I am wanting to purchase my First Busse Knife. I want a Big Knife to clear brush for deer blinds, and any other chopping a big knife excells at. I know I am trying to come up with an excuse and this one is working for me right now....lol. I know I can do this with a $10 machette, but I want a Busse. I want one similar to the one in the picture or the link I added, dont know if I did it right or not. My questions is: What model is this and the name of it so I know what to look for. Also a good price range will be helpful. I am a Chris Reeve Knife fan, but I am looking for something BIGGER than my two shadow 1's I have. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I dont think I did the image thing right. The knife size I am looking at is in "Nothing but Images Page 54 I believe. It is Post 1071 The picture of the 2 Big Busse together. The blades look to be 12" and very wide. That is what I want, so any info on them will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

YES, on HOGCULT.COM its the third one down. What do these run about so I know what to spend and do not get ripped off???????. I am actually looking for a busse machete.
 
The LE'S ARE SATIN AND RUN 700-900? ...THE COATED BLADES CAN BE HAD FOR 500-600?
Check the exchange..there was a couple coated ones there over the weekend.

JimmyJones picture shows the production run one on the bottom.
The top one you'll never find for less than a grand if you find one at all.
 
aloha,

you will not get the nmfbmle for less then $800. they were $797+$20(shipping)+$18(shipping to you). and that is without paypal fees.:eek:

if someone is desperate for cash, you may get lucky and score one for cheap:confused:

good luck on you're quest!

cheers all! kimo
 
Thanks, I will be happy with a combat grade one. I like the size of the battle mistress with the 11 1/2'' blade. , plus they are supposed to have a great warrenty, so how can I go wrong. Just trying to get it without the wife finding out, now thats the hard part......lol.

In one of your previous posts you mentioned wanting something "machete" like. The CGNMFBM is thinner than most of the NMFBM le's, so it would make a better machete, but not a good one, IMO. From personal experience with my FFBM's and even the lighter CG FBM's they are too heavy to use as machetes... efficiently that is. The inertia produced by such knives is very great, and should be taken into consideration, and respected. I find swinging my 2lb. FFBM at hanging vegetation or brush, scary:o. There's nothing in light vegetation to absorb (and slow down) the beasts energy, and if you're fatigued or careless... you're BM could end up in your thigh as a result.

So, if you want a machete like tool I'd recommend a Ruck, if you can find one... before I do.;)

Long story short, I recommend the CGFBM, it's all the mistress I need.
