"""TALIWHACKER – only busse knife to use rs101"""

Correction,,..,,, that should be SR-101 :D

no hard feelings Seth,,,goodjob :cool:
 
I haven't forgotten about this project.

I took Josh's compilation, and am going through it and adding a few things to his extensive work.

Should be up before Xmas...
 
The latest and greatest acronym is HOG . . . . Heavy Ordnance Grade :eek:

Who knew? :confused: . . . I mean other than me? ;)
 
i knew, i knew about hogs and hogging....

snort.... (breathing in through nose while fluttering upper nasel palet)
 
added ud, jd, hog, and some johnnie walker stuff :D

im trying to stay away from repeating names, such as the the cpjaba - wich is technically cp, ja, and ba combined, wich were all listed previously. ud and jd being seperate from that catagory, and being slightly different from the orignal, required their own slot.

thanks for postin them :D:D:D

in regards to the urban defenders - did they have the same hollow main grind as the jungle defenders, or were they standard public defenders with the urban camo coating?
 
the "swag backed" one still gets me... somethin about that style that just screams " I AM BADASS. BEHOLD MY AWESOMENESS " whenever i see it on a busse blade... and its a crazy rememberable (???) name too....
