Hg55

[fielder]

Hi, I recently bought a Hg55 and love it. I can't do pictures sorry, but I guess it is a small bowie. I have a question - sorry if this has been asked before, but what does HG stand for?

The HG stands for "Hog Grade":thumbup: Congrats on your new blade

Cool! Thanks Pokey! I'm curious what the 55 stands for? I sure love my HOG GRADE 55!

haha...and all this time I thought it meant "hollow grind"....live & learn...thanks Pokester!

Thank you Pokey. I'm thrilled with it. I knew it couldn't be hollow grind because mine is flat ground without the ridges. I knew 55 referred to the blade length.
This is an addictive and expensive pastime. So far I have a BWM, a Boss Jack, Boss Street, Cultellus and now the HG55. All are users, and I love them all.

Ha! I should have thought a little longer on that question, thanks!

That is an awesome collection you have started! If you get a chance to snap any pics while you are putting your blades to good use, make sure you post them! We love to see user pics :thumbup:

Billjoebobjim did you strip your hg55 or was it a comp finish model?
I love my hg55, it was my first busse

 

[bravodelta]

HG55 LE was my first Busse. I have bought several other HG55's sine then!!!

 

[Pokey1]

It sounds like the HG55 was a lot of people's "First's". Great blade to break you in!

HG55 is a sweet one. This is an old pic before I stripped mine. Man that was the toughest one to strip yet with two layers of coating on it. It's on my leg holster setup now.

I have a HG55 MO. It's one of my favorites.

Theses don't get much play on the forums.

Too focused as a fighter?

 

[fielder]

Maybe, but I think it is practical enough to have various uses. I certainly aren't a knife fighter and dont want a purely fighting knife. The HG55 has utilitarian purposes too.

Respect Tim,

That collection just keeps going and going. Spectacular.
