I love the proven toughness of INFI and the great ergonomic handles featured on Busse blades. And I own enough Busse knives to prove it. The F-16 looks like a great chopper which could double for many different uses. Especially in a survival situation, if that was the only blade on your person.
That said .... No nuke option for me. So Busse wants to get rid of excess handle slab inventory? To give you something you may not want and can't return, if you don't. And actually charge extra for it? Gimmie a break.
I ordered the F-16 in comp finish with black and green G10 handle slabs.
And another thing:--- A leather sheath is inadequate for such a long blade with a point so sharp as this. In a fall or some kind of tussle, the point could easily pierce the sheath and your thigh, as well. Offering a kydex scabbard, from a reputable maker, would have been more appropriate, IMO.
