Busse recurve models

Then there is Marco Bolo. I own one (top in photo). My first Busse ever. Still the fave.

I have seen (I think) a CG in black

That's it!! The Marco Bolo. How could I forget that evocative name. I, too, have a few.

sorry about sharpening that one
had it not been for the choil, I might still have it on my hip. Such an awesome handle.

Wasn't the Marco Bolo a production run as well? Sweet knife. What are the dimensions?

Not really. The few that were made are marked as Protos -- mine certainly are.

Sharp portion of blade is 6", overall length is 12". The knife is 0.21" - 0.23" thick at the spine. As you can see in the pictures there is a smooth thumb ramp just after the grip. The spine of the knife has the nuclear meltdown treatment. The tip is sharp and effective for drilling.

All in all, a fine midsized knife. It just didn't make it into full production status. Perhaps someday.
