Hi Everybody,

Here is a nice little story;

Over the years My son Brigham, has been on the recieving end of a few Busse's and other cool knives, but he had never actually purchased one.

So around his 16th birthday he saw the postings of the HG 55 and he had seen the military over run that I had got.

Well for his birthday he got cash from a few relatives, so instead of spending it on whatever 16 year olds spend money on now a days he gave it to me & said "I want to order a Busse ! Here is a down payment 185.00 (all his B-day money)"

Every day for almost a month he asks "did a package come ?"

I tried explaining the whole 2 weeks thing to him ??:)

But being a teenager he did not quite get it, because when it had been two weeks he said "well ?" so I had to explain what two weeks was in Busse language. :D

Amy has been awesome by the way through all this she would tell me how things are going & give me an update when I needed it.

Half way through I had an idea since it was his first Busse he bought with his own money why not make it special.

So one the oposite side of the logo we had his name engraved, Amy I can not thank you enough for this.

You should have seen his eyes light up when he saw the surprise.

Yesterday he came in the shop & said "I want to make a sheath for my knife we have a scout fishing trip this weekend & I want to carry my Busse."

He wanted to know what color would look nice. He got a sage blade with a Tan (sorry for the mistake) canvas micarta handle so I thought Desert Tan would look cool, he agreed & started making it, rather we started making it :)

We pressed it he lined the holes up (twice, he did not get them quite right the first time, but the were on the inside so no biggy) he drilled the holes & shaped the sheath, I did a little treaking then he put the eyelets in & pressed them. I looked great.

He wanted a wind so that you could see his name when the knife was in the sheath, I did that for him :).

When it was all done he put his BBB brand in it. chip off the ol' block I think.

I will have him take a camera with him this weekend so he can take pics.

Here are a few pics of the knife & Buy Brigham Brown sheath :D



P.S. Amy & the Busse Crew Brigham & I thank you.:thumbup:

Not seeing any pics, Dave, but that is a really cool story. I hope he uses it in good health. :thumbup:
 
Still not seeing any pics yet, but still a great story - I remember the first time I bought a knife with my own money, it was very cool. Hope he gets to do some serious fire building with that sucker!

Thats one heck of a good story there DB.:cool::thumbup:


A big congrats to him on a fine choice, and to you for having such a fine young man.


Enjoy the weekend:)
 
Very cool story Dave. Looks like he's a chip off the old kydex!:D Congrats to him on the fine job and the awesome HG55.
 
WOW, he is a lucky guy to be packing such fine cutlary at 16!! I wish I knew about Busse when I was his age, I feel like I am making up for lost time. Good looking sheath.
 
I wish I had a Dad like me :)
 
Very Cool David.....I knew he would get a kick out of it....:):)

Nice sheath BTW......I bet you are one proud papa!!!!

Kid's got some skillz:thumbup::thumbup: like his Dad:)
 
Now thats a great story Dave:thumbup:

Cool of Busse to do his name, and the cutout looks great!
Making that sheath will be a day you'll both always remember.
 
Great pics and sheath.

I reread the OP again and what I can now see is not only does your son have access to your Busse and blade collection he also has his own Busses and other 'cool blades'. Not to mention the materials and tools to fashion his own sheaths whenever he needs to.

So my question is are you looking to adopt a 31 year old Scotsman?
