Busse manufactures in China

[Phil36]

Look the Chinese now make their own Mr. Mojo. Check it out. It must be awesome. I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison with the real thing. Although I'd expect it to be a very short show...

I'll wait until they are selling the Uncle Mofos before I buy one.

I've actually come to heavily prefer the screw/standoff method of handle fasteners. you can get plenty of torque to keep them tight, especially with hardened screws/stand offs, and if you do end up sheering the handle slabs it's very easy to replace. You also have the option of getting at the tang for rust prevention without a machining process, only assembly.

the parts handling part of it would make mass production difficult, but for the at-home connoisseur it has a lot of advantages.

 

[Tyrkon Lawson]

Ya that was pretty blatant. Looks like Jerry trampled them though.

 

[dingy]

manufacturing fake is shameful

Don't laugh. Europeans and Americans have laughed before at Asians copying our stuff, but it was usually they who had the last laugh.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is said, and there's a reason why some knife brands and makers are imitated.
No one will ever mistake such a knife for a Busse, but that doesn't mean these will be bad knives. Or they may be now, but give it some time.

I think it may actually be a good thing. These knives might be bought by people who want a Busse but cannot afford one, they certainly will never compete against each other, and prospective Busse buyers will never buy a copy. That's why it's important that it must be clear that these are NOT Busse knives, but imitations, under their own brand name.
And if design is copied too exactly, apparently action is taken.

That sheath was cool, tho.

That sheath looks just like a cold steel sheath.

I translated it, and it sounds like it's made from INFI:

I believe that eagle with a hawk to make fine knives has always been the subject of ideas, materials used definitely better than the vast majority of the 440 D2 imitation knife marked to be really better than the quality.
