The ultimate Busse?

If money is a factor, I would avoid the satin blades. Expect to spend a few hundred more dollars for an LE version.
 
I have to say that my favorite is my SFNO LE #18 and my second is the Hellraiser. But who knows it might change when I get my Tankbuster LE....:D

Nope. The CBTs, if anything, reduce blade drag, since the medium being cut doesn't generally come in contact with them. Here's a little bushcrafting review I did of it: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=600705&highlight=Razing+Hell

For heavier work, the Battle Mistress line is hard to beat. The CGFBM (like the pic I posted above) will probably be the cheapest to acquire. It gives a 10 inch blade, and has the same CBT (Corrugated Bevel Technology) on the blade as the Hellrazor. One additional benefit to them, especially on a large blade is they help give a good grip if you choke up on the blade like so:

Probably the next best would be a NMSFNO. 8" of blade, and very popular for outdoors work around here.
 
Is there going to be a SAR 8? That would be interesting....the design of the handle would give a chopping ability if you hold off on the back very similar to a 10 inch blade I expect....going off how the SAR4 feels.
 
If I had to keep only one, it would be my SH-E. INFI is a great all-around steel, and the SH-E is Busse's best all-around knife. IMO. YMMV.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Money is a somewhat limiting factor... I can afford to spring for a Busse, but I'm not sure I can afford to spring for multiple Busse knives. :D

I really like the satin blades, and the black paper micarta handles look really good.

Regarding the Hellrazor, the scallops or whatever they are called on the blade seem to me like they would hinder the knife's cutting ability. Any thoughts on that?

Huh? I'm the first one to name the FBMLE? That is the embodiment of a Busse blade. It is the Busse-est Busse.
 
FBMLE if I could only have one Busse

next would be the NMSFNOLE if I could only have one knife of any kind

another great is the ASHLE or Skinny ASH
 
If I could only have one Busse.. I think.... it would be the CG ASH1 .32 thickness. That's just because I love that one so much, and I feel like it's sort of the perfect knife for me.

What do I feel is the best all around Busse that I've tried ? NMSFNO I'd give that another vote. :thumbup:

Best choice, and most obvious choice you'll find in this sub-forum is get them all!!

Don't forget about this little beauty. As mentioned before what comes to mind when someone says Busse? The battle mistress.
This baby is the new background on my desktop. I love this one.

Battle Mistress, any of them. Stands in my mind as the quintesential Busse.
 
AK47 for me. Does the chopping of a large knife, machete, and axe. Good in a fight if need be (Though I can't imagine that would ever happen), and good design for even small cutting chores. Ultimate survival tool IMHO. Batons huge pieces of wood too.
 
AK-47 (California legal by the way :D :D :D )

Ditto on above. My first, and never regreted it, however the perfect busse...I "think", NMSFNO, the BM-e, or the AK.

That SAR4 is a damn fine looking knife too though, just not my idea of the BUSSE overall "image".
