Yes, Congrats on graduating. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> we were all concentrating on the knife questions and missed that part. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Boss! HOPE THE YARD HAS BEEN WELL SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE FIELD!

I think I will stick with the DMCG for my combat/field knife. its pretty much everything i could need in a knife.. But the TB seems cool and like a great well.... TANK BUSTER!

Yo Tuck! Long time no hear man, I was wondering about you a while back and put out a feeler to see if anyone had heard from ya. Glad to hear you are doing pretty good. I didn't think you would be in schools THAT long a time, boy, military education has changed a lot from my time. Oh and by the way, I don't think Dan will change the DM name, I mean after all, How many knives would he sell with the name of BUTTER BAR!!!ha ha hee hee <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> BTW, congrats on your schooling, sounds like you're on the right track.

Hey, I just notice, I finally hit 250 posts and I be a mongrel now.

congrats and take a look at the S5, it's a great knife.

Hey Recon, congrats on gratuating. As far as the tank buster, it is an excellent knife, it is bigger than you expect (more like a Scrapper 6 in size) but it is a beast. I can't imagine the wait time to be too long now since they probably don't have a huge rush of orders. You may even be able to contact Amy, a lot of times they have cancelled orders and have a couple already made up lying around. Regardless she would be the person to ask as far as wait time but like I said I am guessing not too long.
here are a couple pics of mine to give you size comparisons, next to my NMSFNO and in hand. Let us know what you decide and post some pics.... oh yeah, quit changing your screen name bro, it is confusing... LOL

Looking at my Hell Razor and the pictures of the TB, they look very, very similar. The blade size and thickness are the same I believe, not sure about the width but it looks similar. Mine has the tang modified to a skull crusher point but it does look different than the TB skull crusher. The HR and Skinny Ash have some similarities but the HR and TB look like different variations of the same knife. In fact, I think I am going to buy a TB without a choil and in a different color than the HR. I think I will receive almost the same knife as the HR but just with different options that I would prefer.

The HR is not light but is definitely not FSH/NMSFNO big and heavy. It feels good and fast in the hand, as I suspect the TB will.

Compare this to the TB:
My HR

Picture from Jerry Busse in this thread: (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=660991):


The TB doesn't have blood grooves or CBT and the front edge of the handle is different. Also, the skull crusher is different and the blade shape is just a little different where it transitions to the point. But the knives do have similarities. I think they both would make nice multi-purpose mid-size knives.

It's kind of funny, at first I was dead set on finding a HR for my first Busse. The handle shape looks well suited to use in all four different grips (Blade up/down edge in/out).
Then the TB comes out, virtually the same handle, a utility oriented blade profile, and NO CHOIL!
Needless to say, I had to have one...

Congrats there Tuck. I skipped the TB, mostly because it is a size that I don't prefer and would rather have a Hell Razor.

did they make any Hell Razors with out the corrugated bevel? Maybe it will grow on me, but from a purely aesthetic perspective I'm not diggin' the CB. Same goes with it on some of the FBM.
