I have a Busse BATAC LE coming in this weekend (hopefully) and I can't wait! Can someone tell me how wanted these are? I am new to Busse and need a bit of your expert guidance.

I will post pictures when it arrives. I can't wait!
 
Its a good knife. To tell you the truth its not rare, but still a awesome camp/ hunting knife. Congrats!
 
It is a very tough knife! When you hold it you realise just what having an unbreakable knife is all about! It is a nice size as well for the performance it can give!
 
Luckily, I am not aquiring it for collection purposes and plan to use it hard. BTW, I am getting #5.
 
Its a nice knife, there are quite a few floating around out there, but they are very nice none the less.:thumbup:

I just wish I had the money for a sheath and strop. What with school starting in a few months and a new custom, I don't know how I'll be able to afford it. Would anyone be willing to donate to me? It would be greatly appreciated.
 
Nice first Busse. That is one I have wanted from the start. I would go with the CG version, for $ sake, but it has a saber grind instead of flat. I really wish they were the same, one coated and the other LE, but no they have to have different grinds too.

As for a sheath. You could get one of these and mod it for your-self, but I do not think it would do an LE justice. http://shop.scrapyardknives.com/product.sc?categoryId=1&productId=32
 
You just afforded a $400+ knife and you're asking for a freebie sheath? :p

The sheath in the above pics can be found for $35 or so. Spec-Ops small Combat Master.
 
Nice score!:thumbup::thumbup:
They are not rare yet because they are fairly recent production.

I am asking for a freebie sheath BECAUSE I afforded a $400+ knife. :D

Strop? Get an old leather belt. That's what I started with and mostly still use! I've never bought a strop.
 
And for a sheath, make your own! This was made from a laptop bag with a 'phone pouch, and some stiff plastic I found for liners.

Congrats!!:thumbup: Getting your first Busse is a great feeling, but sadly it leads to a downward spiraling addiction:p But damn what a rush it is!! How Jerry is able to convert crack into steel, well it's a modern day mystery.

My theory is he either rediscovered the Damascus secret, or he is using WeaponX adamantium.:confused:
 
Nice 1st Busse!!!

Go to a leather store and get a strip of leather for a strop, should be able to get that for a few bucks. Glue it to a small wood board and you have a nice strop.
 
Here's by baby with pants :D

3rd Busse I ever bought and probably in the top 5 of my favourites
