Ethan is a knife guy who even owns a Busse or two, and this is the off-topic thread.
You're welcome to post the Busse pics as long as you're willing to take the heat! :thumbup:

Oh shit, you've made me pull out my SuperSignature.
I'll be adding an Order of KAI number as soon as Thomas W comes to his senses and sends me a free 0777.

I had a package sit in a FedEx Smartpost in Hebron, KY for three days. Then someone at the Smartpost thought a trip to Phoenix sounded like a good idea. So after catching a few rays in Phoenix for a couple of days, they let it head back my way for a bit. Smartpost at Earth City, MO for a quick appearance, then off to Indy for whirlwind stopover. I'm not sure who books these tours but it sure is fun to track and guess where they're going next. It's my favorite game. The wife is betting back to Hebron and I'm thinking another cycle through Phoenix.


Edit: Showed up in Hebron at 4:53AM. Been on the road for nearly two weeks now. I'm going to send a screen shot of the tracking to FedEx/USPS and thank them for inventing this game.

You really should offer to pay them extra shipping.
 
I dittoed once, and my left leg was numb for a week.

Speaking of ditto'ing, I went looking for the ingredients at my local liquor store the other day, found Teto's, but when I asked about vermouth the guy looked dumbfounded, and told me that they had bloody mary and margarita mix, but he had never heard of vermouth. Obviously a classy establishment. Vermouth something they might have at Kroger, or do I need to import it from Spain or something silly like that?

I'm sure you can get that squared-away if you ask in the Kershaw subforum. Oh... wait... never mind.

I once had to explain to a pissed-off bartender, how to make a gin and tonic.
 
Suck up. Dubz gets dittoed all the time. I guess I've reached the stage in my life I have to start paying for it.
 
I bet Qeth will ditto you old man, he gives it up for cheap.

Worldwood, this isn't me bashing you or trying to start any trouble with anyone. However many people have pointed out several times that you do post a goodly amount of times about Busse knives on here. Yes, this is the off topic chat, and yes, you will see several posts about different types of knives in here that are not Beckers, but that doesn't mean you need to post so much about Busse in here. You'll notice that when others do post about other knives, they usually only post one or two times about that knife or company and then that's it. Usually because they start asking more questions and having more discussion in those subforums instead of here (if they have a subforum at least) or in general knife chat if they don't. Where Busse has a few forums here, that kind of stuff would be better placed in their forums instead of so frequently here. Again, don't take this as an attack, it isn't, but at the same time we do need to be considerate of the fact that this is the Becker forum, and even if this thread is labeled off-topic, we don't need to abuse that. Personally I like a few of the Busse offerings, and the RMD is a beautiful knife, but there is already a place for discussion of those knives, and really wouldn't you get a better reaction there anyways?

Not trying to start anything, insult anyone, or be rude to anyone, but I don't think showing some consideration for whose forum we are in would be a bad thing, especially when there are better places for those posts elsewhere. Not saying they are disrespectful, only that they are better suited to being posted in their forums instead of here. (I hope none of that made me sound condescending or rude or anything like that. This is just my opinion and doesn't reflect the feelings of E, or anyone else, so take it for the low low price of $0.02.)

No worries man, Id rather hear you say it than anyone else! You shared your opinion, thank you, I do understand your point and it was not upsetting in the least to read coming from you. This isnt directed at you Derek, it isnt directed at anyone but now please let me share my opinion with equal acceptance. which i doubt will happen.

I wont mention Busse/Swamp rat here anymore PERIOD.... EVER, you guys WIN :) I understand your point Derek, sometime im just excited for my new knives and want to share them with the people i considered my friends, I have known you guys longer and built more relation with some of you than any of the guys over there. So i like chatting here, with you guys more, thats ALL it is.

But let me state my opinion please. I put off topic in the off topic thread, if its the case i mention it too often lets get down to it FOR REAL. go thru and count how many posts "I" have made in these off topic snark threads about Busse.. EVER, now do the same for post about Todds knives in the snark threads. go a head I already tried and got tired of counting. When was the last time he posted a new Becker knife of his??? Or a thread using his Beckers? Not changing it to his liking, using it. He has his own subforum too! he can go there and post about his knives and chat as well. Nobody has a problem with that though! Apples are Apples, and if Todd didnt start this Id never have to share my opinion but here we are. I think Daizee Posts about his knives here quite a bit too. I dont think he has a subforum though?? "I" never mind seeing their knives or hearing about them here. I LIKE SEEING THEM HERE. i come here instead of the other threads because of the different content. I think everyone comes here to post the other things they are interested in BESIDES beckers.... There is a whole gang of threads under this one for becker content. Its off-topic so i share my OTHER interests here, same as ALL OF YOU. Some of you think the knives are priced too high and comment on that all the time, I think other peoples knives are priced just as high using steel like O1 tool steel thats cheaper to buy than either of Busse or swamp rats steel.. i can buy cheaper O1 tool steel than i can buy 52100 steel, and then i still cant get Busse's proprietary heat treat. but i can easily buy O1 steel and send it to peters. hell i live in PA i can drop it off and save.

I have showed respect, i have never once even commented on how a Becker knife stands up to a swamp rat or busse knife publicly because of respect for becker knives and Ethan. I dont compare a 80 dollar BK9 to a 500 dollar Busse, There are those here comparing their 500 dollar knives to 80 dollar knives like its "weird" it out chops the smaller, thinner knife lmao... I personally dont think its a mystery when the more expensive one out chops the other. And i dont comment on it. I have commented on the steels but always mentioned 1095 was still a great steel for the price.

I kept my opinions to myself regarding this, After all i like you guys and love becker knives, but it seems I am bothering some of you so it is only right i get to state my case publicly for everyone... since you guys are stating your case publicly. I didnt start this, And i have no intentions of continuing with this conversation. I have stated my case. I am done posting here about anything not Becker related. But apples are apples and oranges are oranges. I have no hard feelings I hope you guys can read my ".02 cents" and let it go the same way I am doing.

Here's a random thought for you. How would like to be used car shopping and run into one of Guyon's trade-ins.

"Yeah, it's a great truck and all, but the keys smell like sweaty balls. What's up with that?"
 
Hey Woody, post anything you want to in here. It's off topic, but it's also snark. Expect a certain amount of ragging and just roll with it. Have you noticed how much shit I catch daily? Hell, Derek gives me nonstop crap and he wears mom jeans. It's all good. Post away man.
 
To be fair, you might be surprised how the BK-9 holds up against a Busse. It's pretty damn impressive!

I don't really think any one has it out for you WW. I know personally I like seeing other knives and I'm damn glad when I get dirt time whether I'm carrying a Becker, Esee, Daizee, TMHunt, Snody, whatever! There are a few Busse's I'd love to have but can't afford. I have a few Scrapyards that I do really like but they won't kick my Beckers out of pocket.

Ditto. Although I don't catch a lot of shit, but that is more my coordination issue.
