So I am relatively new to Busse, I have been around them and handled them, but never owned one. I wanted you guys that are familiar with them to tell me the model in the first pic that I am posting if possible (The hawkbill one) and if you could tell me all models that would be great, I remember what they were asking on the prices. If you want to throw a value out that would be great, but not needed. The second photo you may not see much but in the back is a Busse "Zombie slicer" I think it had another name on it, but can not remember. I just wanted some input on value and what you guys think. They really grabbed my attention and I have like the company especially as I have handled them and tried their sister company scrapyard.
I also was a little curious about the brand markings and if they are suppose to look like that. Thanks guys.

The one in the middle of the first pic is Badger Attack TAC, the one next to it with the same size is also BATAC TAC different blade shape and handle material.
The third one one is Sus Scrofa I think

The second pic you have Swamp Rat Rucki or Wacki, not sure

The last one from left Argonne Assault, TGLB, and the last one is ASH-1
 
Argonne Assault like that you can get from Busse for $747 +14.50 shipping. The wait time 4-14 weeks.
I think the price tag is pretty good all things considered. I can't see the price of TGLB, I am not expert on pricing for the other Busse.

Thanks, I tried to see one Busses sight what all I could get and so I know that two of the blades I were looking at are not being made at the moment and the Badger Attack I was not sure of and how similar it is to the mean street. The Rucki I think it was and the Sus Scrofa both caught my eye. The Sus Scrofa they were asking $375 and the Rucki was $495 the Badger Attack (one in the middle of first pic) was being asked $475 for it. I think the Satin Badger Attack had a sheath and maybe the Rucki, but none of the others did. (I could always get a custom kydex one for them).
 
where is that store :)

Plus e-mail me whenever you need info :)
 
Cool thanks for the info.

whats local ? are you in UT ?
 
Left to right:

1: Argone Assault, Black blade with red and black G10
2: TGLB/ Team Gemeni Light Brigade,Jungle green blade with tan and black G10, could be green and black G10
3: Sus Scrofa with tanker grey blade with tan canvas micarta.
4: BAE/ Badger Attack Ergo, Black blade with black canvas micarta
5: Badger Attack TAC with dessert sage blade, not sure about handle material.
6: ASH-1/Anniversary Steel Heart, looks like dessert sage blade but could also be tanker grey with grey or black G10. Looks like it might be a saber grind witch i think will make it a ASH/SHSH variant from a show but i could be wrong.................... :D
 
Thanks, did you think the prices are fair? If I can get one straight from Busse at the same price then I do not mind the wait, but I know there are some models not being made at the moment that do intrigue me, especially the Sus Scrofa and the Badger Attack next to it.

I wish, KCK (Kansas City, KS). Utah is one place I have considered moving to when I am done with college. I even have looked at colleges in Utah, but in state tuition is much less expensive especially when going to a 4 yr university, plus the schools here are good for what I am going for.

I cant make out the prices on the photos, what is the prices? in my mind the Combat Grade Anniversary Battle Mistress at 487$ direct from Busse is the best value buy at the moment.
 
That is quite a lot of INFI to stumble across on any given day. Congrats on uncovering that pot of gold. :thumbup:

This is my earlier post which had the prices of three or 4 of the knives I think the Badgers were the same price or very close. For the size of the Rucki I thought the price was not bad. I am not sure about the Sus Scrofa. If I buy one or more I will make or buy a custom sheath for them.
 
That Badger in the middle is not a BATAC it is mistagged, like Lennox said, its a Badger Attack Ergo and is not very common these days, and you cant get one new from the shop. They're long discontinued, in fact they were the first Ergo that was given the axe.

I do like my Sus Scrofa, its got a wonderful edge profile and worth having imho. :)

THe BAtac is a good all around knife and if you can get it at a good price its well worth it.
