Well, today I ordered a Busse Battle Mistress, it has been a while since it was available brand new directly from Busse.I cant wait to get it...as it is the base model (black blade & black canvas micarta) it is truely an awsome piece to me.This will be my first Busse, and based on everything that I have read and been told about them over the past few or so years, I will be getting one of the best made knives possible, has anyone else had one for a while and have any feedback thanks
