Do you have a favorite child? No? 
Give one of your sons more attention than the others? No?
Love one of your daughters more than the others? No?
I didn't think so....me neither!
Yet that's how I feel when someone posts up a "What's your favorite Busse?" thread--
But we know the idea behind those threads... it's all GOOD...NO REGRETS! :thumbup::thumbup:
So let's shine some limelight on the HG55!
It's a Busse model that's quite a bit different from anything else in the Busse Combat lineup-- it's pointy, low profile, has a blocky handle , yet ergonomic, it has a unique talon guard, and who can overlook those vertical CBT's...oh.....sooooo....SEXY!
It's a charter member of the BOSS series and it's underappreciated <IMHO> except by those who own and use them!
Post up your Hog Grade 55 LUV!!!
Bombproof, large CBT, small CBT, no CBT, coated, comp., LE or Custom Shop....JUST POST 'EM !!!
I'll kick things off with a <kinda> rare look behind the scenes as I go thru the process of modding my HG55:
here the tubes have already been drilled out, brass barrels tapped, torx fasteners logos sanded off and heat anodized to match the handles better, note: the rear most rectangle was where I was gonna cut out to lighten the tang before I thought better of it <actually you HOGS convinced me, thanks!> :
close ups of the notations on the backside of the handles and on the tang that haven't seen the light of day for a while :
obverse side pic:
edge reprofiled to about 30 degrees inclusive, have yet to put a 40 deg. microbevel on it at this point, but that's next after stripping!
all together now!
Petey's Priority Tactical Cardboard <PPTC> ... actually it's a mockup for my kydex taco!
One Hog Grade taco to go!
