Went to see my first Busse knives at Knob Creek last April.
Met a bunch of Busse fans and collectors at the booth.
Most everyone I talked to that day claimed that they used to own several brands but now owned Busse exclusively and were not interested in other brands.
I thought, "how narrow minded" :)
There were several of the Fusion Battle Mistress Prototypes for $799.00
I loved the knife but didn't feel like paying that much.
Heck, I could get a nice custom made to my specs for that price !
That was on Friday.
By Saturday, I wished that I had bought that big Battle Mistress Prototype but figured there was no hurry so went back on Sunday to get it.
To my dismay, I found they were all sold out. :(
Had no clue how popular Busse was before but found out that day. ;)
A few weeks ago went back to Knob Creek hoping to find a FBM LE.
There were none to be had but I spied a gray bead blasted FBM with the fat blade that I liked and bought it on the spot.
I was one of the first 3 customers to reach the booth that Friday morning.
Watched one fellow pick out four knives right away that totaled around $3,400.00 and was still looking when I left :eek:
Since getting my first Busse and studying its construction, I don't believe I will ever want to buy another brand again either. ;)
At least, not a fixed blade !!!

+1 on run away... fast! :p

I agree that the Busse blades are the best fixed blade knives I have had the pleasure to hold.

+1.

No ... +3. :eek::thumbup:

You have been warned.
 
Welcome! Newbie initiation rites REQUIRE you to post a picture of your new Busse. If you are unable to comply, send it to me, I'll take the pic and post it for you.
 
Guys,

I believe you're right !
It could quickly become a bad addiction or sickness in a hurry. ;)
I am already looking forward to going back to Knob Creek in spring 08'
Love the fact I only live 10 miles away. :cool:
Can't post of pic of mine at present, due to a scanner malfunction. :(
Will post a pic when I get the chance.

Don't say ya weren't warned!!!! :D:D
 
Awesome collection, Jaxx. :thumbup:
I'm envious. ;)
Looks like I'm going to have to try to get a few more for myself !
If I didn't have a thing for collecting expensive fly reels, I would already have a few more Busses.
We Sagi's have an understanding about collecting the finer things in life. :)
Just wish I had a lot more money to get them sooner !
