This is the SY forum and mostly its about SYKCo knives, but I am sure that both Dan and Renee realize that other Busse-made knives also have appeal to us here. I prefer some Busses to some Scrappers, some Swamp Rats to some Busses, and some Scrappers to either. Price is always a consideration, and if I want something a little fancier than a rubber handle but with equal performance to a Scrapper but less expensive than a Busse, I go with the Swamp Rats. In big knives, so far I have not found one I prefer to the DFLE, but the M9LE and BWM are really close. It's good to have choices. It's hard when they all show up at once! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
