Does Busse make a folder??

Does Busse make a folder??

No. There have been rumors but that's all.

 

[tsiloics]

Well... there have been a little more than rumors.

And, hope springs eternal!

Not folders, just hope.

Busse has made folders (well, at least one model), but they were never commercially released. One was recently sold on Ebay, for around $1500 I believe. It originated from a person who broke a trust with Jerry Busse.

Yes. But it's a big secret...










Sorry mate, just making fun of you!

Kind regards,

They were only concept models? prototypes? something like that.
I don't think more than 10 exist. Probably more like 5.

I think you're right, that it was a prototype.

I heard it was to be made out of RostaFrei steel..

Not only was the seller a jerk for betraying the trust, but also a moron for not getting ten times that price...

Yep on both counts.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I could not believe that the folder sold for that little. There were a lot of bad feelings about that one being sold, because of the never reselling agreement that came with the knife. Suppose to be Uber secret for life (or until the Boss says so).

I have to tell you this, if I had the cash, I totally would have nabbed that one at the price.

Or it could be that the knife wasn't worth more.... something is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it.

I have nothing against Busse and even own a couple but I really didn't think the folder was all that.

A rarity, yes. But hardly the end all and be all of folding knives.

I saw the Busse folder!! It was Unbelievable! The handle is built like the tank! It has an awesome, razor sharp INFI blade with the coolest blade shape!
Then...
I woke up. :yawn:

 

[Dr Heelhook]

I've heard it has magical powers.

 

[Lycosa]

Well YEAH... it's INFI!!!

It was sold on Ebay likely because the seller needed cash fast.

That knife is worth a lot more than $1500 and is a collectors item.

You'll get no argument from me there. There is NOTHING I despise so much as a person breaking trust.

Agreed. I hope there will never be a Busse folder. It can only disappoint. (Unless they come up with a design SO radical it is worthy to have the Busse Combat logo on it. One can always hope!)
