Have a question for Jerry or Amy-o.I'm buying a FFBM LE and it has river eight butt mod.Will Busse still honor the lifetime warranty if it breaks?And are those Killa Zilla knives going to be available anytime soon?I've seen the test model's,totally frickin awesome,want that,need that:D
 
The Killa Z's are prototypes, and as I understand it, a Busse Prototype doesn't necessarily mean they are going to produce the knife. The current Killa Z's are for testing purposes, and the Busse crew is collecting test data from the testers.
 
As for the FBMLE, do you know who did the Butt Mod? If I'm not mistaken, River had his sent in to Garth. Regardless, I don't THINK it would void the warranty because you're not going to break the Butt, but I'd PM or email Amy-0 anyway. She'll be glad to help you out.

If we did the modification then the entire knife is covered, if we didn't, and the modification is the cause of the failure, then only the parts of the knife that weren't modified are covered.

Hope that helps,

Jerry :D

The edge won't be covered by warranty on this one then(from what I've been told in past), and if it was a FFBM(as you stated) and was taken down to Satin finish the blade won't be covered.
Do you know for sure if it started as a coated FFBM.

That being said, I have a Busse done by Ban and am not worried about the warranty at all. I can't imagine how I could break the thing.
 
Actually Ken,it was originally a ffbm le just had the edge convexed and the butt modded.So I'm not sure,Kirk
 
Yes, I remember that one. It was a FBMLE. The butt of the handle has been reground. The blade itself was not touched other than the edge being sharpened to a convex edge.

Oh, Ok, it was a FBMLE. You threw me off with the FFBM LE since one was never made. Thought it may have been a reg FFBM.

I see Ban only did the edge, but from what I understand the edge won't be covered. If the blade broke it would be covered, but if edge damage only the edge won't be covered since heat treat of edge could be affected.

I may be wrong, but thats my take on what Busse has said. I would call Busse to get a 100% correct answer. I'm been wrong plenty a time:p

IMO, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think you'll ever have a problem, and your getting a knife thats been sharpened by the best there is at the convex edge. Ban is the man!
