You can't tell me this guy doesn't look just a little creepy, psycho, and maybe 1/4 of the way towards zombieville already?

--------------------------------------------------

Busse can be a little pricey.... BUT what you get is definitely top top grade steel.

zombietools makes some cool looking stuff... and I'm guessing its pretty damned durable too. But I think you're definitely paying a little more for the fancy looks and marketing that goes along with it at the cost of quality. For the same price, another maker could probably produce a blade with more fineness and a grade or two up in steel quality.

That deuce looks damned cool. I'm sure it would do the job wonderfully and look kickass mounted somewhere.

I do tend to favor something a little more maneuverable however. Hallways, quick stabs, but long enough to get a little reach and gain a little momentum in open air swinging. Likewise balanced right as to allow for very quick and precise cuts, as opposed to the brutally effective (IF it hits) cleaving of the deuce.

--------------------------------------------------

Sadly, all of the following knives are obtainable... for a price, and were much cheaper if purchased first hand from the manufacturer at the time of production and availability.

For the same general money I would probably buy the Scrapyard Scrapizashi $320 .... not so pretty, but more finesse than the duece. I saw a great youtube video of the thing being bent 180 degrees - didn't break, and returned about 90% to form. That's quality that I don't think the zombietools would be able to match.

If it was at all affordable, I would gladly jump up to the Swamp Rat Rodent Waki $550 .... there's videos on youtube of this thing chopping down trees and then being shaving sharp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRnVY...eature=related


And of course you double that to get INFI steel, but I think the Waki hit's the sweet spot.
Busse AK47 $1150
And frankly, if I was spending that much, I would get a Busse Gladius (see below)

--------------------------------------------------

Now, if money were no object, this is what I would get. Hands down, the end all be all sword for me! It's a thing of beauty!

Had I that kind of disposable income and I ever saw it for sale at that price, it wouldn't even be a question
The Satin finish would be my prefered finish. not as tactical as black, but its just too damned pretty on that gladius!
I'm not a big guy & I've got small hands, so I could wield the gladius two-handed with great finesse or brutal chopping, while maintaining the ability to use it one handed in a pinch.

--------------------------------------------------

Finally, I don't think I've ever seen a bigger single group of blade p r * n in one set of photos than right here. Yes, I realize he's a dealer, but still this guys set of blades is incredible.

This thread had been far too quiet for too long... Any one pick anything nice up?

I recently bit the bullet on this beauty... Best folder I have ever held...







Anyone that is waffling one a CRK knife, stop now and go get one, it will be the best knife purchase of your life.

I carry a small, black Bushnell folder clipped to my belt on a daily basis (until I get my CCW, at which point my belt will carry something with a little more oomph. But I'll probably still carry the knife).

Not sure of the model but the construction is very solid and it hasn't failed me in opening or cutting yet. Just a little pressure on the thumb stud toward the wrist and it pops right open. Perfect for slicing a box at work or turning a stick into a toothpick during warm, outdoor stogie sessions.
