I don’t think there is a single person here that does not know what my favourite Busse blade is (model because I have more than one of that model) but for many of us I am guessing there is often a difference between “favourite” as in like everything about it and would not ever want to be without one (at least 
) and the Busse that, because of circumstances, activity, convenience etc is the one that actually gets the “most use”.
Certainly for me this is the case. Not because MY FAVOURITE is not the best’est knife ever (any heathen that disagrees with me will be cursed by an old witch that lives in a gully near here and for a six pack of cheep beer and a splash of whisky she will cast a curse on any given Friday night)….but because another is perhaps more practical for everyday life.
For me that one that probably cuts something here almost every single day is the old Skeleton Key I rescued from an abusive home (I await the post from the former owner with baited breath now) and which has now travelled the world with me. I was sorting out some pics and realised that little blade had a bunch of frequent flyer points up. From memory….all but one state of Australia, New Zealand (twice) South Africa, the US, UK, Mozambique and probably somewhere I have forgotten. A coupe of months ago I had “misplaced it (as I was moving home temporarily) and that was the worst two days of my life When I rescued it it came with a kydex sheath that I actually wore out (more on this when the former own reads this) and now it resides in a new one !!
In the UK….
Last year after a touch up…..
