A little HOG love for a non-Busse!

He has a few ready to go right now, otherwise you will wait for an order probably the same amount of time a custom Busse would take.

Interesting, I know before that he hadn't made them in a long time. I've owned three of them over the years but never was able to get one off of him, the last one I picked up was a numbered Bead blasted blade with black Ano. handles for $160.00 at a gun show in Phx. They're nice but I don't really care for Tanto's.
 
Very nice!

It gripes me to no end how crappy we have it up here in Canada for knife laws. I want an auto so bad, but alas.

A lot south of the border can't own them either, or can't take them off their property, which automatically makes them a safe queen. Not fun. :(:grumpy:

God bless the few free states left! I am very fortunate not to have that problem yet.
 
Like you said the keyword is YET! But you goto love the great state of FL.

Keep some oil on it and keep it away from water, and it should be good for the most part. But thats why he puts coatings on his blades, and same with old Busses, cause A2 is not stainles....

That is the one drawback with A2, but it's strength is probably second to INFI. All of my Barkies in A2 are amazingly sharp knives that are incredibly strong.

Yeah. INFI starts out as A2, and is changed from there. And SH's made out of A2 have definitely proved themselves. :thumbup:

I would love to have a couple of those in the safe. That was a bit before my knife collecting started unfortunately. Lord knows what one of those go for today.
