Busse in the Books.

interesting.
why must, in all types of media, they give the villain/psycho the knives? that just give knives a bad image. i'm sure this has been discussed before, but seeing it again and again is annoying.
sorry for being so OT, but didn't have anything else to say.

Could not agree more but not much we can do to make image of knifes any better. It just happens that knife is easiest and effective weaponry.
 
That's funny...I recall seeing this somewhere. I actually read the book! For school, not a personal choice in the least.
 
can somebody quote it? I can't get it to work on this machine. :(
 
I used to know a guy named Kent Krueger; I wonder if they are one in the same.

At any rate, I would guess the author is a Busse owner, or least a fan. Why else would he go into such detail naming a knife?

Nice find!
 
Nightmare used a combat knife, a Busse Steel Heart E with a seven-and-a-half-inch blade. He made two cuts, a long arc that half-cucled his nipple, then another arc beneath the first, smaller but carved with equal care. The effect was a rainbow with only two bands and a single color. When he lifted the blade, he could feel the blood on his chest, black worms crawling down his skin in the dark of his motel room.

Agreed.

That would be a difficult angle to hold/cut with a SH-E length aye.
 
If you think knife characterizing is bad, start watching for cigar smokers in movies. It will always be the bad guy.

In what sense is a Steel Heart E a "combat knife," apart from the fact that the word "combat" appears in the name of the company that made the knife? It seems much more a utility/camp knife than a fighter to me.
