Got my first Busse.

[Mitch Crockett]

I'm happy with the forum, check it everyday to see what's up.
Kinda burned all my toy money at once though for a little while, coupled with the fact both my jobs are in slow season I've gotta go easy on the spending for now.
The list on my collection is the bgfbm, swamp rat infi those are the two Busse blades and I got something in the works comming from Dulo and a benchmade superfreek.
The way I went about this is when I decided to get nicer knives I figured I should get more familiar to working with knives, so I got a bk2 as a Guinea pig.
Next step is a glass stone and my final objective is to forge my own steel.
I dont want to open up a shop or anything it's just something I've always wanted to do.
Make one of my own.

This.
Very well said, Kenneth!

Another tip:
Be an active but polite, complimentary, giving-type on the forum. Develop relationships through a few purchases and be a great buyer. Return solids. Chat privately once in a while with some of these great knife aficionados. You will find that these folks are the most generous around and really want to help you share in the Busse experience. If fortune finds you, you will be offered what you seek at really, really fair prices. Sometimes these good folks will even ask you what you are looking for and then hook you up. Return the favor.

I truly hope I am living here online in accord with this ethos.

Welcome to the madness and a terrific community!
