Know what I think it missing from the Busse line up? A giant cleaver style blade. Not a straight up meat cleaver, but more or a Nessmuck shaped cleaver. Not little by any means, but a straight up 10 inch blade in that shape. Satin, nuclear meltdown, full zero edge, full size choil, bushwacker styled handles with hand shaped micarta. Designed to be a heavy chopper, like the NMFBM LE, but with the Nessmuck shape. Just sayin', I would buy the hell out of one of those, even at LE prices!

I also wouldn't kick a warcleaver style blade out of my pack. :cool::thumbup:
 
thats strange that you say that. i was looking at a collection of old clevers i have and i was thinking the exact same thing.
 
Dude, I foresee a custom made Busse in your future...and rice, potatoes and noodles in your diet for few years.

I hope you see a promotion in my future as well, although I just got a whopping 5% raise... sigh.

Nah, that's too kitchen. I don't want something for the kitchen, I want something that would get you thrown out of a kitchen because if you used it on food, the food would simply explode. less chefs knife, more cleaver. Blend the new rambo knife with a Nessmuck.

Way too small, think a battle mistress cleaver. 3 inches or so high, real deep. 10 inches long. Upswept top with a modified spearpoint. Like I said, think A nessmuk that was bred with a kitchen cleaver and battle mistress.

Jeremy is turning out some nice blades! My guess it that he will make you what you ask for.
 
It must have taken JRE a couple days to load that jumbo strop!
 
I believe that if it were to be released, it would be the first model that I might actually pass on (of course I say this now, LOL!). What can it do that a NMFBM couldn't? :confused: Besides... I have these:

And they, like any other Mistress, will cleave through any dang thing I want them to! :cool: :D:D

Everytime you post I have to shake my head, as each post you seem to pull out 10 new Busse knives that i've never even seen. My god! Those FBM prototypes are sweet.

As for what the Giant Nessmuk/cleaver could do that the NMFBM couldn't.. probably nothing. But so what? What can one of those prototypes do that the other two can't? I can't think of a Busse that can clear wood as fast as a chainsaw, but we still spend 100's on knives. It's all about something a little different. Look how popular the Koster monster Nessie is. Busse already did the Kukri, which means they are willing to try less traditional designs, so why not a giant nessmuk?

LOL, convince Jerry to release an LE version and ya KNOW that I'll have to chase #27! ...I did miss the nessmuk part... which could change my mind. Something that big needs a pointy tip too. :D

I'd even spring for the LE version if they didn't do a satin CG, coating would wreck the design IMO.

When I said cleaver, I didn't really mean cleaver, I was thinking more like a gigantic full convex (think NMFBM LE not ZILLA thickness) Nessmuk. The horton pictured doesn't do it for me, I'd just use a hatchet.. or a kitchen cleaver if that's what I wanted.

I have just one thing to say.....................

Koster style giant nessmuk in infi.

2.75 blade from edge to spine. Just add a few inches to the blade, and maybe a bit to the edge to spine height to make proportions the same for the longer blade and you have the perfect infi nessmuk!!!!!! That is another blade design for Busse that I think the choil would be out of place. The edge is so far down from the hand, no need for the choil for either sharpening or choking up. In fact, you would either want to ditch the front talon hole, or make it higher up in the blade and out of the way totally, like the Sar 5.

Lets do this all the way.

I have been thinking about grabbing one of Koster's beauties for a long time. It is one of my all time favorite looking designs.

Some one on here recently did a chop off, including a FFBM (I think it was that model), and the Koster monster nessie, even with a shorter blade, less weight, and being 5160 spanked all the other choppers in the test (a testament to the tall blade.

The thing that really makes me love this design, is even at 1/4 inch thick, you could actually use it in the kitchen. That tall of a blade with a full flat grind, makes for a nice usable edge profile.

Would love one in infi. Hell, I think they should license the design that Koster uses for his knife to a T. An InfiKosterNessie would be perfect!!!!!!!

Other reason I really love the Koster version of the Nessmuk (big or small version he makes) is the hand clearance when cutting on a flat surface (cutting board........ here I come).

I don't like classic style nessmuks near as much as there is no knuckle clearance.
