Having this sterile Game Warden Fatty, with a clip point blade. Have no ruler, but thickness on blade seems to be a little more than .250. Black G-10 handle slabs with a very pointy blade.
Information on this Busse, would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks knife hunter :thumbup:

If someone could supply me with some more info like year, numbers, show- and why is it "sterile" ? Stuff like that...:) Would really appreciate that :thumbup:

Thanks
 
It could be sterile for a few reasons, requested from busse as such, modified/polished , I'm not saying any of those are the reason, just mere possibilities , probably only Jerry knows what the numbers are, as for year/show il let a more trained eye/better memory chime in.
 
It looks to be a re grind due to the difference in finish where the blade meets the ricasso. I've never seen a black G10 Fatty Warden (Tuxedo Warden) with a clip point from the factory or Custom Shop. Not to say they don't exist but I've never seen one.
 
If I had a GW, it would look just like that... Except be .14 stock, fatties aren't my thing. Beautiful blade.

Going strictly on what I see from your pix... Bear with me, I'm staring at a 5" screen. ;)
It looks like it might be reground to me...but I could be very wrong and that it could just be the image causing the effect.
If not reground, it might...MIGHT...be from an old Blade West show...'08, maybe??? There was a period in time a few years back where a lot of blades were coming out of Wauseon without logos, and pix I've seen of the Trough from that show in particular had a majority of sterile/satin finished knives, including GW's.
If done by the Custom Shop, it's a GW fatty variant, and numbers would usually be very low on most variants unless part of a run...

There is a bit of guessing here, hopefully Garth or someone with more or better info chime in. :)

Dont think that you are wrong; because of the finish on the blade is like nothing else i`ve seen on a Busse before- It has a very rough finish, yet polished (not like satin, at all). Thats one of my reasons for posting pics of this knife on BF- It`s a strange knife...:confused:
 
I would say that it has been reground for sure. I have made few clip point game wardens but that was years ago and I drink too much to retain that much information.
