ASHLE1-2.jpg


For me it is my ASHLE. It has been my user blade for some time now. I carry it in a Mashed Cat Kydex, clean it with hot water, a tooth brush and dish soap. I keep it sharp on a leather belt.

What does it for you? Your main carry knife? The one that gets MOST of the attention?
 
Does it have to be a Busse?! I will use any excuse to use my Ratweiler! Even if its splitting logs just for the hell of it...

My sar3 is my edc work knife. Cuts PE gas pipe, strips wire, pries valve covers.

My most used woods blade that i still own is my CF BWM.
 
As far as carrying goes, my CGBATAC sees the most use. Living in a more urban area in a state which requires knives to be carried openly and where hardly anyone carries a knife (that I'm aware of), I don't carry Busse's on me that often, but the CGBATAC is a good knife to toss in the truck when I feel I might need something more than a folder. :)

In the winter months, this usually gets rotated out for a CGNMSFNO, HOFSHLE or CGFBM as a truck knife when foul weather is predicted.

 
It's the BATAC for me also...I bring it on day hikes, car camping trips, fishing trips up north, canoe-camping...so useful. Get it out, cut your thing (or chop/split/hammer/pry/throw/scrape/whatever), put it back in. No fuss, no question asked. Pure business!

I have some nice leather pants I won in a giveaway right here, and a kydex sheath. I use both, depending on the mood of the day :D

We like pics, I know...

I use a Banned S5LE just about every day. Right behind that is a B11 for shrub/tree-trimming around the house and cleaning up hiking trails near our home.

I applied a convex bevel to one side of this std edge B11 myself, just to see how it would do--still testing for durability, but so far I love it. The Banned edge needs minimal touch-up with 1500-grit wet/dry sandpaper over a mouse pad to stay screaming sharp. (Scratches along S5LE edge in pic are from cutting cardboard--the 1500 grit sandpaper leaves a mirror edge.)

Finally feeling the BATAC love!!! I'm there as well. Found that the BATAC is just one of the best most versatile knives out there. Not an EDC around the urban haunts but out rural all day long. Of coarse that's just down the road up here, HAHA!!!!!!!
 
For me my most used Busse is my CABS LE. I use it all the time.

(I don't use #1 but I don't have a pic of my user.;))

Followed very closely by my ghetto satin B11.

I usually keep these both sharp with my paper wheels but plan to get that belt grinder eventually to better maintain the convex on the CABS and put one on the B11. :cool:
 
Hey -O-,

That B-11 and sheath is SWEEEEET Bro!!! Nice set up most definitely...
 
Well, since everyone else is posting pics... these are my most used;

The SAR3 started out as doublecut finish, but the blade is pretty much satin now. The tip got mauled when it got dropped into a phone vault (about a 12ft drop tip-first onto concrete) and I had a little fun with the belt sander and turned it into a spear point. Still has the nuclear meltdown on the spine, I blended that in pretty well.
 
My abused and battered SHBM.....she has seen the hardest abuse of any knife I own and rocks solid every day.

I actually have two. In the field, I carry the SH-E on my pack. Mostly, though, my SHBA gets the nod.

I do love those SH's! ;)
 
My DSSF. I really love the shape of this blade. It's a great hiking companion. Not too heavy and very mighty.

My BAD gets the most use just because it is the smallest, so it gets the most pocket time.

The CABS gets used in conjunction with the B11 that I carry in a combo baldric rig.

My edc is currently a cabs, but I'm looking forward to my boss jack le coming this week. It will likely be my new edc.
 
B11 stripped with convex edge for outdoors, I'm still in the fondling stage with my BJLE.
