I bought my first, a Jungle Defender off the exchange in February 2004 from Porkducci.

Well here is my first, second, third lol
The Sarge 7 was bought first from company store.
The TGLB tanker with black g10 was almost same time, but ordered direct. So it landed 2nd if I remember correctly.
Third was the other TGLB
This is an old pic but yes I still have them

2007 I picked up a fbm and couple dogs. Sadly I sold them but that is the beauty of busse. It's never a big loss in resale.
But I am restocking now, the oldest is the 1111 and 1311

Bought a user 511 off the Exchange to see what all the fuss was about. We all know how that story ends.

Still got it, and still one of my favourites.

Wild patina. Is that from cutting up starfruit?

To keep it mysterious I could say I found it that way after stripping the paint away on the day my wife got her citizenship
But in actuality I scratched the star, fuller and spine pattern through the paint, electro etched it into the steel underneath and used AC to darken the lines and then stripped it.
But with stripping, the scale appeared under the paint and sanding it off destroyed some dark in the lines of the pattern.
Got a nice satin finish though.
After cutting a few fruits and vegetables like Jack-O-Lanterns it's now developing a patina.

This is the one that started my addiction back in April of this year. Scored it from knife center. It's been down hill since.

 

[ExtraBaconPlease]

I don't have my first as I have been buying and selling, trying a lot of different models so I will just post my favourite instead.

My first as acquired back in 2009, she's never gonna be a safe queen, life's too short to not be lived in pursuit of happiness!

At first I thought you had hammered it into concrete or a road :-O

 

[Teyler79]

My first and most loved!😍
Bought it late 2015 for a great price!
This is the most fantastic knife ever!
NOTHING i have tried before cuts like this!
I have beat on this like its no tomorrow! And it just keeps cutting!

For a 4 inch blade this knife got some unbelivable performance!

Nice! We all can do one Busse... one here, one there, one in this hand and one more on order! It's all just one!
