Sorry Stump, took me a while to get a photo of the family taken. Here is an Hg55 on top, Grudge LE, custom shop old style grudge with bone handles and double cut, old style 2010 "ShamRuckO'Ganzaaa" grudge. For those wondering, the new grudge LE is a bit more hand filling, with a more pronounced palm swell. Oddly enough I would be hard pressed not to say that the extremely unconventional, triangular, noncontoured hg55 is not the most comfortable and versatile grip (double negatives anyone
). These are all amoung the best fitting Busse handles for my hands though, and you can not go wrong. I would also like to point out the cool guard/talon holes. The new LE continues the previously subtle guard difference, in which the talon guard was narrower and higher on the old models (appropriate for its fighting design). The new LE grudge has the most guard-like and recurved talon hole of any Busse I own, and I prefer this style (broad short talon holes combine with elf choils are one of my pet peeves).

Dho'
I'm just buying this over so the photo doesn't fall off the page right away.
I was thinking the same, swedge grind for a fighter and no swedge for a field type knife. It would certainly be a quick fix for Busse and less work swedge and swedgeless, Hmmm! is that even a real word.I particularly like the lack of swedge grind.
Congrats on a nice set!
