I bought a Busse from a friend a couple years ago for my collection. It`s a model they started making after I quit working there so I`m not familiar with it. Has anyone ever heard of one called the "Caretaker"?
Sorry I can`t post any pics, but it`s got the Natural Outlaw handle with a clip point blade about 5-6 inches long. Anybody with something similar?

Basics 6 (Euro 6), Caretaker, NO-E, ASH-1

Never seen one of those before.

That looks like a great knife.

Maybe.

Thanks guys. That`s the one. I just wasn`t sure if he had the name right, and I figured somebody here could confirm it with a pic.

Anybody know when these were made?

The Caretaker was made for the European Market. It is 0.25" thick and does not have the swedge of the Clip Point Desert Outlaw in Resinguy's picture. The only US availability that I am aware of was through the aftermarket and as a limited offering in a long-ago Ganzaaaa. I don't remember the details, but I got a Euro 4 and a Caretaker in that one.

Thanks Mike, I remember now the Euros went into producction right after I left. So that gives me most of the info I was looking for.
You guys are the best. I don`t care WHAT your mothers in law say.
