FOLDER Death chat.........................

[Guyon]

Of course, like 'Ducci, I do have one of the proto folders...

Well I'd rather see a folder than a muk, so back up to the top

Jerry should name the folder the F1, for Folder One (because once he sees how good they will sell, he will probably make many, many more).

Also, can you guys imagine a folding CABS (with a little minor tweaks)?

That sounds freakin' sweet.

Does every one want a frame lock, a button lock or the patented design that's like a ball bearing/axis lock?

I love frame locks. They feel robust to me.

Who in the world runs to PM Amy rather than voice concerns directly? That's a little weird.

I was thinking the same, and not just one PM but apparently a few/several.

Who does that, and why?

Anyway.

For what it's worth, I definitely think Busse could and should offer the same warranty on a folder if/when it gets produced and sold. Sure, a few crazy people with tear them up on purpose - some might even chop chains; but other folders, from equal and lesser companies, offer the same sort of warranty - so of course Busse could/should and I bet they will.

I think some have gotten into the habit of suggesting less of a warranty as an attempt to hurry it along or help it see the light of day in the first place. Personally, I can't imagine it's warrantying the things that's keeping them from being available now. I imagine it's both design and tooling/production related, and neither can be taken casually.

I'm a fence sitter with respect to a Busse folder. As a user/non-collector, I'm not even remotely interested unless it's every bit as awesome and tough and classic and interesting as an Umnumzaan or an XM18 or a Locsha and other similar knives. It'll have to be clearly above a Strider, or the best Benchmades and Spideys and so on, in ways well beyond having an INFI blade.

As others have pointed out - Busse already rules the fixed blade market (whether everyone else knows it or not), but this (a folder) is much more complicated and (compared to the fixed blade market) much more competitive in the high end scale and from a design perspective. Frankly, IMO, one doesn't outdo a ZT or an Umnumzaan or an XM18 easily...

That, of course, is in the beefy/heard-use category. Conversely, I'd probably be more apt to buy and use something small and simple and slicey - more like a small Sebenza (with a BAD blade, for example). I think this part of the folder market is much easier to succeed in than the hard-use, and perhaps an easier way/place to offer something more likely to succeed off the bat.

Think about it... a small folding BAD, with a 3" blade... no ones going to expect to be able to pry open a car door with it, so by design and intent it's already ruled out a lot of potential thorny issues for a hard-use folder, and it's small and sheeple friendly enough to be a great small EDC for many.

Anyone have any similar ideas or thoughts?

Just thinking out loud...

Did someone say Folder?

Could you imagine the stampede? Oh, the humanity!!!

I like framelocks but I bet it'll be something unique. Button locks are cool because they can be auto converted.

 

[Sled]

I'm in!!! Bring on a folder!

 

[reddawn]

a titanium frame lock with infi blade would be sweeeeet!!!:thumbup:

 

[matdigger]

FOLDER Please, thank you.
Back to the top

 

[ridgeline]

I think it'd just about have to be a beefy framelock, I don't know what other materials are typically used for framelock knives besides titanium, but I know I want to EDC a BUSSE FOLDER!!!!!!!

 

[Snakedoc]

By the way did I mention......

[matdigger]

4" blade with 0.15" thickness and titanium frame-lock :thumbup:

 

[matdigger]

Forgot to add, maybe all titanium construction of the handle look nice

 

[matdigger]

Seems that the Muk crowd is really excited at the moment, how about FOLDER Muk so both crowds get what they want :thumbup:

Wicked Sharp just gave away a TM BOSS Street over there. :thumbup:If 'Ducci were to give away say...one of his Lochsa folders, he'd probably surpass the MUK Death Chat in 15 minutes!
