If you could only have 1

[Kenneth F Huls]

My home-modded "perfect" pair Beauty being in the eye of the beholder (or modder!).

NOT Off Topic, though, as IMHO either knife could be a great "One Knife" choice.

 

[WatermanChris]

A good bit of work, and of course I have destroyed the warranty

I have a feeling that if you somehow managed to break that bad boy, @Jerry Busse would fix you right up.

Look at Cliff's Basic 7 that he turned into a Basic Badger. Jerry covered that one.

See what it looked like before it eventually broke.

1, there is no such thing as 1. It’s a fallacy, no one here has 1 knife. Maybe 1 user, but not 1 knife.....


Her butt is lumpy and deformed from years of pounding, she even has my name tattooed on her chest. She is mine and will always will be. But her little sister is quite the trooper too. Helped save me when my boat overturned in the swamp. Just cut loose fishing lines tangled in and, what I only imagine was a gator line I hit while swimming for shore. These 2 have been my dearest companions on hog hunts, family vacations, hikes, camping trips, Cub Scout outtings, IWB Carry That SHBA with a pistol and split more wood than Paul Bunyan with that Mistress, at cook outs, both of these have cut more meat Alton Brown .....these 2 are the Alpha and Omega of my collection. Never took it easy on them and they scream for more.


Oh and the cicadas have overtaken my hatchet.....

This is a very hard question for me to answer? If I had to choose one? HMMMM?? Gotta go with the Battle Mistress. I know you ALL are like? What? but to me it simply Busse Perfection.
Its Big and Bold.
Have a great Friday.

Thanks, Amy! I LOVE it when the Office plays amongst us!!

AND I get it! I love my Mistress (ASHBM with choil) - currently with REK for a "treatment."

 

[Gravelface]

Decided to do a little whittling with the SHBA..... not too shabby

 

[evltcat]

One Busse! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Like I'd ever be able to choose just one...

Maybe one of each model... Yeah, i could do that!

 

[IZULA]

I dont think i would pick one of my bigger knives!!! Picking edc size instead so.......
One of my Active Duty’s is my winner and way to go

That's a hungry Badger!

One Busse! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Like I'd ever be able to choose just one...

With some models choosing just one would be tough!

Basic 8

Sarge 7

 

[bubbaskyjacker]

TGLB or NMFSH which I don’t actually have.

 

[gorshi]

In these days it is Forsaken Mistress

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

In these days it is Forsaken Mistress

good call on the Forsaken Mistress-- some of the best money I've ever spent!

BUSSE itself is synonymous with "must have--" but a NUKED Forsaken Mistress is a must-have of the must haves!

It is so well designed, it feels like your right arm is a foot longer when you grab ahold of her

 

[Mike Pierson]

Holy Crap, my 1st Forsaken Battle Mistress is here!
Yes, she will do just fine.
(Let the games begin!)

 

[Private Klink]

I love my Forsaken Mistress!

 

[Mike Pierson]

I love my Forsaken Mistress!

I think now I want a “variant”.
I can’t believe it took me so long to get one...
