"Normal" Busse Combat prices were as high as I could go. I went back to John Greco knives after my last Busse Combat purchase of two Red/Black Meaners. All things being equal, a Meaner or an AD is somewhat "better" than a Greco EDC. However, in the package deals that I was getting, EDCs cost me about $40 vs $247/$187 for my MrS/ADs, and those EDCs are quite nice, sturdy carbon steel knives (.200" thick 8670 steel blades) -- heck, they even come with a leather sheath. I don't regret buying my Busse Combat knives, but I don't anticipate buying more, and the Custom Shop blades have always just been too rich for my blood.

Some might disagree, but in Dumpster Mutt/RatManDu size or less, I'd rather have the thinner blade of a Swamp Rat knife. However, at Scrapper 6 or larger size, I'd prefer a Scrap Yard. I expect that I'll continue to look at Busse Combat knives, but I've got multiple FFFBMs, ADs, and Meaners, which were the models that most appealed to me, so from now on I'll limit purchases to Dogs and Rats unless something REALLY special comes up.
