Thanks brothers! I wanted to add that my B8 is the sharpest Bussee(kin) I own! Beef put an awesome convex edge on it. I think I'm gonna try to hold on to this one, maybe trade the wife's car in for scrap and buy her a donkey for transportation...and spend the rest on Busse blades! Hog logic. She will love this idea!:D

Brilliant!!! :thumbup: :D

Be sure to share the idea with her today--Happy Mother's Day Mrs. Swamp Hog!!!
 
I don't know about our friends overseas, but I got a spectacular delivery today--sheaths for my babies from dericdesmond!

Eric, you have developed some serious skills, my friend. Absolutely love the small "footprint" of these--perfectly designed to take up the least amount of room and save every last possible ounce of weight. Plus retention is dead solid perfect, right where I like it--on the handle with no squeezing/scratching the blade flats or pinching the edge. Super impressive work--Thanks a Million!!! :thumbup:

I don't know how you make these fit close enough to be rattle-free BUT not so tight that they mark up the blade--obviously you DO! :D

True craftsmanship!

Thanks again,
Will

Excuse the mug shot style flash photography - it is late here. I left the shop grease on the HACK Warden. When I took this pic, I realised that those 3 knives are really all I need. They are the perfect 3. A little slicer/skinner, a mid range all rounder and and the Basic 8 has enough oomph to use it as a chopper. I have been a Swamprat for so long and have so many RMDs it is weird having an RMD with a Talon Hole and Busse written on it but man it feels great in the hand. Love the Micarta on the SMD.
