A few days ago, I made a request to the community for some help.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455985

The response was quick, and I'd like to say thanks to everyone. I'd especially like to thank on_the_edge for his help and wisdom. He took an hour off work today to show me some of his knife collection. It was great talking with him, and I feel better informed of what I'm looking for in a Busse. He definitely went beyond the call of duty helping a pork rind out out. :D
 
This'll be whisked off to the GBU... Maybe not if I quickly ask:

Well, which do ya like BETTER??? Reg. grips or MAGNUMS??? :D Whatcha gonna get??? :D :thumbup: COOL MAN!! These Busse Forum people ROCK.

For my hand size, I prefered the magnums on a CGFBM, but they were still a little on the fat side. If I got magnums, I'd be tempted to sand them down a touch. Having said that, I also held a fusion heavy heart that I really liked with standard scales. The standard scales on the more neutrally balanced HH seemed to be a good match, and the magnums on the GCFBM seemed to be a better match for me.

Having said this, I don't think I'm willing to spend the extra $$$ on the change in scales. I'll probably end up doing a "Cliff Stamp", and wrap my standard scales to build up some thickness. After seeing on_the_edge's collection, I have to start saving up for an AD ;)

Active Duty? MY personal favorite. I love them, just got a Murry Carter damascus fishing necker because it reminded me of a Busse AD somewhat. They rock!! Small and useful to no end, I miss my only, a user with an enlarged finger choil... It's out getting pants and a little beauty treatment at Busse CS. before coming home... Seems like an eternity, only really 3 weeks or so. LOL :thumbup::thumbup:

Yup, the Active Duty is a pretty sweet knife, and is now on my wish list.
 
Chris, it was good meeting you and talking shop to a fellow affecionado. If down the road, you get a hankerin' to see something else I have, you know where to find me. And maybe sometime soon, we can convince David Brown to put down his AK-47 long enough to get together for a little S. AZ BBQ. Stay in touch...:thumbup:
 
Some call it help....some call it sharing the addiction...either way Hogs are always happy to help.

Good going on the edge.
 
I concur with ya, OTE is a great guy. He went out of his way to help me acquire a GW a while back. Thanks again OTE.:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
I love to hear about these happenings. If it weren't for the patient and good-hearted people around here, I wouldn't have any INFI.
 
Very kind of you on_the_edge:thumbup:

Glad you got to see some of edge's knives. Sounds like it was a big help to you.
 
I got to plan a trip to AZ....lots of friendly HOGS, can't seem to find any here in Louisiana?
 
OTE is good folk. :thumbup:

Now that AZ road trip... that sounds good! I've not been to the desert in over a year. AZ, NM... beautiful, man!
 
Great things to see out there......Painted Desert.....Petrified Forest.....Busse gatherings in the desert!!!
 
What would be very cool, IMO, would be a Grand Canyon Busse get-together. If Busse knives and spending time with like-minded folks weren't good enough reasons alone, the GC would top it off nicely.
 
You know...the wife and I were discussing this just last week......:thumbup: :thumbup:
