I am a US citizen living in Australia. I have my knife purchases sent to my sisters house. Yesterday I got a package from her and my 1311 from Swamp Rat. What a red letter day!
Which one do I pick up first?
First impressions, SMOG, it a nice little knife. The rounded butt helps the short handle feel OK in my hand. It will be a good EDC.
RMD, better then I thought it would be. The handle is a little short for me. I bought it because so many people go on about the Ratmandu. I like it.
SJTAC, I think this is an underrated knife. Great value in the Busse line. Good long handle for a different adjustments on the grip. I like it a lot. Thanks Russ.
1311, Wow. Not much else to say. I am looking forward to using this beast. All my kids squealed when they saw this big black colossus.
Now the TGLB, I have never picked up a blade and immediately thought, I got to get another one of these. The balance is fantastic. The handle feels good in hand. It is kind of funny, the very first Busse I saw was via the Busse web site was the TGLB. I thought it was ugly. 6 mts later I have it in my hand and it might be my new best knife. I love this thing.
Guys I could not have done all this with out yalls input on this forum. Thank you and thank you Busse for your top notch work.
