Bussekin sans handle slabs

[Busto]

As Jerry was proud to post pics of how the TGULB was shaved under the slabs, I’m just interested in similar shots of a CG PR, NFBA and/or ASH-1 to see ‘what’s under the hood’ and if it would be comfy to hold the bare handle shapes.

That particular handle machining was as far as I know only on "Light Brigade" models all others retain the Flat full tang design. That machining step is probably cost prohibitive for all other models and the "LB" models would lose their Uniqueness.

The black paper scales are off of an ASHBM to add some liners, and I also have a CS Culti awaiting some "free time" to add the snakewood slabs... but both of those are a little outside the blade length range of interest. However, I can photo-document if it helps?!?

That was my second suggestion but I couldn't bring myself to suggest dismantling my favorite mid-size Busse

I have a brand-spankin-new CG HOG Badger sitting in the safe for this very reason

Green canvas Micarta scales are sanded down on the HOG, but as should be apparent, are not taken down so far as on the ASH-1.

Perhaps Ken's mods will inspire me (and/or whisky), as I also have some really nice stabilized burl to put on it!

Thank you again Ken.

Sorry for the confusion. All that I’m interested in is pics of the bare INFI of those initial three blades that I mentioned.

I’ll post some pics, too, but all three are designed very similarly. Although the ASH-1 is ~ too long for IWB for me (I’m 71” tall), I’m assuming that the meat under the handle materials are also designed similarly.

Interestingly, your personal grip shaping seems suspiciously like the Nano Fusion treatment, which much feel fantastic on the larger of your sportsman EDC rigs.

Thank you for the engagement! Again, sorry for lack of clarity on my part.

Thanks for the clarity, and I am sure it was mostly me, not you. Interesting thought about the shaping vs NF handles. I DO like the NF, but in the end they feel a bit long for me and my tastes. Maybe this is my sweet spot? Thanks!

Ha! The very idea that my hack attempts inspire anyone to anything is very encouraging to me! Thanks! (and yeah, whisky most definitely helps!)

I was hoping that they (PR, NFBA, ASH-1) are flat INFI stock. Just looking to find some pics as I wish that a bare (no grip slabs) Park Ranger or Badger Attack would be comfortable without grips.

A fun side discussion, none-the-less!
Thanks gang

Here are some shots of my (from L to R) , CRK Insingo Professional Soldier, CG Park Ranger and NFBA, all in custom PirtleMade. The left two have Mummert IWB Slotted Clips.

I really appreciate the above suggestions and comments. And still hoping for any pics of the two on the right w/o grips pls.

My HG55, it'a a bit larger than you requested, but it's one of the best <if not the best> Busse models there is, imho...

nekkid as the day she was born :

here's another brother's <maybe KNIGHTENFORCER, iirc> TGLB that I've always kept the AMAZING pics of the LB handle:

Great pics, thank you!
