She just arrived this morning. Super happy with this one. Bought her off another forum member. Would've boght it direct, but I'm already suffering from the jitters due to waiting for my Rodent Rucki to come. This is gonna make a sweet outdoors knife.
 
Glad you like it! I would have kept it but I'm holding out for an M9. Can't seem to find one on the exchange lately. I think the R9 is an excellent knife to use and abuse.
 
The R9 is an awesome chopper. Pretty easy to swing for a large knife too. It was my first Busse kin knife. Now I have a scrapivore and have an RMD and Taliwhacker on the way. Next is the TGLB!

Congrats on a great knife!
 
Iz okay. I want to "create" my own. I don't mind the wait. After that I can get back to my growing family of RATS. Maybe a Rucki
 
Lol I was actually talking about the M9, but I did see a TGLB on the bay also. When my Rucki arrives, my Rat Pack will be complete untill the next new model. You know, wondering what the difference is between the M9 and the R9? Looks like the clip goes back a bit farther on the M9, or is there more?

Different handle shape, wider (taller) blade, and last but not least, differential heat treat.
 
Congrats on your R9! They certainly know what they are doing over at the Swamp ;)
 
I am "almost" happy that the Rodent series handles just don't work for me......it would just be another bunch of steel I would HAVE to buy ..!!!!!! I do LOVE my M9s though !!!
 
I happen to like the Rodent Series and in fact prefer it. Fit's me like no other knife I have EVER held. R9, good choice Bro and congrats!!!

HAHAHA! My thoughts exactly!!! Sad thing is that I'm almost relieved when Busse (or kin) produces something that doesn't appeal to me and I don't "need" to buy.

I suppose my addiction is fairly severe... :o I'd quit, but nobody likes a quitter! :D
