I'm also OK with never owning a Battle Mistress. It's just more knife than I'd ever need or use. For that matter, the Dog Father is more knife than I'll ever need or use. But the price was right, so I couldn't resist.

If I was going to buy a Busse knife, I'd get an ASH-1. Can you imagine the beating noss would have to give that .320"-thick beast to break it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
