Just In

This is my first Muddy anything, and this one is a Chopweiler, YEAH!

I think the dropped point and the weiler handle make for a great looking knife.

Congrats on the muddy goodness.

ooohh looks muddy

Very nice; now you just need to get it some pants and a nice lanyard.

Nice piece of steel!

Don't you love how that knife feels in the hand? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Congrats, Shaolin! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've got one exactly like it, except that the brown coating is all scratched up on mine now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I love playing with that Chopper... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Very nice Chopweiler, Shaolin. Looks pretty clean for a muddy knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I love that Muddy look! That table that the knife is resting on is mighty nice too.

Sweet!

I've been eying the Muddy Chopweilers myself.

I've missed a Muddy FBM and a Mud Razor by minutes.

I've been looking at a Mud Skinny ASH-1.

A Mud Razor and a Mud Chopweiler would be cool.

Excellent grab.

Congrats Shaolin! The Chopweiler is an excellent chopper despite it's small size.

Thanks, it does feel really nice in the hand, well balanced.

Congrats Shaolin. The Chopweiler is a Classic! Although, unlike Kraz, I don't consider it so small. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Kraz must be playing with a FFBM or Rat Daddy a lot lately or something (???).

Congrats on the chopweiler. I've never handled one before, and I've always wondered if the palm hump is uncomfortable. I do like the muddy!

Congrats. Ya know, I still haven't used my RW or CW yet. I've had them for months. Every time I need a chopper, I go for the DFLE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on a great score! I always felt that the Camp Tramp should have had a point like your Chopweiler. I handled one at Blade, and the C/W felt just great. Still sorry for not getting one then! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Wonder no more....the ChopWeiler handle is awesome !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It really is, I like the curve in it.

I concur. I love the Chopweiler. It was my second Busse-kin purchase.

I'll be honest, I haven't been out and beaten on it but I love the feeling of it. So much so that I've been looking for the Muddy or the Sage to add...

Bring on the Scrapweiler!!!!!!!

Most folks really like those handles, but they didn't feel quite right to me. I didn't care for the way that the top of the handle descends as it approaches the blade. I prefer a straight top handle, and can tolerate some swell in the middle, but just couldn't make myself like that style where the widest part of the handle is at the back.

Still, it looks good; I have several muddies and like that color combination.

Man, I LOVE that concept knife!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Everybody's hand size and shape and gripping style is ever so slightly different. I wonder how many copies the Busse family could sell if they sold bare blades for the custom handle makers.

Rainwalker is probably the #1 choice among most in the Yard for sheaths -- he does great work.

I recently bought a Damascus Nessmuk made by Ariel Salaverria. One of the features that sold me was a Damascus beaded leather lanyard that came with it. I checked and, while they aren't currently available, he makes Damascus and Mokume beads as jewelry, so I got on the list to buy a few lanyards from his next run. Hopefully, he won't mind me linking to one of his pictures:

I might just tie a piece of paracord on it though, we'll see. Definitely Jeff will do some pants for it.

That's a ripper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice chopweiler!
That is the same color combination I have.
It is my favorite big Rat knife, well, other than the Satin BR.

rooikat, I know you like tan, lol

I nearly ordered the sage blade, but the muddy just looks so darned cool.

Man, I love the look of those beads; I'd like to get some of them for my own lanyard designs.
