Congratulations I can't see your pics but I remember the feeling of my first Rat, they are truly great knives.

Ted, Oh-oh, you're in trouble now.

The slope is steep and the ride is fast. Enjoy it!

I absolutely agree!!! Those are exemplary in their even lighting. Do you use a light tent?

Is that the HR?

Nope, diffusion panels and a Profoto light. I've been lighting commercial products for a long time. I wanted to try my hand at photographing knives. It's fun, but still room to improve.

Thanks for the kind words.

Hehe, I already have a Busse AK-47 and a Scrapper 4 on the way. Maybe I'm weaning myself off Busse's?

I love the AK 47 but don't quite get the name. You can get a real AK for that price. Should have named it the Sig 210. There has been alot of talk on sword
forum about tactical sword design and Busse already did it.
I have not even recieved my first scrapper 4 and already I am looking for a bigger blade from the Busse extended family. Good thing the bowie is coming out but a mini mojo or even better a mini spec ops would be perfect. This is how the madness starts isn't it? I can't wait for the next extravaganza.

tedwca · Dec 30, 2006

AK-47 means American Kensai w/ a 47cm blade length. Personally, I think my Bark River Northwinds are better designed and more effective short swords, but the Busse is probably tougher.

The flashlight is a Fenix, btw.
