Yah- the S5s are the best lookin so far for sure. At 100 bucks per pop a guy can get 5 or 6 and do well. Hell of a buy IMO. These do look nice at 99 a pop so might get some as soon as in store. It looks like Busse is moving around a bit on steel which I really think is great. Makes for a more well rounded collection. Good looking knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't really care that much about D2 steel. I've just never really liked it a whole lot. And I agree with Ordawg1... I think the S5 is the best-looking smaller knife right now out of the S5, the Vexillaris, and the SAR4.

I am thinking the Vex will be in the store at like 99 bucks which is still a great knife. The Waki might be in short supply and I haven't a clue of what the price might be ? Maybe 350 or so ? Anybody that hasn't stocked up on S5s better do so cause I am bettin they will pull em. That is gonna be one hell of a fine knife in 101 with mudders. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I know Mike Stewart refuses to make knives out of D2 although I'm not entirely sure why that is. I hear D2 is prone to chipping out and perhaps that's the reason. On the other hand, I've never heard anyone complain about the performance of their D2 Bog Dog and Bob Dozier ("Dr. D2") has built his entire reputation on that alloy. So I'm not sure what to think about D2. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> D2 is OK in a smaller blade like this IMO. I have been mixing my customs with 3 V ( which is purely heaven) and ATS just to broaden my collection. I am thinking around 99 bucks on these Bruce- but you might be right. Graet looking for kitchen or gifts is what I am thinking. They sure kinda look like a Dozier and you are right about no complaints. Doc D is also pricey as hell- but probably worth every penny. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Jimmie has a few and I ran into his apprentice at the Eugene Knife Show. Great looking steel I must say. You should head up this way next yaer and I'll buy you and the wife dinner. I think you would really enjoy yourself. Hopefully Jimmie - Dave and maybe even Justin Gingrich will make it out next year. You are always more than welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hey MC !! Won't be at Blade West. I am in the bottom of Grand Canyon the whole month of September and part of October !! There is a big show in Las Vegas in January I think ? It is a big knife/ gun show and I think I will be there. Want to do that big [censored] zip line @ Boulder City and play in Vegas as well. Eugene is in April and it is VERY elite knifemakers. You would love it. Would be fun to get Bruce and a whole bunch up here !! Are you in Vegas ? Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
