After a lot of soul searching, I've chosen my path on this topic. I'm going to be a user with some knives that might not actually get used. I'm aware this sounds stupid. Allow me to explain:

I'm looking for the perfect knives for a variety of "knife needs" that I perceive to exist. Since you can't buy Busse(kin) locally you have to purchase a knife to figure out if you like the fit, feel, balance, blade geometry, etc. Therefore, from this point forward I'm only going to buy knives that I think might be the best (or better than what I currently have) for one of my perceived "uses". Once I receive the knife if it indeed meets my expectation I'm going to put it into use and sell whatever it replaced. If I'm not sure, then I'm going to wait to see if I find something that might be better.

Summarily, I'm going to be downsizing my collection SUBSTANTIALLY. I have a bunch of Busse and Kin that I bought because they were "the best" at the time or because I just liked them. I'm also going to let go of my unnecessary duplicates. To that end, I'm letting go of some good stuff to include:

Busse: Leaner Meaner, BA TAC, Terror Monkey Hell Razor, Team Gemini LB, ASH Battle Mistress, Tank Buster, Axe Hammer.

Scrap Yard: Dogfather, Scrapper 6, Son of a Dogfather.

Swamp Rat: Warden, Vex, Ratmandu, Infimandu.

I just can't justify keeping everything I have - especially considering I have duplicates of most of these. Its been a tough decision, but in the end I need to shrink my collection. I have a feeling I might regret this decision down the road, but for now it appears to be my best option.
