Gettin' the fever

[knucklestick]

Howdy, I've been lurking for a while and am finally picking up my first Busse off of the exchange. It hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already thinking about another one...

Can anyone give me some details about the mistresses? Do they all come with convex edges or is that something new? I am giving some serious thought into picking up an FFBM...

 

[fugawee]

Many people sharpen their knives and put a
convex edge on them. I believe it is the easiest to
do with common equipment everyone probably has or can get.
Sandpaper and something like a mousepad or chunk of leather.
It is very easy to maintain a convex edge by simply stropping
it on a leather strop after each use.

Did the Mistress's come with a converx edge?
I dont think any of the "regular" ones did,maybe the LE's
had a special grind though.

Anyway,First Busse is a FBM! CONGRATS!
Now go see a doctor before you become Inficted

Be careful with the Mistress...
It can be a slippery slope!

As far as I know, the only fully convexed mistresses were the NM FBMs (LEs, CGs, & Custom Shop) and now the Bushwacker CGs.

I don't think any of the Mistresses came from the shop with a convex edge...
Zero edge maybe... on the NMFBM LEs and the ZTBMs.

Good luck in your search... the FFBM is an AWESOME Mistress! :thumbup:

But my current favorite...

The first will be an NMSFNO. It isn't here yet and I'm trying to figure out a way to score a mistess.

Buy yeah, it's too late for the doc.

Looks like you've gone off the deep end.

Great choice IMO .
The MNSFNO was the first Busse I got in my hand.
I am a HUGE fan of it.
I know you'll love it . Congrats !!!

I think I'm gett'in it also,must be a virus going around. You know I did have eggs and sausage for breakfast. I've got a shle comming down the pike, and I'm already trying to figure out how to get a bm. Guess I'll have to sell a rifle or something.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I did have to convex the edge on my FBMLE. It was my first infi, I got it in trade.

Keep an eye on the exchange. They are pricey but once in hand, you'll likeky forget completely about the cost. I'm pretty sure it'll be love at first sight and you won't want to part with it....ever.

You may also consider the BWM, you can get one through BusseCombat and its gonna be a lot cheaper then any BM on the exchange.

And lil' Foo what da hell is that 7th from the right? Is that infi?

 

[wildmike]

Lil Foo! What model is that prototype?

 

[Barbarossa]

All Mistresses are great. Convex the fat ones and you're good to go! Lil' Foo has a collection of mistresses Tiger would be jealous of.

It's a survival saw Jerry ground out of a band saw blade.... he made it to go along with the WASP BM.

.

 

[Volk]

I find that very very cool.

You nave a great collection.

 

[Lil' Foo]

Lil Foo! What model is that prototype?

It's an FBM Recurve Proto... sometimes called the Recurve Bowie Proto.
From a ganza after fall knob creek show in 07.

I sent mine back to Busse for the red liners & hand shaped black canvas micarta...
and had the clip point pulled back some and flattened the false sharpeneded edge so I could use a baton on it. :thumbup:

They first showed up at Blade West in 07 IIRC.

Most look like this... and came in 5 different 2 tone G-10.

I had the mods done on the black & green handled one in the middle.

I like the BWM, but I don't think I'll be scroungin' up the money right away.
