D2 Prototype Rat Pics.....inside!!!!

[Eric Isaacson]

Here they are my friends, some of the coolest designs we've ever had and they can soon be yours. These are not yet for sale and these are the prototypes so there may be slight variations. If you want to check them out closer come to Blade show over the weekend

1/8" thick D2 blades, ground extremely thin to make these excellent cutters

blade length approx 4 1/2"
OAL approx 9"

and our new contoured "mudder" Resiprene C handles, these babies won't be slipping from your hands when you are skinning game or cleaning fish

 

[lionken07]

[Eric Isaacson]

[Zal]

Things that make you go mmmmmmm.

 

[Eric Isaacson]

2 down 2 to go

BTW the last one I will be posting is my personal favorite

 

[viking313]

Eric....they are some slick looking blades!!!I think I am in love with the third one......

 

[Andrew Lynch]

WOW!!!!!! A durable, grippy, comfortable handle + high performance light duty steel + legendary Busse heat (and cryo) treat + ultra high-performance grind = the above.

What can I say. I will have one!!!!!!

 

[Zal]

Lynch, I think they did a better job with texturing the handle than you did.

 

[TCRooster]

Incredible! I too am liking that third one A LOT!!!!

Hope these don't stay protos too long.

OM-flippin'-G!! Not a clinker in the bunch - skinny D2 stock full flat-ground by the looks of it, useful blade shapes, knubbly "locked in" handles, choils, lanyard hole on each one, and if the prices for these are as reasonable as the Rats are famous for I foresee some "shock and awe" damage to my credit card in the very near future.

If I may ask, what sheaths come with these bad boys??

 

[Eric Isaacson]

And my personal favorite, something I like to call the Sheeps Bill

BTW RokJok,
Most likely Tan leather sheaths

 

[Eric Isaacson]

And I forgot to add...

The weight is approx 4 oz each

 

[Jennifer_Busse]

Wait until you guys feel these handles. I don't know quite how to explain it... but they're almost impossible to put down!

I've seen a bunch of the "Busse Combat" guys walking around the shop holding these swampies.

[Blop]

Looks, the blades are bead blasted?? Or not? Can´t see it exactly.

 

[Raden]

HOLY ()&%^ Those are some freaking awsome blades

 

[tknife]

That 3rd one looks like the absolute, PERFECT sized and shaped knife for everything! I need that one!

 

[Andrew Lynch]

OMG, that is the sharpest, meanest sheep's bill I've ever seen!!
