    Hypothetical question

    Say you have up to but not more than $300.00 to spend on a nice high end blade. Your wife or significant other has given you permission, the money is in your pocket no bills past due, and you have a craving for a new blade.

    What would you buy and why?

    I think I would buy a Miller Brothers M-5 Fighter.

    Miller Bros. Blades Tactical Knives and Swords For Sale

    $275.00 so its in the budget. I don't really have any use for it but I've wanted one since I first saw it. So my reason would be just for fun.

    What would you guys get?

    You guys are cheating.

    What model? Why?

    Not many BUSSE or Strider knives to pick from in the <$300.00 dollars mark though.

    You can find some of the smaller Busse's for <$300. The anniversary Mean Street is on their site right now.

    Do you have a purpose for this new knife?

    Add $150 to your $300 and I'll sell you a bad ass brand new Busse CGNMFSH

    :popcorn:

    No purpose other than having the money and wanting a new knife. Maybe for carry maybe for camping maybe just to have because you want it.

    I don't have the money yet but I was just thinking about it and thought it would be fun to see what everyone else has on thier wish lists.

    If you shop around and buy used (bladeforums) you can snag one. If you're a little short of the one you really want most guys will take another blade in on trade, or other stuff like ammo, watches, etc...

    I couldn't really narrow it down to a model, but those are def the two I'd look at first and see what was out there.

    I have to admit I have been reading a lot about BUSSEs and when I get the money put together I think I will buy one.

    A new Team Gemini isn't to far out of my proposed budget with a standard MSRP of $337.00. Assuming I can keep the order simple and not get to fancy with extras that will probably be my next big knife purchase.

    Like I said I really don't have a particular knife in mind or the money right now. I just made this post for fun to see what everyone else had on their want list.

    I handled a Team Gemini and it didn't really do it for me. Many others like them though.

    That is the one thing that has me looking at other models from other makers. I've never handled a Team Gemini or any BUSSE for that matter. I like the looks of a lot of their stuff on their custom page but without seeing it in person I can't really justify spending the money on one.

    Any good tips on where I can handle some wild BUSSEs without leaving the state, besides, maybe, the 1500?
