OK, so it's 'only' a BATAC, but I've not had a new Busse for a while so I'm drinking a scotch and posting pics to celebrate!


It's a black and snake...

Congrats on the new Busse and thanks for sharing.

The rum saved it then? I know I have been there before, keeping a blade minty, and after a little coercion from the Sailor Jerry's, deciding that there is no better option other than to break up a pallet...............

Its the best/worst decision ever! Let them all be users!!!
 
I am happy for you !! It's nice when one can become excited by these things others scoff at....the blood is thick here foxyrick . I also like the home grown edge on the sister, really clean !

Thanks folks!

The home grown edge on my tan BATAC is convex and slices like a razor - it was the first edge I reprofiled on a Busse.

Only problem is that I got the tan BATAC to match my mistress. Now I need a black snake mistress to match the new BATAC! Will it never end??? (I certainly hope not :D )
