A slim, elegant instrument of death...

At times on this forum I feel geographically handicapped living in Australia. I emailed Poorguy who was selling this mint HG55 with the hope that he would consider shipping to Aus. Needless to say he did and gave me a few good laughs on the way. See below after I emailed to say the HG had arrived:-

Top bloke! :thumbup::thumbup:

"Welcome to the addiction my friend!

Glad you like the knife, you really picked a cool one to make your first Busse. For what it's worth, I literally don't know anyone that bought one Busse and didn't get more soon after. Seriously, out of hundreds of knife acquaintances, they have all bought more. Prostitutes giving away handies and drugs get less repeat business.

BTW, be sure to tell your wife, just don't let her know how much it cost. If she's anything like my wife, she'll want a new purse or shoes every time you get a new knife. Come to think of it, Busse could double his sales by selling women's clothes, jewellery, handbags and shoes. Double the price of the knife and give away a pair of shoes and the wives will say yes every single time. :-)

Have fun and stay safe!"

Great score maaate! And yes, welcome to the addiction LOL. Where in Aus are ya from? My wife and family are from Newy :cool:
 
Hey Bro!

Australia ain't that far...on the computer...it's just a keyboard away...

If we go for enough back...my peoples are from Ireland....which means we may be cousins.

And this BUSSE crew is tight knit...no matter where you are on the globe...they keep you close!

The HG55 is my favorite smaller BUSSE! Nice grab!

Welcome fellow Aussie here and to the Busse obsession. There is a few of us here, just wait and see.
Great choice. Thinking of getting the MO version soon.
Good luck and take lots of pics when you use it, as the rule here is: pics or it didn't happen.
 
Outstanding tale and welcome to the madness Bro!!! Kinda like lays potato chips, can't have just one...
 
Nice blade, like all Busses your's looks like a piece of art (that can take a beating and just smile). Looking at my post count, I am also new but also addicted. Thanks for the pics, now I have to add another one to my wish list.
