First off I should start by saying that I posted this in the Busse forum first without thinking to post here. With that said, here's my first impressions of the blade:

Just got the Rodent 9 today and I couldn't be more psyched! The grip and balance are fantastic! I was wary of the look of the new handles, but they really provide an excellent grip! The overall design is just very svelte and functional.

Well enough Yacking, I'll just show ya. Hopefully my pics aren't too bad.

In hand:

Chamfered spine:

Handles:

With the other blades that arrived this week:


I really love this blade! It just begs to be used. It's too bad I won't be able to use it until the weekend. If you didn't get one in the Ganza, make sure to grab one when they hit the store! Thanks everyone at Busse and Swamprat for designing this winner and getting it into my eager hands quickly :thumbup:

Can't wait to see what Christmas in December is like! I'm hoping my 2 B-10s will be under the tree. That would sure make disposing of the tree after Christmas fun!
 
Thanks Max! I wish I could get 4 blades every week. I'd have to go back to working in finance again to do that, and that is one thing I've vowed never to do!
 
Flux, I find it to be very heavy, compared to my other 9" rat... what are your impressions of the knife weight and weight distribution?
 
Mine is here and it is awesome.

Heavy, which is good for chopping.

I was a bit leery of the handle, but now I like it. It seems to fit my medium sized hands very well.

Thanks, Alan, for the nice sharp edge!
 
From the top pic (in hand) the handle looks real beefy... huge in comparison with the BJ... Waiting for some in use pics, can't wait to get one myself, looks like it will be a great user!

I'm jealous. I tried to order one last night and the darn web site wouldn't let me. I tried again tonight and my order was still there in limbo land. Finally got it ordered!!!
