Your first busse?

First was a cord-wrapped "apprentice" Mean Street, but with the (oversize) front talon hole intact. The other 5 on the table had theirs ground off.
I'll dig it out or see if I have a pic already. GOT IT!!

Opened the door to a SHII, then, well, you all know the slippery slide...

>> Check that talon hole size, both front and back...!?!?!?! <<

BA's are what's missing from my collection.
I would like to get a SHBA as well as an ergo.

My first was an old school boss jack proto.
I bought it from LK! :barf:
Love that knife!

Old School straight handled Battle Mistess. So Old it didn't have the Busse lazer etched logo on it. Was delayed when Jerry stuck a bolt thru his hand.
 
Got a Busse Basic 7 and Basic 9 from AG Russell around 1999-2000. Still have the invoice around somewhere.

And there you go again, wanting us to check out your holes. Dirty bastard :p

You going to bring that to show and tell next Friday? Let all us piglets see the knife that started it all for you? :D
 
NOE and Original AD users for $175 total from a shady guy in a bar parking lot in 06. I know the guy and who he bought them from. But that doesn't make him any less shady.:D:cool:
 
My first was bussekin, a scrapyard 711 followed by a son of dogfather and a scrapivore,,,
Just bought a ratmandu and waiting on my tglb to come in, in a month or so,,,,this is addicting as hell, but I have to admit there is no substitute for quality!! Sold off a ton of my becker collection to start moving up in the world!! I love my beckers, but nothing will replace my bussekins and busse tglb!! A new and serious addiction has started!!
 
Saw a video review of a SAR 4 and thought, "man, that is the most beautiful knife I've ever seen."

Fast forward about a year, and I manage to snag a SAR 3 off secondary market - much smaller than I had imagined, but the build was awesome.

Two weeks later I landed a SAR 4 LE - and that was all she wrote. What a sexy chunk of steel. I will die owning my SAR 4 ...

Currently own only 3 Busse / Bussekin knives, but I am committed to rectifying that situation a little bit at a time &#8230;

What got me started was a Scrapyard Deregulator. First Busse bought was a FFBM. First Busse bought from Busse was a TGLB.
 
Badger Attack LE. I still have it, although I left it in the States since I'm stationed in Okinawa right now. I ordered it a few months before I was deploying, and Busse was cool (as standard) and bumped my shipping to the head of the line to make sure I got it before I left. Was very much appreciated.
 
Picked up a Sykco 511 + Scrapivore piggyback combo from Gooeytek last month, love those two little suckers. On the way is a new RMD from the shop and a MBC from the trading forum.. I think I've got a problem..
