Up for sale here I have a jungle green coated new style MOAB with magnum black canvas scales, which have the
fusion pattern in them (rather then the hand finished scales which are smooth). The fusion cnc
pattern has had the sharp points smoothed down (custom shop) so that it doesn't bite into the
hand, but it leaves enough texture to give a gripping surface.

It doesn't get any bigger then this in the realm of busse, and probably won't for some time. The
balance point is 3" in front of the index finger, and it weighs a mighty 2lbs 12.2oz. if your into big
knives, it is directly comparable to a 1/2" thick heavy 20" ang khola. While it may seem way to
big and over the top, the more you have it in your hand, the less crazy it seems, and the stronger
your forearm gets.

I tapped the edge on a pine 2x4 to get a feel for the handle, it is otherwise unused. the test didn't
effect the coating or edge at all, as it is it's in factory condition.

Specs:
Overall length: 20.5"
cutting edge length: 13.75"
Weight: 2lbs 12.2oz
Thickness at pommel: .410"
Thickness at center of blade: .380"
Thickness of metal directly behind cutting edge at tip: .090"
Thickness of metal directly behind cutting edge at center of blade: .080"
Thickness of handle at center swell: 1.155"
Thickness of handle at index finger: .895"

The blade tapers down to the tip starting 6.5" from the tip.




the more I scan through prices and how long something stays up, the worse things look.
since the market for large busse's is currently so horrible, i'm going to avoid dropping
the price down to a loss of capital investment level and just let this sink to the depths
of the sale board. price now 2,300.

Price: $2,300

To my knowledge this is the only coated one in the new size configuration.
