Hmm I may have an "Extra" one hmm.I might add, that I still intend to add a Hog Nose just in case anyone has lost their affections for theirs collecting dust in a closet somewhere in the house, that you're actually unsure of exactly which one that would be.
My first ever Busse/ Kin ordered was a Swamprat Rodent Rucki. That sword took forever to receive! Between order and receipt of the Rucki I got my feet wet with a Ratmandu and a FBM. So technically the Ratmandu was my first Busse Kin. It was the sword that brought me to the party. The AK47 was the next must have sword. This was a couple years ago, and both those swords were a regular offering. My next sword didn’t come till a while later, when I found a sweet mint Swamprat Waki on the exchange. So with the 3 swords my sword collection seamed complete........ for the time being. I recently brought the swords to my brother in laws house to play with before he went off to the Navy. We had a blast!!!! Slicing all kinds of fruits and veggies. We also lined up the water bottles for a slice. We felt like kids again! I think the Waki was the favorite of both of ours. I recently reduced my Knife collection substantially. The swords are keepers! I don’t even get tempted to sell the swords. So needless to say. I’m very excited to add a new model to the collection!Man, I've always thought about them but was intent that picking up a Hog Nose would fulfill that void. But pass on this offer? HELL no - Really? a 101 sword for less than I've paid for some quite exceptional Scotch? ~ My mama didn't raise no fool. This one was so simple I can't believe anyone was on any damn fence.

Well how about that, Hmmmm....this has all the makings of a story with a happy endingHmm I may have an "Extra" one hmm.
Come on now, you're stressing and overlooking the simplest and easiest solution and this all goes away as if it never existed! You know the answer! Look, how many hands do you have? 2 right? how many swords go into 1 hand? 1 sword! ... bro, only live once man, and that's a big deal.I just can’t decide stripped or coated.
Stripped is purty from the factory - but a PITA to keep nice
Coated - start slamming it into stuff and don’t worry.
I found that my green waste can is the perfect platform to set targets. It is tall enough that you aren’t bending down too much. Table height is a little low. The large garbage bin also deflected blows that had to much downward trajectory. I would recommend a large tarp under your garbage can. You could also use a large plastic container turned upside down on top of a fold up table. The key is to shop for the occasion. Buy more than you think you will need. Targets get destroyed in a hurry! Watermelons, cantaloupe, apples, water bottles. Load up a cart! Apples are fun to line up about 6 in a row. If you can get a perfectly flat swing and hit your target, it’s awesome! Most new I-phones can record in slow-mo. Have a family member record as much as possible. You will enjoy watching the movies almost as much as making them.Well how about that, Hmmmm....this has all the makings of a story with a happy ending
JACKMANDU You've got a couple highly sought after pieces there
Those absolutely have a sustainable strength of value with certainty of growth.
Already thinking of how to set up water bottles and other things....now that you planted those seeds
If you are Using it, it's not going to rust....I just can’t decide stripped or coated.

I had never heard of the Hog Nose had to look it up. Hot Damn. This is what happens when you take hiatuses. Started collecting Busse and Kin in 2011. I’ve had some nice pieces that I’ve had to let go over the years due to being hurt and out of work on disability. To mitigate the anguish of not being able to buy knives I take long breaks from coming here lol. I’ve missed so much cool shitMan, I've always thought about them but was intent that picking up a Hog Nose would fulfill that void. But pass on this offer?
