This has to be the best deal in a Busse blade ever. It’s one of my all time favorites! In fact I’m actually giving them out this year for my closest friends and family. These blades won’t be around for ever.
 
It's a pretty epic knife. Blade is thinner than most offerings. Very good for Slashing and cutting. It is overall shorter than tg nano, but has roughly the same edge length.

Handle slabs are also fairly thin, making it great for actual carry. Still fits great in hand.

In a forward facing icepick grip, the tip lines up with a center of the handle fairly well making it a better stubber then the wide blade profile would suggest.

Sheath has a bit of rattle at the tip, bit fits very securely. Might be a bit too much so. However, a pronounced thumb ramp provides enough support to make drawing it easier. Especially with a bit of practice it becomes a non-issue.

You can read up on sr101 steel for more info. Coating will wear but should provide decent protection from the elements

I hope you know that I consider you one of my closest friends. Please let me know if you need my shipping address. Thanks buddy!
 
One can never have enough close friends. I have added you to my list. Unfortunately just like the last offer of this knife the trough has been emptied before everyone had their fill…
So perhaps next season I will see if I can move you to the top of my list. A good way to get there is by me sending you my address and you priming the pump…
