Your first Busse

First was a cord-wrapped Mean Street Apprentice that still had the talon hole (oversized) still intact. There were 6 others on the table, but this was the only one with the intact talon hole.

It's the bottom one in this pic.

Who'da known that $100 would lead where it did...

FBMLE was my first.... She's still here too ;)
 
All my "firsts" overlapped a bit. Had a Scrapizashi on order, went to Blade 2011, had a BOSS Jack CG on order too. At Blade scored a CABS 1 of 5 piece. Had the two Busses and the Scrap all about the same time. Ordered a RMD CG too.

But my "first" that I owned outright in-hand was the CABS I got at Blade.

Scored my first in a dark parking lot of a shady beach bar. It turned out to be my first Busse, first knife I ever spoke to Jerry about, first stripper, first ghetto satin attempt, first handle removal and first re-handle.
All that and I'm only into it for $75. I love this knife!

My 1st was a LMS. It was my EDC at Blade last year.

My first order was an original Howling rat. Ended up finding a bandicoot on eBay while I was waiting. Loved both of them. Ended up parting ways at some point. First real Busse was from lundes big warden sale. Got the satin red game warden. It is a sweet knife. Love the thinner busses.
 
My first was SJTAK, CG, tan blade, snake skin handles. I called BUSSE and begged for it. They built it and I got it.

first busse I got was from the Great Western Gun Show in pomona, CA. Got it from a seller, not Jerry and it was a first Gen Steel Heart. ATS34 I think. Funny thing was that I was looking for the newer A2 version and bought that one thinking it was A2. When I found out it was not I sold it and found an A2 later model, the one that I had seen in Tactical knives mag in 1996 I think. I did not know anything about Busse at that time. The first knife that I actually bought from busse was a mean street, SHII and SHBM. All in one order took 8 months to get them.
