im loyal to ONE type of knifemaker. Busse. the end. whether its dan, jennifer, or jerry. the busse family makes MY line of knives. all i ever buy. i happen to own more SY thank any others bc they are the cheapest and i love my some SR77.

Scrap Yard & Swamp Rat here.

I only own SR77 and SR101, but would buy Scrap Yard INFI.

Busse Combat products are great, but I've tested a few of a my SYKCO & SRKW knives well beyond anything I would ever expect from them in the field and outside of some finish wear....they're as good as new. Therefore, I just don't have a reason to buy anything else.

The SRKW products I own are: Chopweilers, RMDs, Rodent Solutions and Wardens. If the Scrapivore would have been available when I was buying my Wardens I would have went with the better priced SYKCO product. My Chopwielers and RatManDus are my "go to" knives though. I very highly doubt they will ever be replaced.

My favorite knives are:

Small = Scrapivore or Warden
Medium = Scrapper5 or RMD
Medium Large = Chopweiler
Large = Dog Father

The only Busse product that has REALLY interested me is the recently released Basic 4. I like the deep belly, and short blade ... just looks practical. I'm not completely satisfied with my Rodent Solutions, and am looking for a replacement. However, at those prices I'll wait to see what the SYKCO 411 looks like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Forgot to mention....

I'm trying to move from "collector & user" to only "user". This influencing my selection heavily.

Have you had a chance to check out a SW HRLM?
It has the same short stout blade of the Basic 4 with the RMD handle!
I love it.
I haven't bought the Basic 4,yet, due to unexpected Christmas expenses. Oh, I am also looking forward to the SYKCO 4-11.

Just Yard and Swamp for me....I find most of the Busse's very ugly and far too expensive !

I really wish that the Yard and Swamp would stop including the choils on their knives though. I can't understand why they are so keen to keep including these,especially on their smaller models. I thought for a while that it might be cheaper for some reason due to the rubber ( Res-C handles ) but Falkniven and Cold steel both use rubber handles and don't include choils so I'm a little stumped !!!

I have them all. I still wan to grab a rmd or rmdx AR some point. remember seeing a all black hrlm with black torx screws instead of tubes and really like that. also the rodent solution really looks a good one to have.

I have the a mojo which is a grail knife and even though it gets some light use it is more collector than user. and I have my jackhammer which is my all arounder.

they most used knives I own are my mudders. kitchen and utility duty and even though the INFI is great it seems that 154cm is prefect for my uses. hope Dan brings a few more surprise LE's in 2012.

I collect all three brands; some of my Busse Combats and Swamp Rats are even custom shop knives, although most are CGs and Military Overruns. I must maintain a spreadsheet to keep track of them and my current BC/SR/SY counts are 105/63/159 respectively.

I've been trying to pull back on knife-buying for a while, but have fallen off the wagon with three S3V rampless Bravo-1 Barkies and several customs this month; Bad Jim, bad... (the sound of a rolled up newspaper swat). Seriously though, with one possible exception, the knives I bought this month weren't going to stay available for long.

Go figure


I lean heavy on the ScrapYard Line LOL

Well I'm new to Busse and Busse Kin knives . But I've already bought a Basic 6 and have a Sykco 511 on the way . I was actually looking for a Scrapper 6 when I found the Basic and since I couldn't find a Scrapper I bought the Basic . Now I see a Scrapper 6 for sale on that big auction site but the price is near what I got the Basic 6 for , so I'm good . All that said , Scrap Yard seem to be a great value for such well built knives and I'm quite sure that now that I have my Busse INFI fix I'll be playing in the yard from now on <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

We have a good time over here...so enjoy

Dan

Thanks Dan , I have found the dogs to be a pretty friendly pack here in the Yard . I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone AND buying more Scrap Yard knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I passed on those when they were being offered. At the time I didn't see a need for a 4". Now I'm finding that an anorexic 4" is about as practical for "daily stuff" as a knife can be.
