Deusker to the Rescue

Paul, thanks for the pic. That 300 swedge tube knife is either a refurb that had it's handles removed and refinished then rehandled with tubes, or it is a later model that was made with a swedge. Either way it is rare.

The knife Jamie shows is very similar in that it has the 300 or in this case, the 1 of 50 sharpened top edge. However, it is either a 300 that was sent in and redone and rehandled at a later time or it was a regular production SHBM that had a sharpenned clip added. Either way it is very rare as well. Two very rare pieces.


Jerry could shed some light on both of these since he should be able to remember these oddities if we could get him to respond.

No problem Dennis....I lost most of my pictures when my computer crashed :( but I still have the few I put on photobucket :D:thumbup:!

I agree, both knives are very rare....I've never seen another like either knife though I'm sure they both exist.

I HAVE asked Jerry some questions about knives and such before and got one answer: "Too much scotch under the bridge." :p I don't think you'll get much info out of Jerry :o

Either way they are rare. Regular production SHBM's being made with 1 of 300clips is a definite rarity, but they do exist. I have seen them listed often, along with a few different types of clips or swedges. The one I got from Roppda is also a 99 model std SHBM with tubes and a 300 clip.
 
Even though it's probably my rarest, my tube 1/300 would probably be the first one to go......and might soon. It's too light :p I also like the BM's with the really meaty grinds....I've gotten picky :D.
 
I have one smooth handle 1/300 that's INCREDIBLY meaty. I'm hanging on to that one...also my two groove handled 1/300's...never leaving as well plus my CG SHBM slotted screw partially grooved. That one would be the last Busse I'd own if I ever had to sell my knives. I don't have any particular attachment to the hollow tube one though. Dunno why...it's a bitchin knife! :p

Highland Park 12! A lovely amber, this dram 'has it all' -- heather, peat, the scent and taste of the North Sea, and the total malt experience. Another long, long finish with a taste of heather honey on the tongue. Many love Highland Park to the exclusion of all other single malts. D

hey I missed this. If you like 12, you will love HP18, it is the best of all HP's, even better than their 25 year old.:thumbup:

we had a taste test at a buddies house and he had ALL the highland parks up to the 25 and I think even 30 and down to 10 or 12 I think. Anyway, everyone there liked the 18 best. It was absolutely the smoothest and best tasting of all. And apparently it also has the highest rating of all the HP's as well.

but I have a current favorite right now, and it is not HP, it is my secret. I gotta go get another bottle before I mention it, so it does not dissapear.:D
