KnifeGuy, excellent posts! Very imformative and thorough, thanks again. I had a HR and sold it, again I made some money and it just wasn't my cup of tea although a great knife.

The plan now I guess-I'm so confused- is to wait for a release of another CGFBM or DF/DFLE. Then again as was pointed out I could just grab a decent machete for 30 bucks. But alas, I don't have a single Busse at this point. Just Rats and Dogs for this guy. So maybe a NMSFNO would be a good companion to the DF/FBM if I can ever find a deal on one. Secondary market prices are usually more than I can bare unless you stumble upon a user or someone looking to trade.
If I had more Strider folders I have found they are often the subject of request amongst Busse knife users.

The CGFBMs deep belly has always been appealing to me. The company store has those NMSFNOs just sitting there tempting me though.
