I don't plan to gather them all together for picture(s), but my current collection (including the S5 LEs on order) consists of 69 Busse Combats, 26 Swamp Rats, and 107 Scrap Yards -- I maintain an Excel spreadsheet to track them. Since I began collecting on 4/7/2007 (with my first purchase, an INFIcoot on the secondary market), I've spent over $37K, not counting after-market leather or kydex, on this hobby/mania/sickness (depending on who you ask). I may not go anywhere or do very much else, but I do collect.

That is a hobby/mania/sickness but I am sure your not even close to what some HOGs have collected. I would like to see all of those in a pile! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> and if you ever need some dough I'm sure they would sell well. (I doubt all could be users)

Nice pics Andy, a good looking group.
Actually, I wouldn't qualify any of mine as users. I carried a Swamp Warden at work for about a month, until my supervisor told me someone had complained that I had a weapon at work, so to leave it at home. However, it never got more of a workout than cutting open Mylar coffee bags, and a few others have minor Kydex rubs, but I don't have anything Bussekin that has been really "used" (unless you count one of my S5s that I made a minor handle mod to). Mostly, I unwrap them, look at them for a few minutes, then wrap them back up and store them. I store some in sheaths rather than wrapping them back up in paper -- I like the idea of being a woodsman better than the practice.
