What is your favorite Busse?

All of your opinions suck. :D

We all the know the best one is the one we're eyeing next, right? :thumbup:
 
For now - right now I am really liking the Jack Hammer that will be on its way to me.

No not a great chopper,
not a fine cutter

- but it is so simply WICKED that I look very forward to carrying her around - just DARING any Zombie to try and attack!!!!:thumbup::D;)

Well I have a lot of favorite Busses. But for me they go in categories.

User Chopper, user small knife, just plain fun, most collectible etc. etc., but in the user chopper area; yes I agree that the CGFBM is number one.

In fact I was just talking to a HOG today about the fact that it seems odd to me that the CGFBM has not caught on fire with respect to resale. That knife should be selling fast at the prices listed on the exchange.

Maybe it will be like the Hell Razors. They sat around at $267.00 and then I blinked and they were at $500.

Yup, I totally agree about the CGFBMs being undervalued. I just think that many are turned off by the CBTs. I have been playing with those CGFBMs quite a bit lately and I still scratch my head everytime I find them to chop so darn well after a good sharpening. With a nice convex edge their chopping performance easily increases by 100+ percent. I could be wrong but I think it may have something to do with the CBTs and that fact that they are milled in a convex bevel profile.
 
Okay, what if I have multiple personalities? Do I get multiple knives? :D Or would I be deemed unfit to own a knife and have my INFI confiscated?
 
The other BMs that are wacked out as to value are the BM-Es. I think I saw an BM-E LE sit there for $750, and there were only about 300 made back when LE meant a limited number rather that a version that would not be made again.

I'm glad I took that ZTBM today as I can see the BM-Es being $1,000 knives when people get the drift.

I was slow to get it myself because I had SH-E first that felt like a 1x6 in my hand.


Oh and the Basic 9's :eek: :eek: :eek:... where can you get a 9 inch Busse blade for under $400? That is just nuts!!!

Tossup between the FBMLE or the MOASH. I REALLY like the MOASH but I recognize that the FBMLE is probably the functionally superior blade.
 
I would have to say my favorite Busse right now is one I don't own. For some reason the Nick's just seem so stinking cool. The neatness factor of an unassuming looking knife like that being able to cut down trees, cut through walls, pry through steel car doors, and make lunch is just too cool!.

No I am not saying my FBMLE won't do all those things, but it is just not that handy in the kitchen, and if I carry one of those around everyone thinks I am nuts (where as with some nicks all I have to do is put on a white hat, and sing like the chef from the muppets and everyone just thinks I am a chef). I also carry around a pumpkin warden every day, and have an ss, but they aren't as cool as a nick xxl
 
My soon to be Banned CGFBM! It was my favorite when I sent it out and I have the feeling im going to like it even more when I get it back.;)
 
My muched loved Mud Razor. This knife has done a boat load of work, it is now bare steel and has a convex edge and for me has the most character of all of my Busse blades.

If you have multiple personalities then you are not fit to own knives. Please send all your INFI to me for proper disposal. I am such a giver :p

All right, I'm convinced. You just bought yourself some more work.

My favorite Busse right now? I've got a soft spot for the Steel Hearts, have a SH-E and a HH right now. Still mad that Uncle J got that tan SH from knife hunter before I got to it... :grumpy:
