I was thinking sage or bronze, perhaps forest green and not too particular on the handle. I might go for a nuke.

I am confusedHey Boss,
I know the handle is scaled down to the blade length, and that's really cool. My FMV 14 is the same shape as the FMV8 and FMV6 but each of those have scaled down handles.
Will this pattern play out on the FMV10? Can I expect a handle size between the FMV14 and FMV8?
I assume the FMV19 will be larger like the new KPB 19.8![]()
If it is a stonewashed blade the handle will feel slightly smaller because it almost feels hand smoothed where the handle on non stonewashed knives retain the slightly blockier dimensions. The 8 and 6 have identical handles if I recall, I have had both and they fit my hand the same, the stonewash Custom Shop felt slightly smaller but same base dimensions.I must be mistaken, I don't have a FMV6 but a coworker bought one and the handle felt smaller than the FMV8 (I no longer have) but I remember as having the same handle as my KPB 9.8. My FMV14 is obviously scaled up in size.
I guess my question is does the 10 have the same handle as the 6?
I wish they'd offer this with maroon canvas micarta.
Why did they quit offering maroon canvas micarta?
Standard Thickness Handles And Maroon Canvas Handles Are Coming Back!!! . . .
Big News From Busse Combat regarding handle options.
We are updating some handle options for Busse Combat Knives.
Maroon Canvas Micarta Is Coming Back Soon!!!
We are finally able to bring back maroon canvas micarta as a regular option.
We have been able to overcome supply issues, and maroon canvas will be making a comeback as soon as we can get the shopping cart updated.
Standard Thickness Handles Are Coming Back Soon!!!
We are currently in the process of writing programs and retooling in order to offer standard thickness handles on many of our models moving forward.
While not all models will have this option, many will. This may add a bit of time to new orders until we are completely retooled for all models that will have this option.
Customers ordering models that come with this option on handle thickness will be offered the choice between standard (thinner handles) or Magnum (thicker handles).
Standard or Magnum handles will cost the same.
Our regular upcharges for different materials such as black G-10, multicolored G-10, and Nuclear option handles will remain the same for both "Standard" and 'Magnum' thickness handles.
Moving forward, handles that are referred to as "Magnum" handles will be the handles that have been offered over the past few years.
For example, if you ordered an Anorexic Fusion Battle Mistress, the handles slabs that came on it would now be referred to as "Magnum" handles, and there will be a thinner option referred to as "Standard" handles.
Let's Drink!
