Busse Custom Shop "Mentor". . . . Specs & Pricing . . . Sunday April 15, 2018. . . 9:00pm Eastern

Six weeks and a day since the first dings and still no shipping notices seems pretty odd.
Perhaps there was a miscommunication in the shop about which knives were about ready to go?
Or the Nuke FMV8s just took a lot more work to finish than expected?
Or they ran out of booze and had to put the grinding on hold until they could replenish their supplies?

... maybe this knife is not exist, at all... imaginary blade.

To be fair, Jerry Busse did say that the Custom shop wont open again until "3-5 years" from his post in 2015.

Just got my shipping notice. BIG DC and Black Canvas.

UPS says Friday.

Nothing yet

I got my shipping notification yesterday for satin with green canvas. UPS should be dropping it off on Friday.

Got my shipping notice this morning, a satin and a dc both in maroon canvas

Guys, it's awesome.. mine landed today.

With the large grip it immediately reminded me of the BAIII and DABA. Can't wait to get more time using it.

 

[Apocalyps]

Cant wait

LOL

Mine is supposed to arrive today. Awesome. Looks like it’ll be a great one.

Got the pay ding thank you very much Amy

Dang, the handle on these is even longer than I thought. It’s kind of extreme, actually. Not certain yet whether or not it is my cup of tea.

I may have an extra whiskey warden or two, and I missed out on the mentor.

I already have a WW, but I’ll keep this in mind, thanks.

I don't have my Mentor yet, but it would appear that the Whiskey Warden fits smaller hands better (doesn't fit me too well), and this Mentor knife is for us big goons. Got my shipping notice today, looking forward to checking it out!

 

[dobermaniac]

Got mine today, and yeah the handle is huge! The blade shape/grind/size is excellent though

Here's some comparison pics I thought some might appreciate, tried to pick knives I thought were commonly known.
The Mentor's handle is even a slight bit longer than the RMD's! (the alignment is a little messed up so it looks way bigger in the pic)
Pic1- RMD, Boss Street, Scrapax 460, Mentor
Pic2- AMS, Active Duty, Mentor, Game Warden, Whiskey Warden

Imtrying not to ragret not getting in on this one. Satin with black/red/green g10 or all three would have been nice.
