The Busse Combat Anorexic Trough Raider is Coming Tonight, Wednesday August 14, 2024 at 9PM Eastern to the Busse Combat Website.


After years of dragging around a few extra pounds we put the Trough Raider on a diet of watered down scotch and lean bacon and now it's back and ready to stomp the trough at its new slimmed down, fighting weight. This diet made the blade lighter, faster, and slicier than any Trough Raider in history. Featuring our micro-corrugated bevel, a wicked recurve, a deep fuller and an aggressive reinforced swedge this one is in the fight to win.


SPECS:
Blade Length: Approx. 9.50"
Overall Length: Approx. 15.00"
Thickness: Approx. .210"
Steel: INFI

Blade Finish: Competition Finish, Stonewashed, or Coated
Handles: Canvas Micarta or G-10

Nuclear Option + $90.00

The Nuclear Option:


The Nuclear Option is not for the faint of heart but rather for those bacon-loving HOGs who do not fear the unknown!!!

The Nuclear option on the Anorexic Trough Raider is a grab bag of sorts. You will receive a randomly selected handle from a pile of Nuclear Castoffs.
This pile of handles has many hand-laminated G10 and Micarta slabs as well as some solid colors not normally offered!
This option does not allow you to choose your handle!!!! . . . You do not get A CHOICE! You will get whatever you get by the blind luck of the draw! It is a veritable PORKpourri of oddball handle materials! The Nuclear Option will also include the Busse Custom Shop logo.

Nobody likes whine with their bacon, so we have implemented a "No returns/No whine clause"!
There are no returns on the Nuclear Option. . . .

So, you can either play it safe or you can go where only the bravest of HOGs have gone before. . . . to PORKpourri and beyond!!!!!

Best of Luck to all who raid the trough,


Garth

Well, well, well..... I did not see this coming!

The original has moved near the very top of my "wants" list so this makes my choice more difficult... Original recipe or the new flavor..... Hmm......

spine shot next to an old one please ?

Yes! Please supply this if possible Busse crew!

Going to be hard not to buy one of these. I had an original and let it go because I thought it was way too heavy. Loved everything else about it.
 
Oh baby, I love my original one, had it for years now. Definitely in on this even though money is super tight, ill find a way lol
 
Oh, I want.

Random aside, the email notification I got for this displayed as "Jamie the Anorexic Trough Raider" and I thought, what, is Busse assigning Dungeons & Dragons names to customers now?
