It feels a lot like my original RMD. Same handle feel with slight palm swell, and a slightly longer blade. Its very quick and nimble. Its barely blade heavy, but it doesn't pull your wrist down like the big bellied SAR6 I just bought. Its balanced well. It feels like you can whip it around without the weight of the blade really over-pulling in any direction. Definitely a cross between a fighter and a light weight camper (not light duty, definitely robust).


Now... do I strip it right away? I find coatings on a Busse a bit like air bags on a bull dozier.
 
Those are both sick! :thumbup::thumbup: I can't decide which to go for - I'm leaning toward the LE but it's really hard to ignore th CG at that price (especially with the positive report regarding the edge). Decisions, decisions.

I'm gonna strip and polish mine to an acceptable ghetto satin finish. Plus there are Busse fans who could do a pro satin job for me down the line for less than what the LE would have cost me. It was a no brainer for me.

I'm with you bro - really tough call.

I was all for LEs until the MUK was offered and I ordered two.

I think I'm going to wait for some more pics to push me over the LE edge :rolleyes:

Go for the LE. Thin is in and these should be unbelievable. I have a SJ that is .19 and it is ideal. :thumbup::cool:
 
Nice Pumpkin :thumbup:


Just unwrapped my LE. Wow, does this feel good in hand :D

Very cool! Great handle choice as well. That just screams to be used. :thumbup::cool: I like the "Custom" on the back side as well.
 
My wonderful wife went to the PO and picked my package up for me. LE #12 with orange and black G-10. Beautiful.

That's what's swaying me in that direction - my CABS quickly became not just one of my absolute favorite fixed blades but one of my absolute favorite knives, period. I'm thinking a choil-less LE in black paper would make a pretty nice set...;)

hog feet,,post a picture of that blk paper beauty!! would love to see it..

Same here - that just might push me over the edge.:D
 
forager, may I trouble you for a side view to see the slabs' thickness in relation to the spine/tang? ...I've been wondering about the issue of thickness, myself. :)

BTW, You just made me really happy with these pix, thanxx! ...I ordered BCM for my user designated #27's and I like how this looks! :thumbup:

Sorry for the crappy pic. I'm going to try for some better shots tomorrow.

Here's your spine shot Jaxx

I was late.
Just ordered my Jack LE today...shipping in 6 weeks, but I'll have my tax refund by then!

Those look like some sweet blades.

How does the BJ handle compared to the SJTAC?
