Yup...if this atomic bomb cyclone thing ever clears my area I plan on getting some better shots...thanks!

 

[Private Klink]

I'm glad I ordered mine when I did, as it DOES seem to be one of the rarer Busse models.

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

New"ed" as in, added some NEW pics to the thread...did ya come here for something else?

better clues to the "tail tale of the tang"...I think @clampdaddy nailed it on post #8...definitely showing evidence of turnage with the trace remnants of a hexagon left behind!

the matte sheen on that chonky INFI guard is simply GAWWWJUSSS!

swedge ground in to perfect precision!

damn beautiful convex edge...

your journey lies before you as you drop in on this landscape...

Beautiful knife, Ron! Congrats!

 

[David Brown]

I loved it except the handle was about 1 inch too short

Well, if your piggies were not so big!!!!!

Looks like nearly 5.5" or so. Should be big enough for my hands...... maybe....

Wasn't there one in the exchange recently?

This is it. Ron was the lucky one who picked him (Pappy?) up.

*note to self: "Any time Dave complains of a model's handle being 1" too short for him, it's PERFECT for me!" hahaha

An inch too short? Are you kidding me?

What sub-species are you from? . . . .

Am I supposed to believe that you have hands the size of frying pans?

You must be out of your. . . . . Wait a minute!!!. . . Is that you Dave? . . . .errrr. . . . sorry. . . . I just caught that it was you. . . . uh. . . never mind. . . . . Louisville Sluggers are an "inch too short" for Dave!!!

Carry on. . .

I'm fairly certain Ron and Blueoak can accommodate your request.

I just really like clip point blades And the Pappy blade just made me think of the ASHBM


I still think an 8” ASHBM would be excellent

The other option: B8 with the "War Feather" Modification of Will York...Granted it's got the Res-C handle not Micarta.
