As far as the Knives

AS far as Chopping-
I like the Biggest Siegle Hudson Bay the best-Carol liked the one right below the top one better(smaller grip)
As far as whitteling:
She LOVES her Blue handled Siegle EDC-but the Nessmuk fits my hand better.
Both of us really like the Busse DSSF as a Do everything type blade.Get one if you can.
She found the TOPS and the Siegle SAR 7 too heavy-while I really like them both(both are like TANKS-especially the Siegle as it's 5/16" thick but cuts GREAT)

Thanks Doc,
I like the Hudson Bay..thats a great looking knife!!!

 

[mcjhrobinson]

that busse DSSF looks awesome...wish i still had the dough for them!

 

[DennisStrickland]

nothing against busses but i do'nt like the black coating. my ferhman final judgment has the coating & i will only buy uncoated blades now. i think it increases friction.
dennis. the hudson sure is interesting.

Nice pics. Some cool knives for sure. The lake looks lower since your last pictures. Are you under a burn ban?

 

[CallsThunder]

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful dog. I have a GSD too.

p.s. I'm still going to send some pics of my Siegles as soon as I can.

 

[WILLIAM.M]

Thanks for the Nice comments about Zeus

Yes-lake is lower(not sure about the burn ban)

 

[pitdog]

This is a great pic !

The Busse DSSF is kinda totally opposite of what I usually like in a blade but for some reason I find myself really liking them !!!

I really like that Siegle Hudson Bay!!

Nice knives, but I really like the GS. They were the first dogs my parents got when I was a child. We had two, as they were never picked up from the airport my father worked at. We adopted them and after getting over my initial fear of them (I was 6 or 7) I absolutely loved em.

Actually, I think that Busse is one of the best looking design's I've seen from them in a long time. All function and nothing else. It would look great with the coating removed and polished up.

 

[WILLIAM.M]

Thanks for all the kind words about Zeus

He is as smart as he is handsome-if not more so

He is my 5th German Shepherd

I know how lucky I am to have weather like this in December(I was raised in Chicago)

I traded the Busse DSSF for another Siegle

Will post testing photos as well
