Busse and Kin are all beyond functional , works of art. IMHO neon on INFI, SR101, or SR77 is blasphemy.
And this talk of "mainstream pricing" is crazy. Talking about having Scrapyard be some sort of vehicle to reach the masses with a gimmick is just plain insulting.
Mainstream! Busse, Swamp Rat and Scrapyard are well know for one reason; being FU#%^NG AWESOME!!!!!!!!
If you want some green bladed, corner cutting production, priced for the masses knives I BECK you $1000 there ES a couple of companies out there that have what you deserve at the price you are looking to pay.

For the zombie apocalypse a knife would be a secondary tool to a good sword that was designed to take heads.
A Claymore would do that nicely.

Freedom is expensive, but you get what you pay for and a life worth living is worth fighting for to the end.

Just say NO to neon green zombie stuff. INFI deserves better. My 2 cents.

Busse was Nuke Green before it was even cool (or trendy)!

When I in-vision an anti-Zombie blade I think of something made to go through skulls or coconuts. Not green paint. Zombies aren't afraid of green paint and you can cut them into pieces all day long. They won't care much. If you want to kill a zombie, you need something that's designed to pierce skulls.
The U.S. M1917 "Knuckle Duster" fits nicely. Although for leverage purposes I might want a shorter version. It needs to be longer than the width of a Zombie skull but short enough to prevent twisting of your wrist on impact. Accuracy is important with penetrating stabs.
My Ratmandu might work against a Zombie Skull in a pinch... but having your hands that close to a zombies mouth (and infectious bloody goo) I'd want some better protection. It's too easy for a hand to slip onto the blade during the fierce stabbing motion needed to penetrate a Zombie skull. Something to prevent my fingers from getting bit would be nice as well. The hand guard on the U.S. M1917 "Knuckle Duster" will certainly stop your hand from slipping onto the blade during a jab. The guard sticks out far enough that it might actually prevent a bite or two as well.
To be quite honest, I've never seen a modern knife that looked like it was made to fit this very specific role with very specific needs.

Busse Argonne Assault
Every one except the bottom is a Busse. Not sure what the bottom one is...
The top one is the "Chuckette", a true Busse custom created to Chuck's (1whobuys) specifications and design. It is one of a kind. I had the privilege to handle it at a BLADE Show a few years back and I gotta say that it is one cool badazz blade!
The other Busse's below the Chuckette are:
Military overrun Ruck Kensei (not to be confused with the Swamp Rat "Rucki")
Original A2 satin finished AK-47 (American Kensei 47) Pretty rare, I believe.
Another MO Ruck Kensei
INFI AK-47
...and again, I don't know what the bottom one is.![]()

What do you do if the zombies are Busse collectors too? Obviously, zombies have good taste, or we wouldn't need Busse's in the first place.

I guess we could call it a "trade"? Or maybe "vae victus"![]()
