Boy this is a 'hunking' game warden. Just got it today. Thick slabs. Won't fit in the Armorall sheaths from the company store. Doesn't have the same blade profile as that shown on the Lilliganza post...but still love it.

Here it is next to my Black DC game warden:

I have a Ram Horn that is about that thick and it feels very good in hand.
 
is the blade thicker? what is different about the profiles?

Take a look back at the original Lilliganza pics. I believe the blade thickness is the same as what was stated: .17".
 
I received my Buffalo Warden today also. The handles are very thick. I'm going
to have to handle it some to see if I like it.
 
Congrats on the Buffalo Warden!!!

Here's a pic from the ganza... There was also a top grind kind of like a clip point, shown on the ganza pic too??? :confused:

Talked to Amy-0 and mine was sent out today... I'll have to see what I get. I was kinda lookin' forward to this blade profile.

If I ordered the Buffalo GW I'd be very dissapointed if the knife didn't have the differrent blade profile - pointier tip. I just love the blade design of the GW on the picture from the ganza. Are we gonna see pointier GWs in the future - with standard handles?
 
I received mine the other day... I've been quiet about them because I'm pretty disappointed about them. They, like yours, do not look like the photo at all...I was sold on the blade shape & was not thrilled to see these not modded. The handles were nicer in appearance in the photo. But the worst of it is that 2 of 3 have already started to show a little cracking and discoloring in the buffalo horn right out of the box. I'm thinking about asking the Custom shop to strip off the buffalo and put something, ANYTHING else on these blades. I hate to say anything negative about these, but...!
Anyone else have any problems with the handles?

EDITED to add: Oh, thank GOD I have something positive to say about Busse to add here after the above! My 2 D.T. AK's arrived here today from the BCS (another super fast shipped order, Thx, 'Skunk!! :thumbup:), and although I ordered them to go with the RK's as a set, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't really get into owning them. Well, I was wrong, 'cause they are BADAZZ!!! :D :D Turns out they are very nice and light in the hand!

Hrm, hearing about chipping on the handle is a little disconcerting. I've got one on the way (by way of a sheath-maker) so I won't see it until I have it in hand in another month or so; but I'd really hate to have to take advantage of the Busse warranty on a NIB blade.

The answer is kind of obvious....

Send them to Ducci

I hadn't really thought about returning them outright, for most knifemakers don't usually cover natural materials... but the steel is still good, so I figure that maybe a handle replacement... I have yet to contact Busse about this so I REALLY don't want to set off a panic or speculate too much or do anything negative towards Busse as I'm a fan, and I'm sure that something can be worked out. :thumbup: I'm just curious if mine are a fluke or if others might have similar handle concerns.

I will make sure they have a good home. I have a rams horn warden and really like it. Anyone have a comparison pic between the two - BTW??

I really like the PHAT handels!!! :thumbup: ;) :D
