Can someone help me (pic request)

mmcc100 · Jul 13, 2012

I am not new, but kind of inexperienced with Busse's line up. I have an SAR8 and have owned an SAR3, a BAD, and a couple of Scrapyards. I have been searching for an SAR3 forever and always end up missing the one I want (all I want is satin with black paper). Well, I came across a few others that caught my eye along the same size. Explain the difference between these (any size reference pics would be greatly appreciated):

I know the size of an SAR3, so we can use those for size reference.
1. CABS
2. LCABS (are these two the same?)
3. Boss Street
4. Mean Street (not the leaner meaner that looks similar to the BAD)
5. Any others that are around the same size as the SAR3

If it's what I'm thinking, the LCABS might be right up my alley. I missed a couple for sale recently because I was unsure if that was what I wanted.
Also, which one you prefer (opinions) would be appreciated.

Here is my Mean Street, did you mean the old school mean street? The CABS series are amazing knives, they are super thin which makes them awesome in my book. I was able to hold one that a MADE HOG owns and I was in awe at how perfect it is, black paper scales with satin finish = BACON :thumbup:
My meaner is .22 I believe, I almost cracked a dinner plate trying to cut an onion once, it's a BEAST for it's size.

Good luck on your quest for your grail....keep watching the exchange and you will score soon enough.

Thanks guys! That is exactly what I'm looking for. The CABS is much bigger than what I was thinking (compared to the SAR3).

That's a Meaner Street, it has the AD style handle. Not to be confused with a Mean Street.

To further confuse the piglets, there was a Lean Mean Street, and more recently a Leaner Meaner Street. Then there's your tweeners... (not an official name )

CABS = Choilles Anorexic BOSS Street

LCABS = Large Choil Anorexic BOSS Street

SCABS = Small Choil....

The Game Warden is about SAR3 size, with a smaller handle. Note that the GW came in many flavors and thicknesses, from useful (0.14") up to just stupid fat. Ask about thickness before you buy.

Thanks! I think maybe the SAR3 (just in the color configuration I want) is the size I'm looking for. I love my SAR8. I don't see why it doesn't get more love.
