Greetings All.

I'm a lurker and occasional poster. I realize that I should have introduced myself first, before posting, but I couldn't find anywhere to do it, even after searching the site, so...

My name is Steve, I'm retired from 7th Special Forces Group, and I'm currently working as a security contractor in support of the GWOT. I've been a knife guy for a long time. I appreciate a well designed, well made, solid knife, so Busses have called to me for quite a while. I met Jerry and bought my first Busse at a gun show in Fayetteville, NC in the early to mid '90s. I've can't remember the year.The knife I bought didn't have a name, it's about 8" overall with a 550 cord-wrapped handle. I have it stored away right now, but I plan to pull it out when I get home next month so I can post a pic to find out some more about it from you experts. I treated myself to a Battle Mistress last month, and I can't wait to get home and get my hands on it. After looking over the forum, I think my next purchase will be a Skinny ASH, but that's down the road a ways. I look forward to expanding my Busse knowledge and getting answers to questions that keep coming to my mind.
 
Welcome and be careful... Many folks in here used to think a $100.00 Spyderco was a fortune to spend on a knife!
 
Hello and welcome, Steve!! Looking forward to seeing this early Busse, and pix of you using that Battle Mistress when you get back! :)
Feel free to post those questions and we'll do our best to get you some answers. If we haven't been drinking too much, some of them might even be right!! ;) :D:D

Thank you for your service, and stay safe, brother. :thumbup:

Edited to add: You might find a pic of your early Busse, or of one similar to it on Bad Mojo, which is a Busse model archive of sorts. Lots of good pix in there.

Greetings and welcome to BF and the Busse forum.:) I am sure you will enjoy yourself here. Please post pics of your knives when you have a chance. I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing your old one from the '90's.
Be safe and take it easy there.............

Greetings Steve, its good to have another friend from Fayetteville NC here. I am jealous of your Busse collection. I only heard of Busses knives for a little over a year now and ever since I have been impressed by the stories of function and dependability. Although I haven't purchased a Busses yet I plan to when another large knife is released. Anyways Welcome to the forum Steve I look forward to reading your next post and hearing your input. Sorry for the bad grammar I was trying to type this in my phone.
 
Welcome to the forum. That cord wrapped busse sounds awesome! can't wait to see it. Also, thank you for your service. :)
 
Steve O. -- Hello and Welcome! And from an old VietNam veteran --- thanks for your service!;):thumbup:
 
Steve O., I think the cord wrapped Busse is a counterfeit job. Best send it to me for proper disposal. :D

Thanks for your continuing service!
 
Steve,

Good to see you here. I'm looking forward to seeing your early Busse blade as well. :cool:

Thanks for your service, stay safe, and we're glad to have you here! :thumbup:

Jerry :D
