The Whoa Factor!

Lycosa · Feb 21, 2009

Hi HOGS. Just a note to say "Thanks" for turning me on to the Kool-aid!
When I received my first Busse, we all know which one that is, and opened the box, it was Whoa! When I received my second Busse, on Friday, same thing, Whoa! I have had knives move me before but Nothing like these Busses--- NOTHING!! Thanks!
OINK-GRUNT!

Isn't that the truth, though. I got my first in December, and it was nothing like any blade I'd owned before. I've got three more since, several more still coming ... I consider myself fortunate that there are some Busse knives that do not appeal to me stylistically, or else I'd be trying to get all of them!

It's bad enough as it is! They really are addictive.

The AK was the first ... the Ruck was second. Yeah, I started big, but I've still got some special ones paid for and en route. And I suspect (fingers crossed) that I've scored a couple of good ones in the CupidGanzaaaa.

Like I said, it's an addiction!

What you really need is a HH FSH!

Awesome scores there... show your bank account NO mercy! :thumbup:

Looks almost like my collection. Except for the one in the right corner. I have a BM-E instead. :thumbup:

Well, since you asked so nicely, certai.... hey, wait a minute!

Everything has a price, but my price to sell these would be in the realm of "unreasonable".

Those blades are what one calls...
Keepers!

The 'Whoa' factor never wears off......I dont get it when i open packages of inbound knives, my whoa moment normally happens as I rub my finger along the entire pine length

Something about feeling the handle perfectly ground to the steel is an awesome feeling to the touch.

Lycosa · Feb 22, 2009

It took me about a year to sink in. German oak-head, you know. I was knocked back by my old Hartsfields, but these Busses...well...you know!!
