While there are many Busse knives that I would love to own, my dream blade would be chosen on practicality and usability in my hand.
Until recently, I actually had what I thought was the ideal knife, the Heavy Heart. I tried a Mistress and, while she impressed me, the HH always had the edge and seemed just about perfect. Then...
I missed out on the NMFSHLE ganza completely, I was avoiding the forums because I had no money and didn't even know the knife had been made.
The Santa Ganza teased me, but I still didn't have any money and I thought that my HH could not be bettered anyway. So, no NMFSHCG for me.
Since then however, I have seen the action shots and read all the good things about the NMFSH. How the balance is perfect (for how I would want it), the fine edge on a full flat grind, etc. I think that my HH has finally been bettered.
So, this is a truly heartfelt 'dream blade', because I know how easily I could have had one. My dream blade is a NMFSHLE, or even a double cut CG in black canvas would be just as good.
If the NMFSH had been sold in last night's ganza, I would likely have succumbed to temptation and arranged a second mortgage on my last remaining kidney to pay for the knife.
