Bld, I am with you on Spydercos...I have never found one I would carry because they are all so ugly! This is my opinion and I don't care how well they perform....I can't get past that giant hole in the blade and the overall design of them.

It's like driving one of those Scion Breadbox ( cars?) It may get great gas mileage and have the highest safety rating, but I can't get past the look of it.

Who made that nifty AK leather?
I like it a lot!
Currently, my AK is sporting the ever-fashionable cardboard pants.

I read sometime ago that Busse was going to come up with a folder or something. What ever happened to that?
The project went to Swamp Rat and the knife became the Rat Trap.
Wha'choo talkin' bout Willis??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Not sure where you got your info but no, the Rat Trap isnt a toss off project from Jerry. The Busse folder is a whole different animal, literally. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


At least my collection is never complete, its ever changing. I thought I was broke all the time before Swamp Rat came around, and now theres another wallet drainer!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

i was thinkin today that i'd trade most of my hardware for a single FBM. thus i was in the frame of mind to respond to the topic with "One." however, i read on a realized i'd need a finesse knife. the scrapyard ats34 shaker would have to round everything out. i'd need no more.

Ooo..me too. I hate those ugly things. My Dad says they look like a [censored] box with wheels.

No self respecting man should drive one of those! Could you see it, driving up to your hunting friends and getting out of one. Hehehehe.

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, 9"-10" (e.g., Dog Father/Battle Rat/Battle Mistress)

I have a bunch in this category - Battle Guard, Dog Father, and (while not technically in the family, more like a distant relative) a Ranger RD9.

Quote
2) A camp knife, 5"-7" (e.g., Scrapper 6/Camp Tramp)

I have a Camp Tramp. WOuld definitely buy an S-7 if Scrapyard releases one.

Quote
3) A fat-bellied skinner/slicer, 3"-4" (e.g., Howling Rat)

I have a howling Rat.

Quote

4) A thin-bellied skinner/slicer, 3"-4" (e.g., Street Scrapper 4/Bandicoot)

I have a Bandicoot and a Scrapper 4.

Quote
And possibly a fighter, 6"-7" (e.g., Pure Bred Fighter/Satin Jack/Mini-Mojo).

I don't think that's really necessary. Any of the above could be used for that purpose.

Quote
And at least ONE of those knives has to be manufactured by Busse Combat.

I'd love to get a "real" Busse someday, but the Swamp Rats and Scrap Yards are more in my price range.

Are you puttin' me on, Dwayne??? You mean to tell me that Busse Combat actually produced a folder and put it into production??? If they did, I must have missed it. Please post pics ASAP (other than this one, of course:)
There are no pictures of the yet to be released Busse folder, but plenty of people have seen and held on of the prototypes. Its safe to say that the Rat Trap isnt even close and wasnt intended to be a replacement for the Busse Folder.
