I really like these knives.......

[Solstice]

Something about Busse....ya know besides being the best fixed blades knives on the planet, and a core group of very cool people. Maybe it's the fun of using them, collecting them, searching/hunting/trading/selling them to find that one which is your Grail Busse, the "take it to the grave" Busse. Hell maybe it's all those things. I dunno, I just know I really like em....alot.

Everybody has their favorites, that one, two or three knives that you're always to trying to get more of or just get one of. We go through stages...find one think it's the "one" only to find out it's not and move onto the next Busse. I have that one I'll never sell, the "take it to the grave" Busse, but there are 3 Busses that I have a real fondness for and I think that's because I have never found their equal, let alone something better. Jerry may come out with something that will replace my Grail Busse (doubt it but maybe) but these 3 are perfect....yeah, a word I don't use very often...and I know that he'll never be able to best their pefection. They are the benchmark for EDC fixed blade knives....period! And, I finally found the one that has been eluding me for a long time...so here they are.

All originals: Meaner Street (my first Busse), a Leaner Meaner Street, and a Active Duty. All 3 in my favorite configuration for Busse EDC, double cut and snakeskin. I took the pictures with the slabs oiled and natural...I personally prefer the natural, shows off the colors more. Enjoy!

[xaman]

very nice brother, that's a difficult set to put together, congrats!

I like 'em natural too.

 

[steelnut]

Very nice snakes you have there:thumbup:

 

[resinguy]

Very nice. :thumbup: Which was the difficult one to track down?

 

[Ken44]

Great looking Blades Brian:thumbup:

Snake is my favorite on the EDC's also, but I prefer satin

And the Meaners are my favorite

 

[Ken44]

Very nice. :thumbup: Which was the difficult one to track down?

I'm betting it was the Leaner Guy. I can't find one in satin

 

[ktk]

Kenny, that's great collection. I love Meaners as well.

 

[JurT]

Brian, those are beautiful!

 

[knife hunter]

Solstice,


great taste man.


superb

 

[JGarrison Knives]

Nice looking sets and yes the old leaners are the hardest to find.

 

[Gerberblades]

I really like those knives too. Very nice set. Do ya wanna give me the AD and the saber ground Meaner?

 

[OldPhysics]

Those are also three of my favorites.

 

[Bigfattyt]

that is a nice line up all. I really started out disliking the meaners. I did not like the tail on the end, until I held a SS with the same tail and really liked it. Now I love the meaners. Still nee to get one, but a mid sized blade is more on the radar right now. mmmh, maybe like that BAIII, or a satin jack?

 

[Troy H]

I've been bitten by the double cut and snake bug as well.

Sweet knives, Solstice!! :thumbup:

 

[Mike Fitz]

Oh man, those are sweet! Still lovin' the Meaners, I've got number three on the way. Nothin' as nice as as a satin meaner! I'd like to find a nice satin sabre grind Meaner one of these days (that I can afford...)

 

[resinguy]

I'm betting it was the Leaner Guy. I can't find one in satin

Tony G has one. I just hope I'm higher on 'the list' than you.

 

[resinguy]

What is that? :thumbup:

 

[Ian Allomes]

A great choice of EDC’s there Solstice
If I had to make a choice it would be the AD.

But then I have a fetish with drop point hunters.
Ian.

Something about Busse....

I know what you mean. I just love them. For me they are the coolest knife on the planet, and most of that has to do with the people behind the scenes.....:thumbup:
