Some people were just born knife geniuses, and then Jerry put those people to shame :thumbup:

Some awesome knives right there
 
Holy cow! i know why its called Busse Combat! several of the new offerings are great but go into bushcraft or utility knives. Those roots are combat all the way. Not to say I would not trust a busse of any design in combat, just that those are some real war machines
 
:eek::eek::eek: Now those are my kind of knives! :eek::eek:;)

Bossman,
I would LOVE to see, at the very least, those first three (and the fifth pictured - who am I kidding; ALL of them pictured) make the cut (if not production, in BadAzzzKnifeGanzaaa :rolleyes:;)) at some point! :thumbup:

Stunning, simply stunning!!!:eek::eek::eek:

Those are ummm...well...nicely detailed? How many aliens were you expecting in the invasion?

For those that like these, maybe they were dug out of the broom closet and will up in one of the mini closet ganzaa thingies some day? Unless the aliens stole them.
 
cool, does this mean the janitor's closet is open ?

Not sure who came first since there was quite the rush by nearly all makers to jump on the hollow handle survival trend started by the Lile First Blood knife. My first hollow handled knife was actually inspired by the hollow handled Randall and came out a couple of years prior to the movie.

There really is only one similarity between Parrish's knife design and my own that I can recall. They had completely different blade shapes, completely different teeth, and completely different guards, but the hollow handles were similar. As I recall, I was the first maker to rake the spine teeth forward, making the cutting or sawing motion a forward push instead of a draw to the rear. It doesn't sound like an impressive design improvement until you actually try sawing with one of these monsters.

Parrish made some really nice knives and achieved outstanding performance from 440C. I believe that his saw tooth back was designed for cutting sheet metal as opposed to sawing or notching wood. This was a much better idea for those who might need it in an aircraft emergency survival situation.

My hollow handle was designed to be waterproof and was capable of holding 2 shots of bourbon!!! :eek::D

Let's Drink! :thumbup:

In my opinion I think the new design for the handle of a good survival knife should hold a BUDWEISER not two shots of whiskey, I know this sounds big for a handle but Beer is important JERRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine 50 kegs of beer that have been concentrated to fit into the hollow handle. Suddenly, without warning, you find yourself lost in the wilderness. You empty the contents into a nearby mountain stream. You dive in with your mouth open. Life is good. You are still lost, but who cares? You're hammered and all is well!!!! :thumbup:

Beer is important!!!! :thumbup:

Awesome work! Has a definite Rambo feel, i think its the saw teeth.

Do you still have the first knife you ever made?

I've got the first two pieces of steel I ever welded together and it cracks me up every time to look at it.
