Scrappy, I think you got an excellent deal. I forked out another 60.00 more to get mine without a sheath. And I feel I got a good deal. The tag on it said 797.00. It is still unused (for now).
I have to say that the KZ is the first Busse that did not feel quite right. I do not have that many busse knives but, the ones that I have have all felt good in the hand. The KZ, seems to want to fly out of my hand when I swing it around. Granted, it's much bigger than my biggest bussekin (a swamprat battle rat). Actually, I just remembered that I have an AK too. But, that does not really count as a chopper ... or does it.
I'm still debating whether to use it and send it to Nate for be optimized or trade it for a FFBM or CGFBM.
One thing for sure, it's one impressive looking knife. I may just do the unthinkable and safequeen it for a rainy day.
Anyhow, good score.
And thanks for the review guys!!
