What models of Busse/Swamp Rat/Scrap Yard knives do you need to own in order to have a complete collection? Obviously, this answer will vary. But in my view, you need to have AT LEAST four knives to consider your collection complete:
1) A chopper (e.g., Dog Father/Battle Rat/Battle Mistress) 2) A camp knife (e.g., Scrapper 6/Camp Tramp) 3) A fat-bellied skinner/slicer (e.g., Howling Rat) 4) A thin-bellied skinner/slicer (e.g., Street Scrapper 4/Bandicoot)
And possibly a fighter (e.g., Pure Bred Fighter/Satin Jack).
And at least ONE of those knives has to be manufactured by Busse Combat.
Do you agree? Do you disagree? What do you think you need to own to make your collection complete? In terms of a knife for every situation? If so, you're missing a folder; a dagger (SOG Pentagon to be precise). I'm sure there's more! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I read sometime ago that Busse was going to come up with a folder or something. What ever happened to that? About the SOG, its just my favourite style of dagger. Sorry I should of kept it to context. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Very good Question I agree with you on the 4 different styles of fixedblades and like bigocean pointed out you need a folder and I would say a Multi-tool as well (old school leatherman supertool for me) now dose that mean a "compleat collection" NO. if it did you would have no reason to buy more knives. So that may be a complet collection of "using knives", but you gotta have more than that. The whole point of a collection is that it is always growing with your whims, wants, and what the Yard has for sale also I think it is important to be expanding in to new areanas of knife, Just my 0.02.

But just imagine... if the yard were to make a light 5inch double sided dagger, with one fully serrated edge like the SOG Pentagon in polished satin (or coated for the tactical folks among us) SR-77 steel (or even better INFI <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). The kraton handle replaced with Resprene-C. That enough to bring a shiver to my skin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Just a thought...

There is no such thing as a complete collection. Its like alcholism. You're never cured completely.

I am with victor on this......there are soooo many knives and not enough money. But my "BASIC" collection would be:
AK for when the Zombies attack
DF Basic 9 FBM BM-E
Old Satin Jack BIBB HOGFSH
OFF Duty Meaner Street
I think that might hold me over till I think of some more!
EMail if you have a spare 460!!!!

You gotta have an AK. That was my first Busse.
