Which Bussekin knives are your Grail Knives .Whether you own em or not. I will start it off with just some of mine but I'm sure you guys can easily add. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Thought it might be nice for some of the new dawgs:
RMD
Ratweiler
Desert Jack- looking hard for this one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />!!
DFLE
S6LE
SS4
I'll stop there and add later. I left out the big Busse stuff but you guys have at it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> !! Thanks

Well, I just realized my year long lust for INFI last night with the S5LE. But other than that I would really like a Busse ASH at some point. But it will have to be a trade.

not that many for me, honestly...

Ergo Battle Mistress
Straight Handle Battle Mistress
Zero Tolerance Battle Mistress (noticing a theme here???)
Ergo Steel Heart
Aftershock Bolo


And another one that I should be getting soon in a trade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


Honestly, that looks like a large list, but some of them are pretty redundant - like, if I got a BM-E, I probably wouldn't care so much about the ZTBM or SHBM anymore.


I have basically every swamp rat or scrap yard knife that I really want - the SS4 is neat, but I've got enough 4" knives that it's not a must have, and the small knives in SR77 do nothing for me. As far as swamp rat, the ones I really want, like the Rat Mastiff Chopper, are models that were never actually produced.

I keep looking at this desktop Ted made with the CGFBM Muddy coat with Snakeskin handles.

That's my #1 right now.

But, I'd love a DFLE, M9LE and a Chopweiler.

This could be a long list, but these are the ones I REALLY want.

NMSFNO
Dog Father
SS4
Yard Guard
Rat Mastiff
ZTBM
NMFBM
BME
Chopweiler
Hell Razors

No really I exercised restraint!!!

Nice list Sumo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- I really like that RMD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would consider any big Busse, 10" blade or more, in 3/16" stock to be my grail knife. If INFI really is such great steel, and it is, why does Jerry insist on making his knives so heavy and thick? If a 1/8" thick 12" blade in 1095 holds up well for me, I'm pretty sure one in INFI would. A thin mistress is my Grail knife.

Zero Tolerance BM?
.187 I think.
And they have a luuuuverly spear point.

my current Busse Grail knives are"
Waki
RatWeiler
CrashRat
NMFBM
NMSFNO
these are the ones I currently own that I would never part with, I own other busse blades but these are the "super special" ones, if I had to pick just one it would be a toss up between the weiler and the waki with the nmfbm running a close 3rd

the S5LE will be on that list when it arrives

Would really love to get a Mastif or Rat Daddy, also a FFBM or FBM

Got my Grail knife.
Camp Tramp black/black sterile
Jeff made up a very skookum sheath for it, far better than I had imagined.
The picture that fired my imagination. Got the knife, got the fishing rod
now have to get the fish.
