LMAO! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Good one, Rich. Micarta handles do seem to be the kiss of death for reasonably-priced Busse knives, all right.
Can't say I'd agree with that statement. Have you tried the new HRLM? It's seriously a lot more knife than the original HRs. The new handle makes a bigger difference than you would expect.
My first Swamp Rat is a HRLM. I absolutely love this knife. It is so right. No regrets on that purchase at all.
