good lord i cant wait to fondle that 17in of INFI..........that almost sounded wrong for a second didnt it.

the HOLY GRAIL of my knife collection it shall be.

.........next up????......THE BEARCUB,and whatever dans throws in the dish although i'm a little stuffed right now with the NMFBM being such a big meal but sense when has a dog turned down food?i've heard they would eat until their stomach exploded if they had unlimited supply of food in front of them.pretty much what i do with knives just except instead of my stomach exploding its my financial situation.

i am so curious to see how this thing handles and feels compared next to my FFFBM.

Thats good news. I will check my account to see if I was charged yet.

Good for you, post pics.

Come on Dave - tell us how you REALLY feel! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats N1! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Looks like next week will be quite interesting for several of us. I wonder who'll get theirs first? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I will be in Arkansas until Thursday. I will be miserable waiting. May have to visit Dan Koster to get my mind off of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Hey that wont work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Cheers. I can't wait to be banged...

Have a safe trip CP. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

At least you'll have something to really look forward to when you get back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yea, my thoughts exactly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Congratulations bud. ENJOY that big piece of INFI!!!

now THAT is funny!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[color:"blue"]There went $811.95 straight up to Wauseon (Spell check wants to change it to Nauseous). Sweet Amy-0 let me know that after getting my order in the first 94 seconds I scored NMFBM LE #14. WOOOHOOO! [/color]

Congrats on the #14 mhawg - I'm sure it's a beauty! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> As tempted as I was, I could only go for a CG version. But I'll love it anyway!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

maybe next time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

wow,i forgot how much them LE's cost compared to the CG's.almost double.i'm curious about the production difference that leads to that cost difference.

i think the differences between the two are:satin finish,laser engraving,tiger micarta.

i'm not questioning their pricing,i'm just curious about how their made.how long do you guys think it takes to put a satin finish on a blade that size???

i though the CG's where very affordable given the size and the labor intensity of a full convex grind.i think most people expected them to cost more.under $500.00 is pretty good if you ask me.

conhratas you guys, the NMFBM IS CRASYYYY~!

Congrats! I can't wait to see this monster.

Great to see they will be shipping soon. I double checked my account again today, but it wasn't charged yet. I guess I will be in the 2nd batch that are shipping.

Got email from Amy yesterday, the beast is ready for shipment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You lucky Dog!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looks as if #45 is shipping as part of the next few batches...

personally i couldnt find it in my heart to fork out double the price for the LE models, in any knife. i like the CG more personally. to each his own. either way, they are all great knives and will serve you wonderfully no matter what route you decide to go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i cant afford it either but dont think i would even if i could,although i always love a great satin finish on INFI.

i think the attraction is more about the numbered LIMITED EDITION'ness about it and its collectability for the "safe queeners".

the tiger hide micarta is killer though too.

....."but when you get paid what i get paid its gotta be COMBAT GRADE!!!!!"

i've never owned a BUSSE LE and probably never will.i did own some SYKC LE's though,being the DFLE & DMLE.i sold the DMLE.

i wonder why swamprat doesnt do LE's.

They do. There was the Satin Battle Rat, Rat Daddy LE, Crash Rat LE, M6 LE, Hairy Carry LE, etc...

You guys may want to recheck your account today, I just got banged for a NMFBM today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah..... but, they haven't released a satin piece of SR-101 in YEARS!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> - You'll have to show me the M6LE... I don't recall seeing that one - other than stripping my own and a few other customer stripped versions.

The Rat Hunter and Bog Dog were some others that were satin SR-101 MANY years ago.

The Safari Skinner, Dog Skinner and Bog Dog were also satin D2.


Not enough SATIN! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

.

I realized those were custom shop M6s. I don't know if that counts or not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> There were some with fancy handles, partially serrated, etc...

I hope my AmEx doesn't get hit until next month...

My account got hit for BOTH my CG & LE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Heh, so will mine in due time. Just hope Blade West delays the rest of the shipments until after my current statement cycle. Too many toys in too short a time can do a marriage bad...

for the most part there is a CG and LE version of almost every knife the yard has done and for the majority of the time you have the option of CG or LE when busse does a knife.

so while swamprat has done some LE's they dont do like everyone else or we'd have at least one LE between the HRLM,RMD,CW or SW.and to me there is a difference between custom shop and LE.which brings up another question.......................
..........CUSTOM SHOP SCRAPYARD KNIVES ???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but how cool would a LE HRLM,RMD,CW or SW be????????

I misunderstood this title !

I was thinking I couldn't even be banged for my Mora let alone a Busse !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I just checked my credit card and I got charged yesterday!!!

Should be in the mail soon!!!

AmEx Mobile tells me I have not yet been dinged. Hoping mine ships after Blade West...

Got my tracking# today from Amy-0. Here I sit 5 states away. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I just called my wife, and she said I've got a box from Busse. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

It's gunna be a looooooong afternoon here at work... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

But it sounds like I've got something cool waiting for me at home! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Jeff, you are one LUCKY Dog!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Pics up on BF. I´m glad I ordered one, no regret at all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> but I can´t afford buy food in a couple of month...

I just noticed that I got banged from BUSSE WAUSEON OH on 9/24. Awesome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .

Mine came yesterday and they are beautiful!

I just checked again and I my CC has taken the hit. I could have afforded an LE, but would never use it. I bought 2 CGs instead; I'm not sure that I can even use a CG that was so expensive, but if I choose to do so, I'll still be able to set the other aside as a safe queen.

wow that is a lot of knife.

Hoping a big, fat package arrives courtesy of USPS tomorrow...

A great score. Way to go

Dan

Heading over to a friend's place to compare the NMFBM to the FFFBM. Offhand, I don't think that even the flat grind is going to help the FFFBM take out the NMFBM in terms of desirability...

At long last, finally BANGED for the NMFBM!

Feels good, doesn't it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ?

Indeed, it does.

You will really be happy with it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Congratulations, this is one impressive knife, great feel, nose heavy and a lot of power when chopping. You are definitely going to love this one. Jerry struck gold with this one, hopefully Dan will top this one.

Not to mention that the handles feel great. Only thing better would be shaped mudder ResC.
