She was a Skinny lil' Ash,and i stripped her, but only half way, then i rub and rubbed untill she was smooth, that was a while ago but i still fondle her every now and again,a guy never forgets that first love..
 
I do. I love this knife. Like an Eames Lounge Chair (LCW), or a fine stainless 1911, both tool and art, superb form *and* function. Pure win!

My first Busse was a BATAC, with black blade, got it from Ikkyo. And after that, i never wanted anything else, just Infi.

my first love was a spyderco civilian. It still has one of the most wicked blades I've ever seen and I'd trust my life to it. I saw her in an old paintball shop and i knew i had to have her. Second is a CS safekeeper 1 although I was only able to see her at first thru a cataloge and on internet websites. It really wasn't till I got my hands on one (two actually) until I was able to fully appreciate all of her... attributes...


I have yet to see a Busse which I could 1==>afford and 2==>really wanted. They are nice knifes but I have yet to find the occation in which I would actually use it or be able to carry one. I'd be afraid that if I ever bought one, I'd never use it and it would just sit in a safe some place.

Yes, I do. A black/black standard CG Hell Razor from Skunk at the Company Store in June of '06. 42 blades later, with a Mean Street on its way (Thanks, Messer454) and 2 CG TankBusters on order, I've got it bad and that's real good.

Nice post. Tony G would be proud.
 
The first bit of INFI that really caught my eye and made me say I MUST HAVE THAT was the killa zilla. Before going into BLADE, I was mostly interested in the less expensive offerings from the Yard and Swamp, and I still am a huge fan of both companies, but that massive hunk of curved INFI chopper goodness just called my name. The sad thing is, I've so over extended myself on knife purchases recently that I might end up having to sell the zilla when my six months are up. Your first love, they always leave you and break your heart....

I've bought a few more bits of INFI here and there, and will still probably buy the occasional piece, but I'll have to get my student loans paid off before I even think about turning into one of those hogs with 50 INFI blades. I still need to buy food and clothes occasionally :eek:
 
Satin and snakeskin MrS from the Company Store. Sold off as part of my "no small blades" campaign. I still have #2 and 3, however.
 
Beautiful blade, Garth! :thumbup:

My first was a proto EDC. The build and finish on this blade was amazing! :)

I don't have that one any more, and there have been many since, but I have a very close relative. :thumbup:

How could I forget my first....the beauty, the heft....the shear perfection.....I could not believe the quality.......I could not put it down.
I got stupid one day and sold the dang thing in a moment of weakness....oh well...........sucks to be me sometimes.
here it is

My first was a meaner street from the company store. Black blade and snakeskin micarta. I still have it along with many other Busses I have acquired.
 
Got my first off the 'bay having no experience with the brand.
