So I got about 1 more big purchase for the year and it maybe awhile before I buy anything else( need to save some money for VT next spring. So my choices are sebenza 21 double thumb stud large tanto,Italian made beretta, mil thunder five, and of course a Busse now the prices vary but not by much for me and there is a SARsquatch I've been eyeing on the exchange along with some others that have gone up but but I'm exactly a month before I got the cash in hand.....what would y'all do or what would you process of elimination be?
 
Sebenza and Sasquatch are pretty different in size , whats the knife going to be used for ?
 
Honestly right now I'm more stocking up for when I'm better so I'm kinda in collector phase right now with the intention of everything being a user eventually. I know my chooses are not similar at all but everyone here always has given me good advice. But the SARsquatch would get some nice leather and go on my western pistol rig and the sebenza would be well my most expensive folder but 1 I've held out for till I felt I was ready and would end up as my edc.
 
I have owned a large Sebenza an have four Saraquatches. I gave the Sebenza away, but I will never be without at least one Sarsquatch for using and one spare.

Unsolicited advice: If you want a large folder in the price ranges you are talking about, get a Lionsteel SR1. It is basically a smaller, folding Sarsquatch-shaped blade and is built the way Busse would build a folder.
 
Hmmmm....That's quite a list of very different size and usage knives...if it were me I'd go to VEGAS put the money on all the "Hard ways" on the Craps table sit back and let 'er ride...:eek: :D

In my experience with a Sebenza its like a Busse you either use it every day EDC or beat like it owes you money!!!! I use my Sebenza like it's a Spydie if I trash it so be it...I can't have a Knife that quality and
not want to carry and use it...YMMV
 
Yeah my list is kinda all over I will admit I don't really need another gun but we know how that goes...lol. And I'm open to other suggestions too! My current Busse and Kins are...TGLB,B4 anorexic, swamprat ruk, scrapyard 411 and urban regulator and a HD dagger. Other fixed blades are omnivore americana, Barnes 8, BRKT gunny, BRKT lil caper 1st production run, BRKT 2009 custom micro tusk. I think that's it. So that's an idea of what I got for fixed blades if that helps. I don't mind looking at other options if a list of my folders would help let me know. Since it's gonna be my last big buy for awhile I want all the imput I can get.
 
So right now SARsquatch is in the lead...it's just got to be available I'm a month give or take a day. But the polls are still open!
 
For your 1st Sebenza I wouldn't recommend the tanto. Get the regular grind and you'll be much happier in everyday use. But all this doesn't matter since you should get a Busse instead :D
 
Well as of right now the SARsquatch I want is still around and a busse is winning! And it would look so good on my triple k western rig with my Uberti cattleman and I can wear that knife or whole rig her if I want va laws are pretty lax
