What am I in for guys?
I've heard nothing but good about them as far as quality goes. They're out of my price range for the most part plus if your looking for a special knife the wait times can be long.
What are you getting ? [Beer]
The Team Gemini Light Brigade.
Total impulse buy while watching Walking Dead....
Look like nice knives. The Busse board, on Blade Forums, is loyal. A little too expensive for my tastes.
Nice knife-post some pics when it gets here [Beer]Quote:

Check out the video of this guy trying to destroy one. This guy buys knives and destroys them with a battery of testing. No other knife has ever gone as far as a Busse.

Enjoy it[Beer]
I have had two busse knives for 15 years now. I hands down believe them to be the best knives out there! What wolfen said. Having said that I EDC a Emerson pocket knife and get more use out of that, I enjoy spending money on things I get use out of everyday! If Jerry would just make a pocket knife already!!!

I'll definitely post some pics. The wait kills....
I know right? Might raise a few eyebrows. Thanks for posting the video, I enjoyed watching it.
No problem. I'll tell a little story about how ridiculously tough Busse's are.
I met Jerry Busse a very long time ago. At one of the Blade shows late evening after the show we are all sitting in front of the Hotel near the Fountain drinking scotch and smoking cigars and Jerry tells the story of the day he received a broken knife for warranty replacement. He opens the box and he can hardly recognize what it is because it is all smashed up like someone hit it for 30 minutes with a jackhammer. Well he did recognize it as an original production Straight Handle Battle Mistress. So he calls the owner of the knife and talks to him and says that he will replace the knife, however, he wishes to know what exactly the guy did to the knife to leave it looking so horrible but still in one piece. The guys says that he was having a party at his house(you can see where this is going) and he was telling his friends how the battlemistress is the toughest knife on the planet. His friends don't believe him so after some drinking he tells them that he is going to replace his concrete driveway since it is very old. So he tells his friends, "lets go outside and break up the concrete with the knife and a sledge hammer." So they go outside and the proceed to break the entire concrete driveway with the sledge hammer hammering the knife into the concrete. They were successful. At the cost of one battlemistress that was covered by the warranty. I told Jerry I would not have covered that kind of stupidity, but he said the warranty was unconditional.
Then there is the guy that threw his straight handle battlemistress into a wood chipper and stopped it. No damage to the knife. After watching that video above, these stories are believable.
They are good companies. For more affordable blades look at the sister companies SwampRat and Scrapyard. The Biggets problem is Busse and Busse-Kin are additive. Darned good knives though.
I couldn't have guns when I worked in Kuwait (2000 - 2002) so I bought knives. At the time I had one of every Busse knife. Today I checked them out on ebay. One seller has two knives that I have, a battle mistress for $1000 and a natural outlaw for $900. I must have at least $6000 worth of Busse's sitting in a foot locker in storage.
What do you currently have? I've been looking for a smaller model lately
Just ordered another one.... Crapp

Very cool. I want one.
Am I the only one who was excited to see this knife in the newest "Resident Evil" movie? I must have hit the rewind button ten times trying to see if really was a Scrapyard Regulator.Quote:

Wow the blue handles are sick! Nice knife. You ordered another one? Already?
Well my first one was a TGLB with a jungle green blade and black handles. This one is a blasted blade with black/blue g10 handles. The. I got a Meaner Street.......fun stuffQuote:

Add me to new Busse customers. Just picked up a Game Warden and Sarge 7 off the bladeforums website. Team Gemini Light Brigade and Anniversary Mean street are also on order from Busse direct.

You end up picking up that Culti?
Nope, I actually got a skinny game warden
Good choice. I picked up a standard game warden. It will make for a very nice skinning knife.
Looks like an awesome knife (I did some Google searching). It's got my second favorite blade shape. Looks like those Busse's are near indestructible.Quote:
