Ok so Busse Kin hasn’t made any that interests me for a long time but that sharpened I beam they are calling the Mega Ratweiler has definitely got my attention! How rust resistant is the ST101 comp finish? G10 or micarta for hard use? And finally who all is getting one?

I really like the looks of it, but .350 is too thick for me for that size of blade. A maroon micarta handle would really look sharp on whatever finish you may get.

Same here ... not much has appealed to me for a long time but the Fatweiler has caught my attention.

SR101 in CF is going to rust.

I’m considering a coated unit.

Looks like everything I wanted the Regulator to be but wasn’t.

I’m thinking black with black micarta or G10.

Both handles are fine for hard use.

ETA: don’t know if I want to pay $45 for the G10. It doesn’t increase the usefulness of the knife 15%.

Wish the Busse Brothers would just offer the classics (in SR101 and INFI) as standard / always available items.

ASH (don’t care which thickness but prefer LE)
AD or Mean Street
TG (don’t care which thickness or grind)

Scrapper 5
DF

I feel like these knives are the reason for the following, and the best knives in their respective classes.

No love for the DogFather???

Yeah, a 12 inch Johnnyweiler! Think about it.

Tom,
The DF is listed below the S4 and above The Son of a Dogfather.

Order was random.

The Dogfather is my second favorite Dog (behind the Scrapper 5).

I don’t regret selling most of the knives I sold but I do regret a couple . This is one of them ...





I really want a replacement DF in SR101 and I’d buy 4 or 5 Scrapper 5s for various kits, vehicles, etc.

I pulled out my Bussekin options and decided to pass on the Mega Weiler. I’d like an 8” Rat, but not at 0.350” thick. I also struggle with hot spots on the finger bumper Rat handles.

Here are my options (didn’t pull my Warden out of my survival kit):
