I think my father got these at two different times in the Ganzaa's. He is no longer around for me to ask. The top one is about 14.5" long (total, blade is about 8 1/4 inches long) and 5/32" thick handle appears to be some kind of G-10. The second is about 12" long and 1/4 thick, blade is approximately 6 1/4" long handle might be G-10 or micarta, you guys would know better. Top two say Busse Custom Shop. The bottom is one of four consecutive serial number knives, handle material is rubber, blade length 10", overall length 15". I also have three Swamp Rat Rodent Wakis. None of these have ever come out of a safe and I am not a collector, so they will all be sold. I have the knives he wanted me to keep for sentimental reasons. I think he got on a serious fetish for these, Treeman Knives, and every Spartan blade made plus a half dozen Bark Rivers. Thanks for your help.

Not seeing any pics man. The big one Im betting is a steel heart of some sort. And lets guess and say the 2nd is a sfno :D
 
Yeah its a sweet ash (anniversary steel heart) with modified blade profile. Kinda looks like OD G10 but it could be black micarta juding by the lighting. Maybe even a camo job, if not then sage color coating.

The basic 10 is a choil version (other option was a no choil), res C is the handle material.

And the Fury is a fatty with sweet grind. Satin with coyote multi colored G10 :thumbup:

The basic 10 is really the only common one. The others were either show blades or limited ganza offerings.

These look like knock offs, send them to me for testing so we can be sure! :p Great scores, Congrats!!:thumbup:
 
If you only keep one knife for the outdoors/camping.... Keep that Basic 10!!! It's the best all around camp knife Busse has ever released!!! Indestructible, light, good geometry, useful blade length for multiple chores and the Res-C handle insulates your fingers in the cold. They haven't come out with a better all purpose outdoor blade... yet.
 
You won't be disappointed with that B-10 they are great all around camp brutes!!!!
 
Definitely keeping one Basic 10.

That's clear thinking! Glad you changed your mind... you won't regret it. and if Busse ever does release the B8, then you can sell the B10 for one of those if you want to (that was the "yet" I was referring to earlier):cool::thumbup:
