Thanks guys

Geeze what's the world coming to with these online inductions? These little piglets haven't gone through half of the blood sweat and tears that the old Hogs have!!:grumpy:

ETA: And there are 6 EDC Ganzaaaaaa blades on the way, and at least three more BATACs. That'll put my total at at least 63 (not counting a SHSH II and SHBA that I haven't been able to find in years). Still not enough, standing on its own, to qualify be as a HOG, I fear.

Maybe this'll help:

Dangerously low on whisk(e)y at the moment, but that's only because I've been spending my booze money on Busses lately.
 
Been a long time since I've seen this many Busses in one thread! :eek:
 
I was ecstatic when my BATAC came in the mail today, my first piece of INFI! Now I'm just depressed seeing these massive collections of Busses that I'll never find available. I think the only thing that will cure my depression is an SFNO or a SHSH 2.
 
Here are mine. The FBMLE has been swapped for a Proto (in the black & blue) and I've added a Ruck and Frosted Jack since this picture was taken.

I would love to add a Frosted Badger to the mix. You listening, Garth?
 
I really don't have any INFI... I'm just really good with photoshop. :D :D ;)

I am missing a few others and I am waiting for about ten more from recent events!!! (best group shot I can muster coming soon)
My BUSSE INFI count is currently 16 with 10 on the way, 6 from the swamp and one bit of INFI from the junkyard...HOLY COW (I mean PIG) I did not realize how many I bought in under 16 months!

What's the one in the middle? I think I need one of those.

That's the XXXL NICK, .25" thick with a convex edge. Big brother to the regular NICK, a super thin slicer. Nice hunk of steel, but not too popular until recently. I never understood why a Busse fanatic wouldn't want a set of Busse kitchen knives to use every day.

I remember not too long ago these would sit in the exchange for $270-ish for weeks.
 
Folks, it's not strictly the number of knives that gets one inducted. I know of inducted Hogs with single Busse blades. It's more a matter of Hoggish character... a true appreciation for the blades (it helps if you use them the way they were meant to be used, unless you're Bravadoink), graciousness and helpfulness toward fellow piglets, a determination to track down special blades, staying in death chats to the very end, etc.
 
ok, INFI envy's got me, I got to post the family portrait.

Here's the family back in early February, I've added a few since then, and got my EDCganza scores coming in 2 weeks ...

and oh bleep, Blades only a month away, oh the humanity

But hey, I've got an XXL Nick in my kitchen

Man, am I glad I was inducted long ago. I wouldn't stand a chance getting in now, with the collections that have been posted in this thread, my collection looks like child's play.

Congrats on some beautiful pieces guys and thanks for sharing those pics......wow!

:D:D

OK, DAAAAAAAD. I'm sure you walked to Blade. . . uphill. . . . both ways. . . in a freak June snowstorm. . . . with no shoes. . . . sleeping in a cardboard box in the middle of the road. . . . and you were LUCKY to have that box. . . :D

did you swap with gravelface?

No, someone else. For the sake of discretion, I will leave it at that. We made a deal after Jerry announced the last Ganza. I told him that I would swap my LE and the cash difference with him if he got one of the protos. It worked like a charm, considering I got skunked in my own request.

I'd vote for Apprentice induction or something like that! No full induction until you see the man himself!:thumbup:
