The Bushi is somewhat more substantial than the Utility folder, due both to the handle material and the increased handle thickness. It's sharp as hell and one pointy SOB--and I have the gash in my right hand to prove it (only took 2 minutes after the FedEx guy arrived...must be a new record). Here are a few comparison shots with the Utility Hunter.

Last is something I thought I'd attempt to photograph since I haven't seen pics of it anywhere else on the 'net and the knife deserves a look. This is one of the two folders Bailey made for his MS test. A gorgeous little dagger that "unfortunately" is so highly polished that it's really tough to get good pics of the nickel damascus with my lame set-up. Hopefully this gives at least a feeling of what's going on in there.

Just realized the Bushi is #4 of the first 10. Anyone familiar with Japanese lore will realize why the danged thing bit me!
 
All are nice, but the Utility Hunter and the Bushi Integraframe caught my eye ! :thumbup:


Nice pics, but I have a feeling my wallet is going to hate you. :p :D
