If I had a #2, I'd use it twice as hard, just to watch the collectors who have nothing but safe queens cry.

Now to sharpen it proper and head out into the woods!
Wow those slabs look amazing
What did you put on them to get that color.
Rich, let us know how it does. You beat me to the #2 but I was still able to score #39. I can't wait to get it.

That DEUCE cant be used. That is a safe queen!! If I had a #2 LE I would put a bubble around it and buy a CG to chop with!!
I think I would have to use #2 also if I had it.![]()
I will tell you a funny story. The first Busse I bought was an FBM LE. I bought it off a seller on this forum, and he said he'd send it quickly, but there was a huge delay. I had planned to take it on holidays with me and use it extensively, but because of the delay, the knife did not arrive till after I left, a friend of mine took reception of it and emails me almost daily to tell me what an insane knife it is (he knows nothing about knives, but who wouldn't be impressed?)
I will only return in about a week or so, and the FBM LE will have been waiting for me for almost 6 weeks by then, or to put it another way, my vacation has been marred by the knowledge that my first and biggest Busse has been bought and paid for and is waiting for me at home...
I bought another 6 Busse's after that first one, and received a superfat GW just in take for my holiday. It's the only Busse I own and have with me... A SAR4 SE and 2 ASH's are also at home waiting, and a Tank Buster and now a Key Lardo have been ordered and paid for.
But this FBM LE I have owned now for 6 weeks... and I never even saw it live!!![]()

You've just won 1st prize for understatement of the Century! :thumbup:I guess you are looking forward to meeting your FBMLE?![]()
Thats like using the Mona Lisa as a dinner mat and eating on it...or throwing a Superman #2 in your backback for lunch time reading...Respect the fact that there is only 1 #2. Something needs to be kept sacred, thats what CG's are for...
