benjammin, I love the Busse knife collection, I’d like to get a little bigger one than the dogfather but the Bolo design has always been what I’ve been looking for. If Busse were to make a bolo out of that design with there steel and I could order it in the next century, I’d be all over that. Busse definitely makes the best knives in my opinion, they just have a screwed up way about getting one. They make awesome knives, but have poor sales technique. But a $10 bolo will do the job just the same, it just doesn’t hold an edge like Busse.

kixonrt66, I definitely miss those days as well and if I ever had the time and money, I would like to go back for a refresher. That jungle over there is like a supermarket, it’s no wonder why you could disappear for ever. Definitely paradise, but at the rate the PI is becoming more touristy, they’ll probability put condos in the next decade. I want to get out there and put the bolo and dogfather to a true test but I need to figure out how to restore my convex edge on the bolo, it has been through concrete as well as chewed on a couple of nails so the edge is extremely dull and I’m not the best sharpener there is. There is a lot of dogfather destructive testing here. http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=Knives&page=0
