The problem with the way Busse knives sells their knives in batches that come 'randomly ' is that Even if I try to pit money aside for their next midel I often spend it on other knives while I wait for the next offer...
Who else has this problem ?
 
Don't we all?haha I know I certainly do. When I've already used up the money put aside, the credit card gets a workout.
 
While waiting on my AXE Hammer, I bought a CRK Large Sebenza 21 and (I think) a Mikov 241. Just because.
 
I tend to focus on other toys while I wait. Firearms, optics, plate carrier, boots, straight razors.

Right now the only blades I have on my list is a couple Dalibor's, and waiting on a Sasquatch. All the rest are my Busse's that I'm waiting on.

I plan on being more selective this year in my purchases as I plan on grabbing a custom bolt rifle and I need to outfit it and one of the new Hudson pistols.

I only buy Busse Kin now so no. After I sell this last Benchmade pocket knife....I don't think I'll own anything but Busse Combat Knife Group blades.
 
The only knives I have bought while waiting for an order from Busse are... other Busses!

I got my take-it-to-the-grave HH on another forum while waiting for a BATAC from the shop.
 
Well I did that when I got started and found it gets expensive too quick. So I try to stick with Busse and Kin. Not to say that I do not visit the sales forum 3 or 4 times a day to see what pops up lol. You can find a real deal on there quit often. I usually find the deal 5 minutes after someone posted "Ill take it" lol

Lol so true !

not me, I just pay off the Busse purchase a little at a time, so by the time it's ready I don't owe anything on it.
 
I like folders.
Busse doesn't fill that itch...yet.
So, yes...

Nice Mosier Jaxx! I picked up my first about six months ago. Great blade!

Thanks brother! It's one of two. I came across it by accident after lusting over it when he was making it. Didn't realize it went to a dealer and just happened to be browsing through his page.

As Jaxx said...Busse doesn't make folders yet....I can't seem to find a folder that will hold up to "me" abusing it. I think a Busse folder will fill that void.

That's a sweet one there. :thumbup: Love that grind & handle combo.
Yep, I dig David's knives quite a bit, happy as a pig in s...lop to have a few in the collection. :) He's a really good guy too, and always trying to improve.
 
I always buy other knives while waiting on Busse. Actually missed out on two Op2W offerings that I really wanted last year because I just didn't have the funds to burn by the time it came around.

I could've ordered them but I already had two orders out in Busse-land and I didn't know when those dings were coming. Ironically, I'm still waiting on one of the two dings, lol That's what I get for being responsible.
 
I just bought a Skinny ASH 1. Wanted to try the ASH 1 for a long time so this should be fun.

I also bought 2 Gransfors Axes last week.

I always buy blades, regardless if I have orders or not...i'm addicted.
 
I passed on most of the O2W offerings for multiple reasons; but did grab the Boom Parang, Gen 2 SHE (sold it), MS E BG, and, of course, the BB 13s.

But recently the family finances were looking better, so I was able to grab a ZT 0770GRYBW (Elmax!); and two CPK blades, the EDC and Light Chopper. Nathan is doing very cool stuff, and his relentless dedication to testing and improving the heat treatment of a given steel is much like Jerry's.
