I stumbled onto Bladeforums @1999 or 2000. Shortly thereafter I discovered Busse and bought my first one (Basic 9)at a local gun show (lucky me) proceeded to beat on it and was blown away by how tough it was. Growing up I'd broken and bent many, many knives, something I won't have to worry about with the Dogs, Rats, & Busse's. The Scrapyard blades, remind me of my "first" beloved Busse, black on black with Res C handles. Reminds me, I need to order another black on black S5:)
