Busse Custom Variants For Our Friends At Himalayan Imports!!!!

[Jerry Busse]

Here are a couple of pics of 2 Busse Custom Fusion Steel Heart Variants that will be sold on ebay after the BLADE Show to benefit the families of Uncle Bill Martino and Rusty. Our friends over at HI sustained a devastating blow with the loss of these two great men. Our hearts and prayers go out to their friends and families.

These Tribute Fusion Steel Heart blades were hand ground by me and have a khukuri inspired, gently recurved blade and feature a full height convex grind.

Our friend and fellow HOG, Hdwrlover will be handling these for us and we thank him for his generosity and compassion.

Thanks Wendell!!!!!! You da' man!!!!

Just be sure to bring it to blade... That way I can get you drunk and trade you it for a cigar

Truely sad losses.

Jerry is the first manufacturer to step up to the plate and offer two valuable knives to benefit Uncle Bill's and Rusty Slate's surviving families.

Also, thank you Peter La for posting the link telling the background on Uncle Bill and Rusty. They are most admired and respected.

Both the Busse and HI forums have the most traffic in Blade Forums. Hogs go and visit sometime - but watch out for the sharks!
