I've been snagging a few lately and I figured now is a good time to post a few pics of what I have gathered up thus far. So... I got the Busse Mr. Mojo and a red G10 Swamp Rat Vexillarius (Vex) for my sister in today. Last week I got a in a Hairy Carry LE. I hope to piggy back this with my M9LE. Wanted this one since I held Clint's. Here's the Vex and HCLE together. I really like the vex but it's not for me. Stupid sharp with a nice convex... The only comfortable holding position for me is from the choil but the HCLE can be held all handle or choked up very comfortably in my hands. I'm glad I didn't get a Vex for myself after having a chance to hold the two. I will post some comparison pics in the thread. The big boys... Could say a lot about these two but I really like them both. The ergo handle is sweet on the Mojo and this one is shaving sharp with a factory edge. The M9LE is a beast. I'm going to have to talk myself into using the Mojo because it's a little nicer than I thought so I'm thinking about leaving it alone for a while. Even though I'm a recurve fan there was no way I'd pass up on the M9LE. Still my biggest knife until the Waki or a Battle Mistress. Maybe a Battle Mistress recurve prototype... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> My first Busse was a JackHammer. The Mojo and Jack Hammer are two very different style knives and I'm happy with both. My Yard Hook actually seems to fit right between what these two knives are made to do. And here they are together... I keep feeling like I'm missing one. Nope that's it... Ohh wait... If anybody sees Tolly then plese tell him to check his PM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for looking!!! SCRAPPER 5 and WAKI!!!!!!!

I love every one of the new scores - the HCLE and Mr. Mojo are both cool looking as all heck, and I love the M9LE and Vex that I have.
I find the handle on the vex to be perfect - the lack of any kind of guard puts your hand right next to the cutting edge. Fantastic for food prep type jobs. Just cut up a pear with mine, in fact <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think I am going to send my HCLE off to Bark River and have a wicked convex put on it, that is the only knock I have. A little ironic story here, when I ordered my HCLE I ordered 2, the first one I got was #8 and I ended up selling it, well low and behold my M9 is due to show up today and you guessed it #8.... would have been nice to have a matching set. Anyway back to my thoughts on the HCLE other than the edge it is a really nice knife but the edge on it is horrible, if I can have a nice wicked edge put on it the blade will instantly become very useful. BTW Lazi, excellent pics, really nice collection you have going

Lazi,
That Mr. Mojo is an excellent looking knife. I'd be torn about using it too. It just looks too "purdy" to be used.
I would advise you to hold it in reserve, use the M9 until you break it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> then use the MMojo.

LOL... That's exactly what I started thinking DotD. I'm sure I'll find a reason but I don't guess I'll looking for one just yet.
Thanks guys.. Can't wait to add the s5 and Waki to the pics. Oh there's one a SR Mojo I hope to catch up with.
And after seeing the vex I really think a convex on the hcle is gonna be sweet.

the rat mini mojo is very cool - love that SR101 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Bit heavy for its size, but it's got a comforting beefiness to it. Good choice for a shorter knife that you need to be capable of some serious beating. Plus the recurve is just sexy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The mojo is a nice little knife - it chopped a lot better in my test than it did with the factory edge. I was forced to convex it after the masonry nail incident <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Considering how poorly the NMSFNO performed, the mojo was a champ for it's size. It also does darn well at tasks like batoning and brush clearing.

didn't know you had convexed it. what did you use and did you notice anything different about doing a recurve? i'm going to use my yard hook some and when it's time i want to put a convex edge on it.

I convexed it with a mouse pad and sandpaper - the recurve is definitely a pain in the butt, and harder to sharpen. I kept the pad/paper right at the edge of the table, so I was able to roll the knife over the edge and reach the inside of the curve. It took a long time to do by hand <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

i figured it was something like that mm... i always seem to fall for the difficult ones with nice curves. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
i think i will try the mouse pad approach when it's time. hopefully this one will be worth the effort.
