sweet collection. of all the knives though the bk9 remora combo is still my favourite. Like chief pointed it out a very interesting design on the condor khuk. Is the blade hollow ground

awesome collection and thanks for sharing.

NOC from local ADC and I also kept the customs papers showing duty paid etc as additional proof that it has cleared customs and isnt illegal.

Thanks, I love the BK9 remora combo too, such a versatile pair. The condor khukri is convex. To be honest, the grind isnt great from the factory because its uneven on both sides. I took some pictures before using a file to fix that. Ill put them up if i can find.

So beautiful knives. I love the kerambits so I for one liked the cold steel KBit. I myself own united cutlery's undercover KBit. :cheers:

Loved the khukri too.

As promised, heres that special blade!! 10 points to who ever guesses first! An excellent knife, perfect all-rounder coupled with a great sheath. Pictures dont do it justice, it must be handled for the finish and balance to be appreciated.

It balances right where the micarta scales end. If you choke up on it with your finger in the choil, most of the weight comes in your hand making it feel much lighter and much more nimble.

Sure! More pics coming up. Bought it on BF. When I bought this, Busse's offerings (team gemini LB and argonne assault) didnt really do it for me. However the anniversary mean street that just came out looks like a great EDC.
The options I was considering were this and the FSH. The FSH is definately better looking and it has that iconic busse shape, but its front heavy-ness meant this one would be a better all rounder.
This ones the NMSFNO with muddy brown blade finish and tigerhide micarta scales. Thats a chuddy bear leather sheath with it. Both items offer superb craftsmanship.

Please do post pics whenever you get the time. Had thought so that you purchased through BF of JD. Been lurking on the Busse forums on BF for sometime now. The Argonne Assault is a mean SOB is'nt it....

Great taste in knives mate and a great quisition. The First Busse Owner in IFG.
