Yes, after resisting the cult for over two years, it occured to me that while not a huge Busse Collector, I check out every new offering, and if I like it a lot, and can afford it, I get it. I have had some serious differences with some of the Busse forum members in the past for what I perceived as elitism, but for the most part, the Hogs seem like pretty good folks to me, and a few have helped me out on occasion. I think that sometimes I just took things much too seriously. It's about fun and enjoying a knife brand that many think is the best. I can't honestly think of any brand of fixed blade that is superior to Busse, and there are some fine ones out there. So the Horn Dog goes over to the the Dark Side, but I'm still a Junk Yard Dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
