Hey guys and gal, thanks for your comments..this is one of the best all around knives I have ever had...not sure if this is going to be a grail since INFI always asks for wood and hard work..so time will tell and Resinguy you know how a Busse addict thinks....brother we are quite predictable. ..I have two knives in the SPA at this moment, it has been a while but it is part of the excitement....and the next project/dream is an ABA satin finish with snake skin scales, hard to find but I have seen 1 or 2 in the exchange section in the last 2 years.
