Busse v. Reeve

[wetdog1911]

I normally carry Busses for my fixed blade rotation. I carry nothing but Chris Reeve Sebenzas for my EDC folder rotation. Each fills its respective niche superbly. That said, I have a SRKW Camp Tramp in my truck just in case I need a large knife. I have used the Camp Tramp quite a bit and I have never found fault with it in any way. I have the new fusion Busse Natural Outlaw and for all around use, it may be the best yet. Great balance, good symetrical edge and tougher than nails. I just don't want to leave it in my truck for someone to "discover" after they smash a window to rob me blind. (Don't laugh, this just happened to my wife). You really can't go wrong with any of the Swamp Rat/Busse products, or any of Chris Reeve's knives either. Choose one that fits your hand and your intended use and never look back.

Couldn't agree more. Carry the Busse SHBA on the belt for the fixed and a Sebenza rides on the other side for the folder. Camp Tramp is in the work bag for cutting open rolls of printing paper, sometimes the Battle Rat. Like he said, pick the one that suits you the best and go with it. Hard to go wrong with either of these choices.

Yeah, we REALLY don't need a replay of that particular thread. It accomplished nothing but ill will.

Note as well that the Busse / and now Swamp Rat line covers a lot of different blades, which don't fall into the same catagories of use. The new D2 blades from Swamp Rat have little in common with some of the thicker Busse blades, especially some of the chunkier smaller ones out of 1/4"+ stock. You want to be specific about the blades being compared.
