Design your own Busse

I already did this, but since Busse does not do custom designs, I went to my friend John Kiedasich, of JK Handmade Knives -

My design was for a robust, Busse-like knife that would be indestructible, but also built to my own design specifications.

John has some limits to size, based on the size of his heat-treat oven, so we pushed the limit and came up with the JK XD XT Modern Bowie -

Jerry knows who JK is - he used to go by Stomper here on the forum, and he still has his own forum.

I love it. I have a 18" depth even heat oven should be in anytime. Love to have the print to make this one for myself. I am no where as skilled as this.....yet[emoji3] but soon.

Looked it up. Even heat KH 418 with TAP controller. I got big plans for that beast
 
I couldn't pick just one. But for EDC I'd like a 4" by .17"ish blade that's kind of a mix of the SOB & a Mean Street with a very high sabre grind in INFI with a satin finish. Mate that to a scaled down Steel Heart fusion handle with black & tan G-10, then give it the nuclear meltdown treatment. I would call it the Mean Son of a Nuclear Steel Heart Fusion.

Sure - I checked with JK - and he said no problem - have at it! Following is a link to the pattern I made - just make sure you share a picture of your knife when you are done (or under way even!)

Ryker, that is basically the same blade I drew up in CAD. NMFSOBLBLE. I moved the trademark hole up like on a SAR5, gave the fusion handle the light brigade treatment, added a fuller and dreamed of it in satin INFI. I wondered if they did custom orders like that. Oh well. Maybe i will email them and see if i could buy a chunk of INFI to grind out myself then send it in for heat treat.

Since I got My Ratweiler, handle design is just as important as blade design. I wont get to try out a fusion handle till my WTF BG gets here but from the pics I have seen I think I will like it. Im looking for the roomier handles lately where you can grip it different ways. Full tang Micarta every time for me.

I absolutely love the Ratweiler handle. Looks kind of funky but it feels wonderfull to hold. You can grip it 3 ways too. Short with a finger in the choil, normal and long.
BTW the blade rocks too.

So far I have received a rodent 6, Rucki, CG ASH, CG TG, ASH2 and a 1/4 Ratweiler. So far the Rat is my Favorite!
 
I've always wanted a SR101/Elmax version of this Tourné knife. I've had it almost 20 years and use it for everything from hulling strawberries to slicing open packs of ribs. The recurve and thin blade make this thing a RAZOR! Yes the tip is a little bent :D
I bet CPM 154 would also make a fine choice for it.

I think the B7 blade is just too good to waste or to never be seen again. I'd like it with thinfi and the Light Brigade treatment.

Another use for the app would be for choosing blade and handle color combinations. It would out a lot.
 
In my dream, I'd put a satin jac tac cg on a scrapper 5 mudder handle but make the handle the same size as a trash or 711 (5.5 in length) Super scrapper le. The perfect outdoor knife.
