EXCERPT FROM BUSSE COMBAT OFFERING :
"About the Double Talon Battle Mistress design:
I have taken the Talons from some of my early 1980's pieces and put them on the same blade as the D-Guard Battle Mistress!!!
If you look at many of my early pieces, you will note that the talons curved around as if cut from a D-Guard. . . . That's because they were.
In the early 1980's I was infatuated with D-Guards and the grip security that they brought to the table for fighting knives and choppers. However, as orders increased, it became obvious that D-Guards were just way too time consuming to make by hand. I didn't have a mill back then so I drilled two holes and then spent endless hours cutting the 1/4" thick D-2 tool steel pocket out with a jeweler's saw. Those little tiny saw blades were only good for about 1/4" length of cut before they snapped or died a toothless death!!! After this, I had to go in and try to make it look less hideous by sanding with small drum sanders! A typical 3/4" diameter drum sander would last about .0023 seconds when faced with a 1/4" thick wall of severely rough cut and jagged D-2 tool steel!!!! It was enormously time consuming to say the least!!!!
I quickly moved away from the D-Guard design and toward the double talon design because it offered many of the same benefits of the full D-Guard design but with less weight, less wasted steel, and less overall time in making them completely by hand.
If I had owned a mill back then, I think that nearly everything I made would have had a D-Guard design!!!"
