That is what I do Bruce..........wait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />. But- I also pick up Rangers- Victronix- Spydies and a bunch of others <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Just to feed the addiction. I don't care that much for the higher priced Busse stuff. Looks more like a collectable to me. Just can't see paying the extra bucks as I simply do not see the performance being any better. look at the KZ- then look at the Regulator. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> I acn get a bunch of Regs for the cost of one KZ and better performance to boot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The BOSS street is a good deal for a Busse knife, probably one of the cheaper Busse Knives I've seen in a long time.

I prefer the High Street, which, while not as pretty or collectible as the BOSS Street, is thin enough to make a good slicer, has a useful choil, and cost $167 at Blade.

Now THAT'S value... a knife actually made for practical use, not aesthetics, that costs under two Benjamins.

you have the MPLE, MM?

That High Street was a steal at blade, especially for a satin blade. I heard the Boss Street was much cheaper at Blade West. What was the price of the Boss Street at Blade West?

I HAD a mud puppy, but sold it. It was too much handle for not very much blade, for the things I use a knife for.

The BOSS Street protos were pretty similar in price to the release version - but they were satin or DC while the release is CG, so the protos were a heck of a value. Still not as much of a steel as the High Street, IMHO.

Cost me about five bucks, and 15 minutes on the highway, and I proxy'ed for pretty much any established Dog who bothered to ask me. Wouldn't have been tough at all for anyone who wanted a high street to get one at that price.

What many folks seem to miss is that Blade isn't just to buy new knives - it's the chance to meet up with old friends. (at least, for MANY of us!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm really looking forward to Blade 2010 and meeting up with so many folks who post here on this forum, the Swamp, and Busse Combat. There are a LOT of great folks who attend the show! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
