I was going through my photobucket account and found a picture of my Busse assortment taken in December of 2005. I thought it was interesting to see how many of what I had then are no longer with me:

12 of 18 are gone. That is 67% turnover in about 18 months. Anyone else had a lot of comings and goings? Current tally is 21, so it isn't all outgoing.

What is the FSH you let go and what is the FSH you keep?

The one you let go me want, the one you keep...certainly is interesting.

Satin with Black paper? Black G-10? Black micarta :confused:
 
Interesting...
Since this time last year, I have bought 50 Busse knives

Of those,

32 are gone
I still have my 1st one ever
I have more than one of some

That is a 64% turnover for me.
 
Let's see:

Gone: AD, BAIII, SJ, SJT, Mole Jack, Heavy Heart, FSH, BA-E, BM-E, SH-E,

Kept: NO-E, AK, BATAC.

Future: ???

All 13 within the last 12-18 months. But all planned. I buy, try out, keep what I like (though I like them all) so what I like best, and re-sell to buy yet more to try out. It's a beautiful cycle of INFI! ;)

Then there are the Rats and Dogs. :)
 
GONE:
MOJO LE
MOJO VARIANT
SFNO VARIANT
FBM LE
Nuke HEART VARIANT
NMOASH
ZTBM
HH
BA III
HR
SHBM
HOGFSH LE
ORANGE GW
GREEN GW
FFFBM
SH VARIANT E

Still Have:
SFNO
Nuke Heart
GW
CGFBM
 
I'm too new to have much outgoing. Just a SHE that didn't do it for me and a HR that was the same. (Mag grips - bleech on SF, as mentioned elsewhere.)

Other than a few Warden trades, every other blade is still here. Virtually ALL safe-queens. :(
 
not sure of the percentages, but i know it's high for me too. i hated selling / trading all of them -- but i loved 'em every one!

one of these days i'll be able to afford to keep all i buy, but until then i'm in the same boat as Tyrkon- got to try them all, but only keep a few.

in the mean time, we're sure keeping the USPS afloat with all that postage and insurance!

Satin with black paper indeed. Purchased from Skunk at the Store because when I "found" Busse, the SJTs were up for order. When the FSHs started coming out, I snagged it.

The other was a sterile HOFSHLE. You can read about it here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=369228&highlight=fishy

I traded it last summer for some other stuff.
