Hey,

I'm a relatively new Busse collector / fan and I was looking for a place to get some historical specs and prices on the Busse line. Bad Mojo had a limited amount of information and it seemed dated to me, unless I just wasn't looking in the right place. I went back through time and constructed a spreadsheet with the limited information I could find. Does anyone have something similar they can share with me?

Thanks,

Greg

I'll open it up to forum members, here is the information I'm tracking:

Model
Blade Length
Overall Length
Weight
Thickness
Price
Year Introduced

Check a couple of posts down for the latest version.
 
You and Paddlin Man should team up. He did a similiar thing for swamp rat knives, a notably easier task. I'd love to see the stats on the pre-2000 stuff myself. Great job on the chart. Thanks.:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks, I plan on revisiting the archive tomorrow and doublechecking my info, then I'll probably compare it against the mad mojo numbers (I found some differences). After that I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the chart, I put it together to get familiar with Busse knives and their history. Maybe I'll post it somewhere if it makes sense.

Greg, he'll probably see this and just respond, but send Paddlin Man a PM about what you're doing. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/member.php?u=134587

I proposed doing what you're doing with him a while back after seeing his archive of the Rats. He was all for it, but I flaked. You should make a link to it in your signature line like Paddlin Man has for his extravaganzaa rules and "Rodent Heritage".

True, I've got a few hours into this very project. I began coordinating with a couple of other hogs on combining the info into a central repository. It looks like you guys have done an excellent job so far!

;)

(I love the free exchange of information!! Fueling the addiction!)

Once I'm done, I'll email you the information in any format that you can use. Just let me know what works for you.

OK Folks here is the latest version, I changed the layout so that it was more readable, I added Series categories and adjusted some numbers - I'm going to hit the archives after work and see if I can confirm all the data.

And please, be advised not all blades are INFI there. Because of that reason I excluded the Shark, Holy Tearer, Stelth Hawk, Fillet knife, Basic Line, Police Recruit, Urgent Fury from my catalogue.

Do many hogs want A2/D2 instead of INFI even with Busse logo? Guess few knife maniacs/collectors. ;)

The ones I could confirm are all INFI, can't say for sure on the non confirmed models (missing Year Introduced).
