I had some great scores this year...make that last year! Both busse-kin and other...
The Vex is great- between work/family it hasn't got the use it deserves. The Waki is pretty unique too- more of a toy at the moment...so I think my favs for this year are (in no particular oder):
Battle Rat- wowza...showed me the joys of choppers S5- just a special all rounder..Thanks Dan! Bandicoot- I'm loving this little sucker. It paid a little visit to the third world grind shop and came back silly sharp! Not the best woods knife, but it's mean like a rabid rat!
Won't chit chat about other brands, but got a GREAT folder recently too!!!
2009 was goooooooooooood for my steel collection!
Whatcha all think and hope we ll get some sweet steel in 2010!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> or in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" /> hah!

Every Busse family knife I own was purchased in the last year. (Actually more like the last 7 or 8 months).
It's hard to pick the favorite buys out of that list. From the ones I currently still have, I'd have to say the BWBM, NMSFNO, Vex, Regulator, S5LE, Smooth Bolt SJTAC....
Just about all of them are my favorites, actually. It's tough to pick just a handful.

I was pretty excited when they opened up the Regulator test team to the yard for a bit. I sold some other steel so I could get my hands on one.
I'd say that was my favorite buy of the year.

But if you're talking about bussekin, I have to say Waki. Not as practical as the S5 or Ratchet, but it brought back that feeling I got when I got my very first bussekin, the DMCG. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I started buying Busse family knives in early 2009. Each knife has qualities that make them a favorite of mine for certain tasks.
In 2009 I bought the following knives.
1 - SY Scrap Muk LE 1 - SY Yard Keeper LE 1 - SY Scrapper 5 CG 2 - SY Scrapper 5 LE 2 - SR Ratmandu 1 - SY Desert Dogfather 1 - Busse SAR 4 LE
Looking forward to 2010... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lets see,
2 S5's 1 S5LE 1 Vex 1 DDF 1 Waki 1 Skinny ASH 1 Gamewarden 1 Bushwhacker Mistress 1 SS4
On another note I bought a 22 conversion kit for my Kimber and had a Gunsmith touch up my old Savage.
I think I like that first S5CG the best.
