Holy crap, why didn't I think of that! A NMCGASHII:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
I hadn't thought of it until Fishface mentioned the ASH1 idea...but I just realized that 2012 would be year #30;)

Since the planets will align and TEOTWAWKI will be ocurring, how about an AAAA...for those acronymically challenged, "Anniversary Armageddon Argonne Assault":thumbup:

Melt down the knuckles and everything that goes with it, make it as long as the original, fly the false edge, AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!:eek:

Consider this as my order Jerry;)
 
7 inch blade sfno type mod. 3/16 at the spine, widening to .270 a half inch below that, then a full convex to the edge. make it look like it was designed by the goods to pry wood apart.

That would be cool .... But would Jerry farm that out to his teams? Or would he contemplate it himself ..... over beverages and smoke?:D:thumbup:;)
 
Nuclear Meltdown FBM, with thumb notches, a sharped swedge, and seretions at the rear of the blade, top it off with a much thinner blade to make it light and fast... Now that is a dreamblade...
 
How about a 9 1/3 inch long blade with a 5 inch straight handled 0.22 thick blade along with approximately a 2 inch depth to the blade. Keep her convexed and this will be a beauty of a camp blade!
 
besides making the folder, I would have to say make a double edged dagger. I saw the one you did for the Blade show, loved it, but lets face it, you just didn't make enough of them and they were higher in price, if you made them less expensive and whith just a full tang without doing so much work, with plain simple handles, we can keep the price down along with ease to make them!
 
You can buy a perfectly good pry bar off the shelves of home depot or your local hardware store. We don't need a custom knife company and 4 design teams to make a pry bar. I think that's everyones point. Not that a strong knife could out pry a prybar.
 
Actually, companies do make funny things like that all the time. That is part of the high-end market. People like weird things that are made to a higher standard. We all know these knives are great and we could be nearly as well served buying $20 knives and machetes at the surplus store.

I am fine with you being so tough about the pry bar idea. It was not an idea with a lot of thought. I said "how about a pry bar", that is as far as I took it. My other idea was thought out. By the way brainstorming is not served well with your limits. I am sorry you do not understand the point.

I would have no reason to be sending out a reply to you or your friend, but you have to be smart so I guess I have to be smart back. You are right, I have not been here for long and I have not been exposed to "the joke" about the pry bar. Thank you for the welcome, it makes me have to wonder about the how useful this all really isn't. We are sharing information about knives and every other sort of thing on this forum so it is sad that the there is some sense of snobbery about how I or any of us should have to talk about knives, especially Busse knives. I am a huge fan of Busse and maybe I do not know as much about them as you. I am here on this forum to learn and it sounds like you are not someone to learn from.

Most Busses ARE pry bars;)

That was really too easy:D


Jerry used a JAck to emergency open a car door already!

I am sorry if my reply to you was a too harsh. I felt like you were trying to stick it to me. Now I feel like were not, but you the other guy was.

Like I told him that was just a throw out idea and I thought a lot more about other ideas for this contest.

You are right, you can also buy perfectly good knives there too. The point is all the best gear that 99% of us do not need and might not ever use.

You know I own one Busse and it is probably all I will ever own. It is an expensive purchase to make and I will probably not be able to buy another. I do use it all the time, I let friends borrow it because it is so great, and I try to get others to understand the reason why these knives are worth it. I like great gear as much as all of us on this forum and I do not see the need to shy away from mentioning another piece of great gear that could exist.
 
I don't know about a pry bar, but a knife styled along the lines of a Becker BKT-3 or like a Razel style would be pretty cool... :)

...A FBM Razel? :D lolz

A Razel in the AD or GW size range, in INFI would be my new work knife.:thumbup:
 
Yes, I am new to a lot of these knives and tools, but I do know those names. Busse could make their mark in that arena with something like that.

I think the issue is that prybars don't normally break, and they don't contain an edge. This means that infi wouldn't increase the users experience of quality in any noticeable way. It would be like making a claw hammer out of infi, while it would be a fun thing to have, it wouldn't really serve a useful purpose over the standard item, and would cost an exorbitant amount. the chances of it being a "hit" *high sales volume* is very very low.

now, if you were looking for a chisel, a wood planing blade, or a wood carving knife: I completely agree that it would interesting and worthwhile to see such edged tools made of infi (in the "boney" configuration - harder and thinner than normal). anything that is non-edged would have to be a small but usable novelty like a bottle opener or a mini multi-purpose pocket prybar to have the kind of sales volume and "cool factor" to be worth using in this limited set of special run pieces.
 
Let's let the pry bar idea and the 5 page responses die and get back to the point.

How about a Waki sized Infi blade with a Dog Father (as an option to micarta) Res-C handle. A true one handed saber type sword that doesn't shock the S out of your hand after clearing limbs and brush.
 
I am with you about the pry bar weak sales thing and smaller novelty having higher potential for sales. I did put a good idea in this thread already and I just threw that out for fun and a couple of guys had to get serious and show me how much they know. The reality is that if I was working for Busse I would not just say anything for the fun of it because it would be all business, but I am not working for Busse and I can have fun with this CONTEST. Thank you for being cool. I really cannot believe the some(2) of the other personalities on this forum.

How about a skeleton active duty with the nuclear meltdown treatment or even a skeleton leaner meaner and offer a satin version and throw a functional choil on it like the HS.

Jaxx said:
I'm not going through this whole thread to see if this has been taken, but...

Active Duty Variant, .270" thick at thickest point for a palm swell on the handle, and tapering down both towards the tip and butt.
Skeletonized with nuclear symbol, NM treatment/ball bearing finish along the spine & tang and talon/lanyard holes.
1/2 inch longer blade length than standard AD, saber grind, satin finish.
Either no choil or a choil large enough for the forefinger (choil optional?).
Checker pattern thumb rest on spine & behind finger guard on the tang... not deep, just enough to be grippy.

Name? Busse Skeleton Active Nuclear Duty, (Busse SAND) unless a better name comes along. :D

It was originally posted on page 7, but a nuclear meltdown, skeletonized AD is a good idea IMO. :thumbup: How sad? Nuclear Meltdown S.A.D.!?!

you would be speaking of the fabled rat sword, which basically a basic5 blade extende out to about 16" on (what was then) the standard battle rat reciprene-c handle. I'm pretty sure skunk has said it's real, but I have my doubts.

it's like the mini tanto and the folder, designs that were shown once a loooooooooong time ago and haven't really had a large showing of active interest since around 2003
