I found this place while looking for a new knife.
My Cold Steel SRK was lost on our last camping trip.
(actually,I think my kid left it stuck in a tree!)
Searching the internet for a better knife,I came across
the Busse Family of knives.

Don't forget that you have to post pictures of your purchases!!!

You've got Steel Aquisition Syndrome.

There is no cure and the main side effects are a sore wallet and big smile.

congrats


keep buying is the only known cure

You got the Busse Bug M'man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> There's only one cure; buy more and more Bussekin blades until the desire ebbs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I only started buying them this past March while I was in Afghanistan, wanting a simple EDC that would be able to stand up to rigorous use. I started with the SS4 (still to date one of my faves). Then, I got a deal on a DFLE and a DMLE. After that, it's a blur; MPLEs, BDLEs, Tan YardKeeper, HCLE, Crash Axe, S6, ASH1, DFCG, Tan SODs, and so on.

I'm still searching for more and more of these amazing blades; I want a Rat Daddy, Chopweiler, CGFBM, NMFBM, JackHammer, GW, Skellys, another SS4, Yard Keeper, and Crash Axe...... I could go on and on but I think you're getting the point! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad you're psyched about the DLE; trust me, once you've got it in hand, you'll understand why so many love it. The balance, grip, weight.... it all combines into one well made go-to blade for anyone who knows anything about quality knife craftsmanship!

If you're going to be using it for some serious hacking/slashing, I might recommend having a convex edge put onto it. There are a number of threads on here on how to do it yourself (Usually by knowledgeable Dawgs like Horndog, Knifeguy, or Magnum22), either manually or with a belt sander. As many will tell you though; practice on something like an old lawnmower blade first, to get your technique down, before trying it on your good knives.

Anyway, congrats, and welcome to the addiction! We hold meetings roughly every 3 months, which coincidentally coincides with Dans' new releases...... Is there a connection? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Hmmmmm.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Only advice I can give is that when all these arrive you will have a knife of every required size....so use them and decide if you need more....no matter what you buy after that I doubt they will fit a niche not already covered...you have some great scores there!!

unemployment.

dfle rocks. if you don't agree when you get it, i can always use a spare.

I only have ordered my SOD so I have been good sofar but I know once its in my hands I'll probably have to get a second job after school.

Blah. Every time people get to waxing poetic about the DFLE, I have to comfort my DFCG to make it feel better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I wonder how "limited" the LE really is, when everybody and their mutt seems to have one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am in the " pause mode " ( I think) I bought 10 knives in two months and am going strong. I saw that Mod and thought about it- then the DFLE and thought on that- also looking at some BK stuff with scrappy and others over at BF- good grief we are an addicted bunch here !!

It never ends! You always want just one more...
