I have been serving overseas now with a Special Forces team for the last year (kuwait, afganistan, kosovo) and have unfortunately been ill equipped as far as blades go. I can attest to the importance a good blade offers and the comforting feeling it gives when it is strapped to your gear. I had to leave pretty quick and did not get around to getting a decent knife-so just deployed with a spyderco and my bayonet. Well, finally, after much comparing, and first getting some bills paid off--I decided on Busse. Good reputation and solid blades. I was very impressed in talking with Jerry Busse himself concering my orders and knife needs and his understanding of how I quickly needed the blades due to my current situation. (also a thumbs up for Blade Babes service!) I am so far very pleased with this company's dedication, quality, and designs and look forward to posting some pics when my knives arrive. These knives will definately be getting a workout!! God Bless, Chadwick (now if I could just trade in my beretta for a glock and my M-4 for a M-14-life would be perfect!!) Oh, and Jerry, the gift from Serbia I promised you is being mailed tommorrow (hush, hush)
