I have a Yugoslavian AK-47 SECM (Serbian Ethnic Cleansing Model). I'm not sure what a Busse AK is. Is it a big ole knife? Edited: Wow, its sword! I would be even more dangerous, with such a divice.

Here's mine

Can you just see a 59 year-old man walking into the local 7-11 with one of those? They look at me funny enough when I wear a Western Bowie!

Yes, that might raise an eyebrow or two. You might try this bowie. It's a Cherokee Rose from Himalayan Imports. I've found pretty knives gets people less excited and more interested.

I have my big choppers

Busse BM's E, FBM, SH, DF when it arrives

My Medium knives

Scrapper 6

My Small fix blade

Skeleton Key (Busse)

And my folders,

Different CRKT models.

Other than the folders, I did not mention my other knives, large to small as I just wanted to list my Busses.

Now I want a good axe. I think Gransfors Bruks.

I think a busse is best as a large blade.
DF
FBM
it would be great to have a medium sized busse also.
my smaller blades are blades with high edge retention, often stainless steel.
Falkniven VG10 Laminated survival knife.
AlMar sere S30V
Fehrman cpm3v hiker
Microtech S30V
and other ats34 and 154cm blades.

WOW !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> You guys sure have some sweet blades! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Great knife!!!

I have a Fehrman Final Judgment that I brought to Kenya along with my E-BM. I mainly used it as I used my E-BM the last time and my SHBM the time before that. That and I just recieved it. It performed really well. The cpm3v is actually carbon steel.

I love all my knives and use everything. Sure I use more than others (Busse) but so far I have found that all suit my needs when here or abroad and each have their own strengths and weakneses. Somtimes when out hiking I prefer to carry my small Pukko (that sounds bad)or just a pocket knife. Somtimes I prefer the smaller, chubby blades because they can carve better and slice trail food better than my bigger blades.

On Hoods Woods (Gravelface actually responded to the thread) there was a Scrap Yard thread where people were not bad mouthing the Busse line but called them over hyped. Then someone chimed in about their Mora being the best knife for everything, even a Busse. That is his opinion and for him that knife may work. For other people they may have something else.

I like this forum because we do not bad mouth other knives as we all own many other company brands. I love my cold steels (the ones that I got years ago, the ones now have quality problems), I love my Fehrman.... But Busse the first Good knife company that I ever ordered from, all other knives/companies came after. Before that I had an $8 Yugoslovian knife given to my by my father when I was a boy. The typical, hollow handled, saw back thingy. Lord knows how it survived as I used to ram it into pennies and they would stick. Saw and baton wood and even use it when climbing by ramming it into the terrace walls on the river banks. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't even cut bread with it. I remember it being 440c steel. I thought it was the best stuff around. I even still have it tho it has been retired.

So in short... I guess my collection is an almost complete collection.

But for me it is in fours plus an axe. Chopper, Mid, small fixed (SK) and folder.

So far everything everyone has listed is a great knife.

I guess that really none of our collections are complete. We will keep buying them until our money or our wives give out.

Sorry for the loooong post. Today has been the [email]Sh@#ttyst[/email] day of the past two whole weeks and these past two weeks were the worst!!! Hopefully next week will be better.

Posting this was theraputic for me. I need 5:00 PM.

Best to all,

Dan

Oh man I want one of those so bad! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Oh that's not where I started, and you should hang on to those UC classics if you have them there destine to be top notch collectibles especially the Hibben Ltd's, it never ceased to amaze me on the following that stuff had.

Bld522, I like your idea for a basic collection.
Mine is first the basics

Dogfather: Big Bowie chopper
Mischief 6: General purpose fighter
Scrapyard SS4: EDC

If you are like me you will want special purpose knives here are some that while not Busse kin fit with the general hard use theme.

CRKT Sting: Boot Dagger
CS Tru Flight: Thrower, back up

Sykes Fairbain Commando Knife : Murder weapon ,As the originals are very expensive and later wartime ones of dubious quality either a decent replica or the Applegate Fairbain made by Boker would be acceptable. For some reason no one has made a good version without trying to improve it and ending up screwing them up.

Spyderco Endura ZDP: Any good folder would do I picked the ZDP Endura as it will be my next folder purchase. If funds are an issue get the Byrd Flight G10 it will be the best 30 you ever spend(other than that czeck girls lap dance).

Busse Ruck: Home defence weapon ,I prefer a more traditional look so I have a cheness katana.

Gerber Sport: Multitool ,I will be replacing this with a Byrd tool when they come out.
