Busse fans' favourite folder?

till we get an INFI folder, I like the company that first made things sharp, then made sharp things :cool:...

in field carry: Spyderco Cruwear Finish Natch w/ Canvas Mic. Anso handles & Ti standoffs, Spyderco Manix 2 Etched & tumbled w/ organic work on clip backspacer & G10

Sunday & Sheeple carry:

Ti Dam Delica with Anso-like grooves & filed backspring, ZDP189 Manbug, Pic Bone Kiwi, Stock Des Horn polished Mic. handles ( an underrated gent's folder, IMHO ) ...

I love all sorts. I generally carry a Sebenza 21 or a Strider SnG DGG. Sometimes I'll carry a Microtech Ultratech or Spyderco Para2 also. I just parted with a Hinderer Eklipse to fund the Busse but I loved the quality and plan to get an XM at the end of this year or beginning of 2016.
 
Lionsteel TM1 carbon fibre. It's as close to a folding busse as you're gonna get at the moment. Sliepner steel (not as tough as infi but pretty damn tough, decent edge holding too, on a par with s30v in my experience) carbon fibre handles, reverse tanto...and dat Italian design...MAMMA MIA!! The guy who designed it (Molletta) is a reborn Leonardo Da Vinci.

If there was one collaboration I would love to see in the knife world, it would be a Molletta designed Busse Combat knife. Perfection. The very best of European flair and American muscle, the way the world goddam should be.
 
EDC an Alias II prototype from 2005. The Bradley guys gave it (well, sold it) to me at Blade '05. Don't see the proto's too often....

Very office friendly.

Out'n'about, either AFCK or Ultratech 85.
 
Here's my current 4 rotation





A Kingdom Armory would be cool, or a Skinner Hinderer, same with a Medford 187-F, but other things lately so knives have taken a toll.

The Umnumzaan is a hell of a slicer and has a great feel. The Dua is a good bang for the buck all Ti beater. The Spanto is great for chopping and prying staples :)
 
^Pffff no love for the tenacious you stole for $20 delivered? Tell me it doesnt cut better then all 4 of those? : p


Love the 0452 so much that I just pulled the trigger on the 0450. $65 in ebay bucks made it hard not to justify, sorry hunny : p

I carry a SAK manager on my keys. Legal in the UK. I also have a mini-leatherman in my Bergan for hot lids/pots when cooking. Again legal here.

There are a couple of Spyderco UKPK's which float about between the car and the house and larger SAK's and Leatherman Juice models do similar duty.

If I am working abroad and need to carry a knife for more serious reasons - this is it.

That's a beautiful knife, but do you seriously travel with that? I spend a lot of time in Africa, and I don't want to put anything nice in my checked luggage.

I still have that, the Dragonfly, Rescue, Swick, and the whatever tool with the bottle opener.

It cuts fine, but I just carry then when I travel and I don't want to fly with my expensive knives.

How does that Paramilitary do that I went edge to edge with my Hinderer with? :)

The knife goes into a drag bag inside a custom extra long "Pelican" Rifle Case which is triple padlocked and has the foam removed to take the drag bag with all the "kit" in the pockets. The rifle in the "Peli" is examined by Customs and once signed off the case is sealed with "firearms" tape and hand delivered to the plane "hold". It leaves the plane the same way. So far they have never lost the rifle and the knife is as safe as it is.:thumbup:
 
I just got a Medford 187 DPT, it is built like a tank, over built like my Busse.

I also carry a large Sebenza 21 and I like to carry an auto at times, I find that my Microtech Ultratech makes a great EDC


BTW: the medford also carries a lifetime guarantee
 
Update.
I'm back with a Mission MPF Ti. This is some folder.
I spoke with a gentleman at Mission today and he reminded me that Mission uses it's own proprietary Titanium.
A Busse AMS and an MPF, I'm set.

Spyderco Military S30v. Sweet knife, I felt it was too big for months. Then started to use it at work and now it's my edc.
