The nice thing is, I've managed to amass some REALLY sweet blades (Busse and non-Busse) while sticking to my budget. My Busse family blades include a DFCG, an S6CG, a Camp Tramp, a YKLE (my one and only LE), and an RMD. I bought 'em all brand spankin' new. And even though I spent less than $200 on each one, I hardly consider myself deprived! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (Needless to say, I don't buy much off the secondary market. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> ) I'm convinced that ANYONE can put together an extremely serviceable Busse family knife collection containing everything from choppers to neckers while setting and keeping a sensible spending limit. All it takes is some discipline, patience and perseverence. The new Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat business plans make it easier than ever to consider your options. And buying Scrap Yard knives is a GREAT way to start. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I wish I could adhere to a spending limit, I find ways in my own sick mind to justify spending big money. For the longest time it was Scrapyard/Ranger Knives with an occasional SwampRat when I wanted to splurge, then I broke down and bought my first Busse (ASH 1) that still wasn't enough to derail my plan. Then I discovered Bark River and found that even though they are priced very reasonably, there were entirely too many models that I wanted so even though I would spend at or under the 200.00 mark per knife I gobbled up about 8 of them in a 6 month period. Then I moved up the financial food chain to Fehrman and the flood gates opened up for my Mistress and SFNO. Now I really need to slow back down and relax, hopefully Scrapyard will continue to put out more knives so my knife fix can be satisfied without making me homeless.

If I remember correctly it took a little while when the HCLE came out for Eric to send out confirmation emails and with the drought the Swamp has been in and as starved as people are I am sure his inbox is overflowing at the moment.

From what you fellas can tell from the blade design of the m9, how will it compare to a DogFather when it comes to chopping and other tasks? I am not familiar with the 0 blade grind or whatever it is, or how the shape the blades in general. I know it has been discussed before, but can anyone tell me the relative strengths and weakness of sr101 compared to sr77?
Thanks men!

Thanks men! The Busse NMFBM LE has the zero edge but it is INFI and with an almost 11" blade it is going to out perform a smaller blade. The zero grind bite green wood like a chainsaw! It's easy to maintain on a strop or the mousepad and sandpaper. I don't see where the steels will make any difference except the SR101 possibly being easier to sharpen than S77. The long clipped point may lighten it up a bit and move the sweet spot back toward the handle a bit but it will not suffer a loss in chopping ability. The DFCG is heavier than the BR and I imagine the M9LE so for some chopping chores it might excel if the edge is ground properly. I still love the RespireneC handle though.
If you're not pissed off you're not paying attention.

I still love the RespireneC handle though. +1 a properly done zero edge is going to out perform a secondary beveled edge any day of the week. They chew threw wood at a rediculous pace. Now if you had your CG DF sent to say Ban or Vic and had them convex it then it is another story alltogether..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
