I couldn't resist being that it will be my first BC. granted its just the cg. but its mine, and the price hurt but better then what i have been seeing in the secondary market. so too late none the less.

I was going to buy one for my son but I decided on a fat ASH instead.

I am torn, I do want one. I usually buy every Busse model just to try it out and see if it fits me. I have skipped models in the past and held someone elses and kicked myself. So I usually buy one and if I dont like it I trade it for something else. MY problem with the TB is that its got the same handles the Badger TAC has and I did not like the handles. I did not like the Badger....too big to be a small knife and to small to be a big knife. Same went for the Satin JackTAC. Didnt like the handles.

The ONLY reason I may buy one is I can get it without a Choil and with a rounded but and those are two things I have been hoping for in a Busse. I may buy one and just reshape the handles if I do like the blade.....but it wont be right away. Like many others stated there are ALOT of things coming out right now so I can hold off on this one till Jerry says he's taking it down.
