Just experienced a renewed interest in things with sharp edges, and thought I'd buy a few new toys (oops, I mean "tools").
To the question. I have decided to purchase one or more Busse Basics (#5 & maybe a #9). While shopping around for prices, I see that 1sks has Busse Basics w/combo edge-only place I've seen that option.
Can anyone direct me to a picture or describe the serrations? Haven't been able to find one as of yet.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for a great forum-I've been checking it out for a couple of weeks, and it seems very friendly and informative.
Looking forward to owning a Busse or two. Maybe there's a BM in my future?!?!?
 
Thank you, Shawn. That link did work.
Looks like Mike does a great job on those serrations, I'm just not sure if I want them on a "field" knife. Wouldn't be using a #5 for a heavy chopper, though, so.......maybe.
Thanks.
 
So maybe yes.
I just ordered the #5 w/serrations and the kydex sheath Busse currently supplies them with (I think 1sks also has their own kydex sheath for it). Should be here Monday.
Maybe I'll wait a week or two and get a #9. Then nothing around here will be safe!!
 
Owen,
I think that you will like the #5. I have a #7 that I really like. I dont know what Busse I will get next, its so hard to choose! Busse it going to be comming out with a folder! I think that it will be bomb proof! Be sure and check out Andy Priscs's web site's. Click on them from his signature line and get an eye full of some AWESOME Busse's.

I saw those. There are several in the photo gallery that have me drooling, too. I can't imagine ever needing more knife than the #9, but some of those BM variants make my hands shake.
Actually started to get the #7, but wanted something a little shorter. One of my favorite camp knives is my Blackjack 1-7 Classic Hunter (7"), but the sheath gets in the way sometimes. I always wished I had bought one of the 5" versions of this knife, as it has served me well for about 6 years now. Funny, I've heard mixed reviews about the steel on these knives on the forum, but mine came scary sharp, and has always held an edge well. Never takes more than a few strokes to get shaving sharp again (I have actually shaved my face with it-skipped the neck though!).
....and my Busse should be even better

Been checking out some Lynn Griffith knives, too. Nice little blades-different category, though.
Hey, thanks again for that link. I knew I was going to order today, but would've done without the serrations, otherwise.

Owen,
Let us know how you like the #5 when you get it. I was glad to help.
