Great looking knife . Congrats ! I know how you feel I just got my Basic 6 #189 today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> , now I get the whole Busse thing . They really ARE a thing of beauty . They have great attention to detail and fit and finish . The handle feels great and I can't wait to take it for a test drive like you did . Enjoy that beauty !
