I have always collected knives, especially choppers, bowies, kukris, and machetes. I would buy them from Cold Steel or various catalogs. Then I got on the internet. Been poor ever since. I started on the old Ontario RAT forum. Then I got on Blade Forums. Then Diceman, who was on the Ontario forum turned me onto the Dog Father in Feb 2007. I had heard of Busses and Swamp Rats but didn't know where to buy them. I just missed the DF but got one on ebay. Now I have a room full of Busse steel. This is the only forum I am very active on. I occasionally visit Busse, Swamp Rat, and Wilderness Survival Forums. On Knife Forums I visit Bark River and Ranger.
