well now, if someone were to GIVE me an R9 to care for, I certainly wouldn't kick it out onto the streets <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I'm a fan of the R9. I've got big hands and it fits nicely. It does look a bit strange, but it locks in just right.

i cant help but fell the R9 is a bigger knife thant the 911. when they are side by side the R9 is bigger and it just feels bigger in the hand. the B10 also feels alittle bigger but also lighter and faster in the hand than the 911. i cant help but want a third user b10 since my other two are safe queens

While i am new to the whole Bussekin thing (just ordered a 911 a few weeks ago), i have to say that i looked at a Rodent 9 and a 911 and just couldn't get past the handle. That was what ended up being the deciding factor in ordering a 911 instead of a Rodent 9.
I read enough people on either side of the fence to make me feel like i would be happier with the 911 instead of taking the risk on not liking the way the handle felt. I will probably pick one up at some point, but it will likely be after a 311, 711 and several INFI blades i have my eyes on.

I really am a big fan of the R9. It has a nice balance to it. Plus, I am able to get about 3 really good hand positions on it.

That it does. I was comparing it to an Uncle Mojo, and it has much better balance. It locks in nicely.
