Well DHL "Express" finally delivered -after four weeks- and filled in my five-knife straight (3-4-5-6-7 the 9 is a discard:foot:).

The Basic-4 is actually 4 inches of blade edge and is very cool. I may have another on the way so I can use one.:thumbup:

The second picture shows the B6 and 4 with more "common":p Busse models.

Thanks to the US and Euro HOGS & Piglets that helped me out.

Very nice Tony! Congrats!

I still can't get over how beautiful that AD is. :thumbup:
 
Awesome collection!

Congrats on putting all those together and thanks for sharing!
 
Your going to have to build an addition for that fat collection:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I didn't know that a B4 even existed! Very nice size and gotta love the clip point. :thumbup:

I'll take the discard. :D
 
the Dmutt has got me going crazy for Busse Basic handled blades...
you have a fine collection there Tony
 
I would say "nice collection", but you and I both know that isn't the half of it. So... nice partial Busse collection!

Thanks for all the kind comments. Finding the Basics I have so far has bee fun and I hope to find some different ones like maybe a factory satin or the like.

Also comments like on_the_edge's and steelnut's make me wonder what all the Busses I have would look like if I got them out. I have not done that in a long time, maybe I'll do that today since my work day went down the drain waiting for some documents that I have just been told are not going to show until tomorrow at 10:00.:grumpy:
 
Tony,
I would love to see a pic of your collection. However, and I won't mention names, experience has shown that when someone does something like that, they are usually bombarded with "hey, how much would you sell ____ for?" So I guess you assume a little risk in doing so, but again, I think many of us here would like to see what you have in your closet (keeping in mind of course that this is a G-rated family forum :D ).
 
Aaahhh -- exquisite!!

Those B7s look extremely useful as well as classic collectables.

I'll be looking forward to the 'full Monte' pictures... :D
 
That B6 is larger than I expected and, I assume, you're looking for another B6 as well as a B4 to get that collection all paired up. Well done, sir. Pete
 
NICE collection of Basics Tony !!!!!!!


That B-4 is really cool.



and thanks for sharing ;):D
 
Great set, I too really like the looks of the B4. Kinda like the pre-cursor for the original Satin Jack or CPDABA. Which is another knife I really like
 
Tony,

Well, it sort of looks like you are Basicly COVERED.

Maybe add a Factory Satin or two and a Serrated?

Is the next step "Extreme Basics"?

Well I'm not sure if there were any differences from one Basic 6 to another or Basic 4 to another.

The reason people will collect two of the 3, 5, 7, and 9 is that the crinkle and smooth coated knives are more different than just the finish.

Unfortunately I can’t find anyone that knows if the Basic 4 and 6 distributed in Europe had similar difference as the 3.5.7.9.
