I think the SAR8 is a terrific looking knife, but I'm afraid it's out of my reach. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The Bushwhacker Mistress also looks GREAT, but it will probably be too much for me as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> Congrats to those who can get them - they're awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is a slick looking knife but I try to buy things that I can actually use and I don't think I could bring myself to use such an expensive knife. Now that does not mean I am not drooling over the knife right now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't think I could bring myself to use such an expensive knife. The toughest part is putting the first mark on it. After that, it's pretty easy. I have some great pictures of abusing a knife that will retail for over 800 bucks, but I can't show them for a few more months <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think the SAR8 is a very good looking knife. If I had the extra $$$ lying around, I'd go for one. So far the only factory Busse LE I have is the HG55LE.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

You could probably pick up a Chopweiler, Camptramp and Dogfather on the secondary market for the same money....not much of a decision as far as I'm concerned !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yep. The SAR8 looks a little like the Bravo 2's big brother to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Heard about the Bravo-3? Bigger and made in 3V steel. Maybe. I wonder how 3V stacks up against INFI? I'm sure some of our resident steel experts can tell us. I would like to see the Bravo 3 come out but from what I read it's going to be limited and alot of $. Maybe they will make a Bravo 1 in 3v <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

INFI is still better than 3V !!!
3V is prone to chipping !

It looks like a nice blade but the only Busse I want at the moment is a Mistress. I got a SAR 5 from Jackell last week and I am really liking it thus far but that money is too much for me. I love my Yard blades!
Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust

3V is prone to chipping ! I don't know how we survived before all these "super" steels. 1095, 440C, 420HC, S7, and 52100 all seem to work fine for me if they have a good heat treatment. INFI is a fantastic steel, and I love my Busses, but honestly, I don't really need it most of the time. I have to pick and choose when buying Busses because of the expense. I have been saving up for a Bushwacker. Just exactly why I think I need an INFI camp machete, I can't say, but I want one. Maybe it's just to have the ultimate machete. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looks like a SAR8 Satin SE model is coming soon - possibly even tonight. I'm F5ing the Busse Company Store website after a hint from Skunk. I'm curious how much cheaper it will be. What I really want is a coated combat grade, but I'd settle for satin SE for the right price.
