The only 154CM blades I've owned was a pair of Benchmade Fixed Griptilians. I was not even remotely impressed by those knives. It really didnt' have anything to do with the material though - I hated the "flat" feeling grip design.

Another small (3.5" x .125" ???) 154CM from the Yard would most certainly find its way into my collection.

About three weeks ago my wife was struggling with her Cutco Kitchen knives so I pulled out my HD convexed UM and finished the job. After dinner (while cleaning up) my wife commented on how she likes using her S5 and my UM for food prep while camping. Later that night she mentioned that when we need new kitchen knives we should go all Bussekin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

No, all she needs is the HD edge. BTW, there's nothing wrong with Cutco's 440A steel. But I must admit, my 16 year old daughter worked for "Vector Marketing" this past Summer, selling those over priced cheap a$$ knives! A set of SYKCO kitchen killers would be awesome. I want the Psycho "Shower Scene" Chef Knife first.

My wife's Cutco's are from her selling them during college. I looked online after we started dating, and her Cutco's were in the same facility as Ka-Bar. Or at least the addresses were the same.

I'm not impressed by them, and am certainly not going to pass up an opportunity to add some "needed" Busse steel in the future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> . When we first dated she thought really highly of the Cutco's, but after I introduced her to my first Bussekin (S5CG's) she very quickly realized that those things she sold were massively overpriced junk. She has since claimed two of my S5's, and my only SOD.

Vic - massive +1 on the SYKCO Kitchen Killers! Heck, I'd go door to door selling those. "Excuse me ma'am, would you like a set of kitchen knives that could be used to cut through your cast iron sink if necessary?". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I just received my pre-order confirmation email from the Swamp. It says 4-6 weeks for shipment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> .

Gary, me too!

Got mine too. Now I need that email from LMIW.

I know, LMIW has a few things my DFLE and B11 could use. I am ready to see what I have so I can configure a pack, a PSK, etc. I would love LMIW to do a run for the Yard too as my DFLE would not ride in a sheath that has a hog but a DOG patch.

I would like a "Hedgehog" sheath for my Regulator. Shorter and fatter!

I found myself ogling the 870 in the background more than the knife, lol... I'll have to pass on this one.

I guess we will know "soon".

It's not bad, but I'd had to grind off that top guard if I got one.
