BOSS Street vs. Meaner Street.

[Nikokurausu]

Do any of you own both of these and if so, can you give a comparison between them?

The Meaner Street is one of my favorite, if not the favorite, looking Busse design but I haven't owned one yet. As much as I like the Meaners though, the BOSS Street looks like it would serve all of the same purposes I'd use a Meaner for. And, I can pick up a BOSS for quite a bit less.

So, for those of you who have both or have owned both, how would you compare them to each other? What are the differences in feel in your opinion?

Thanks.

The meaner I had was a "tweener" - not quite as thick as the normal CG model, and not quite as thin as the "leaner". I think the tweener thickness is a pretty nice sweet spot - a good balance of toughness and slicing.

The BOSS Street, by comparison, is fairly thick for an EDC, so it feels a bit more clunky in hand. I like the BOSS Street's handle more - the simple straight lines of it are more versatile for a variety of grip positions. On the other hand, the balance of the meaner felt more appropriate for a small EDC.


I ended up getting rid of both of them and keeping my AD, but that's more down to personal preference than anything.

No VS here Broh! It's one OR the other, or both. Or, as many as you can afford.
Tough call. I lean towards the Meaner. My BATAC serves as a Boss Street.
