Some crap that has to keep me going until... yeah, you know... until something extraordinary happens in Busse Combat history ;)

Nice crap..:cool:

As much as I like Busse,it would be nearly impossible to come up with a folder anywhere near the quality of that Hinderer you have.

That being said,if Busse does come out with a folder,I'll give you $50 for that crap Hinderer, it would go nice with my 3.5 flipper. :D
 
You don't need that crap lying around...;) Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly for you...:thumbup: That's the kind of giving person I am...:cool:

Oh guys, you are really caring! I wish I could send you these crappy folders for proper disposal, but folding knives cannot be sent from KSA to the US :p I tried it before and it has always been rejected. On the other hand it is no problem to receive them from US :confused: In case mailing regulations change I will let you know what is my next excuse :D
 
Those are some nice knives.
When posting pictures of a HOGFSH, you should always provide a spine show in there somewhere, it's a very beautiful to see the .32" spine, especially in satin =)

As for folders, that Rocstead is sweet, and hard to come by, and not cheap!
Other folders are sweet. As for the XM18, I still think think that it is overpriced. And everyone is going to tell me no, not for $425... cause lets not make up stuff, it's selling straight from the authorized dealers for over $800
I don't think we have to worry, when Busse comes out with a folder, it's going to be Better! Jerry isn't taking all this time for research to put out a piece of garbage. It's going to be a Busse so that alone says a lot.

Spine show? All right! After a sweet 9h nap. It's already late where I am :) I actually have another Rockstead inbound. In the picture you see the Kou. The Shin is on the way. They are facing some delays after everything what happened in Japan. Who wouldn't understand.

The others, CRK Sebenza, Hinderer XM-18, Lionsteel SR-1, Strider SMF and SNG are all the same to me. As an uneducated user I personally couldn't tell why one costs more than the other. I love 'em all me crappy foldings :D
 
I had a chance to use a Hinderer in a passarround. Well built folder. A bit thick at the tip with the production spanto point. I would love one with either a hand ground, or Krein regrind.

What I really wish I had my mits on right now (besides that awesome Busse), is one of those Lion Steel folders with a nice convex edge.

Did you get it with the clad steel? I got a Shin #003 from Blade last year. It's a ZDP189 with HRC 66.5 blade. I don't play or even touch it at all. It's scary sharp.
 
Very nice bunch of knives there buddy. I have a HOFSHLE #23 myself and it is one of the knives I hope to never part with.
 
Beautiful collection all around. I love that LionSteel. I've been eyeballing one of those for a while.

Not all of them... ;) At least one sells 'em for under 7 bills when they get 'em. Still up quite a bit from 2 years ago when my number came up for one at under 5. Everybody is entitled to their opinions though, and mine is that currently the XM series is at or near the top, especially the customs...just declined an offer on my upgraded user Gen I XM-18 that was in the thousands. :eek:
But enough from this Hinderer fanboy... ;)

Al-Sheikh, love the Rockstead too, and that SR-1 is dang fine (I dig mine!). and so's that Seb. :thumbup: Ya got some mighty fine "crap" there! ;):thumbup: ...Guess they'll have to do until...

THE BUSSE FOLDER!!!

congrats on your HOFSH score, and yes...we do need to see that spine shot! :D:thumbup:

Yea I saw one on the auction site go over a grand. Friend of mine was selling it and I couldn't figure it out. I had to ask another friend why it went for so much, it was a second gen :-)
It's a good knife but I guess I just expected more for how much they go for. Especially since it's not the steel they are paying for, cause he keeps changing it. I guess it's just not my thing, but then again I'm sure many people say that about Busse too :-)
I just can't wait for Jerry's folder to see what he is going to come out with....
 
Nice FSH! That's a grail for sure!
