I had a thought.........I have a big Birthday coming up in March of 2008. Inspired by our own inimitable Amy-O, I was thinking about getting a special Busse made to commemorate said birthday, but it MUST be something that Busse has previously offered, as I cannot afford $100 per inch.

So.......

I was thinking about maybe a FSH in double-cut w/ black paper or black G-10 magnum scales.........

Or a SFNO in double-cut with snakeskin..........

Or...........what comes to YOUR mind ?

Thanks !!
 
Go for the Busse Anniversary SH! Its coming up and might be a better price - for a Tremdious Knife!!

I know I can not wait for them to be offered!!!

BTW - like Amys?? You want it to be PINK??!!:eek: :D ;)
 
DC or Satin... THICK - 1/4 minimum, 5/16 preferred! SH-1A, FSH, BATAC, FBM. Handles, Green Linnen, Tan Mags, SS or Tiger Hide MAGS, smoothed Black and OD G-10 Mags...

Too many options? ;)
 
SFNO... yep, SFNO. Thick, sculpted G10 grips. DC rather than satin. Maybe something special about the blade that screams "BUSSE!!" Maybe yellow and black G10??

Oh, wait.

I got it! ;)

Along those lines, a dc mag grip SFNO in whatever grip color/material tickles your fancy. :D

Well, no........but she told me she put in for it nearly a year ago, prompting ME to decide what to order soon, as it's only 9 months away....

I've not yet handled a SFNO, but I got a friend getting one, so maybe he'll let me take a look at that.........:D

It may help me with my decision.
 
David, I am just guessing here, but if you ask the shop to make you a DC SFNO with Magnum Tigerhide scales (can't get Mag in Snakeskin), that will STILL be a custom order, as it is not in current production. Check with Garth or Amy. Hell, if you could do that at a reasonable price, we would ALL be ordering our favorite combo.

but if you send Jerry enough Johnnie Walker Blue, and Garth enough Tequila, your plan might work!

of course JWB goes for $200/bottle..........
 
Honestly I was a bit confused to; I've priced a couple of knives through the custom shop and they are range between $100-$150 per inch and I've only asked about existing designs (steel hearts, SFNO, etc). I guess it could be more if you design your own blade, but then it would be more then $150 per inch.

As per Jerry the only way to get a "custom" Busse for less then $100/inch is to buy it at a show or from a ganzaa.

If this weren't the case then none of us would pay the price we pay for knives on the secondary market. The reason it costs $700 for an SFNO on the exchange is that you can't order one from Busse without paying even more through the Custom Shop.

Well to truly do one like Amys you need to get a job at Busse, work your axx off like a crazy person, work your way up, chase chickens, survive the Ganaza ordering process (5 times min), answer the phone and talk to really crazy people like they are old friends all day, ship like a 3 handed madman, drink Coors and post on the forums all night, and then pester (did I say that!:eek: ) the Boss and feed him cheese cake till he finally gives in from exaustion and makes one for you. :)

Thats how you do it - :D :thumbup:
 
For me it would be a Mini Badger III in satin or DC with cool:cool: natural slabs maybe a nice inlay.

Or a MS or AD.

In other words, it has to be small enough that it would be with me and I could use it much or most of the time.:thumbup:

And here I thought it would be hard !!!
 
I may have misunderstood Amy-O..........

Maybe this is nothing more than wishful thinking on my part.....<sigh>.....
 
I'de still like to see a GW with a 4" blade, double cut finish, grippy grips, penetrator tip, now that would be an EDC!
 
If I was gonna spring for a custom, here it is (I've already thought this out). A HOGFSH with a drop/spear point (like the ergos), full flat grind, DC, and green linen scales. How may inches is that? Can I buy it a few inches at a time and put it together myself?
