She says you can't buy knives, doesn't she?
"Get away from me evil temptress!"

Tony, lets see if I got this! your sending in your AD for service and your taking pic's tomorrow of your new girlfriend? is that right? is she nice? and what's wrong with the AD? Did the new girlfriend scratch it?


this post is very confusing without pic's!
:D :D







Congrats on the new AD:thumbup:
 
Here are a few photos of the AD. I added one with some other knives that may be more familiar to some new people for a size comparison. It is a little bigger than I expected and that is a good thing.

I was wondering if the scales on this are Snake Skin, the Warden is Snake but looks a lot different.

Tony - They are Snake Skin Nukarta.
Original special email offer on 11.3.2002 - "The special offer is as follows: The regular price is $267.00 with an 8-12 week delivery time on this particular model. If you are one of the first 150 to order, or if you order within the first 7 days of this offer (whichever comes first), you will be able to purchase the Active Duty at the special introductory price of $237.00 and your knife will be shipped within 12 working days.
The Active Duty is destined to become your favorite knife. This great little blade is small enough to carry everyday and tough enough to tackle the most difficult chores. The SnakeSkin Nukarta handles are standard on this model and really set off the satin finished blade. The blade is etched with the Busse Custom Shop logo as each knife is completely hand finished. The handle shape allows for a very comfortable grip for both large and small hands and the new grooved shape safely secures the user's grip when being either pushed or pulled.

  • Extremely sharp zero edge configuration
  • SnakeSkin Nukarta handles
  • Natural oiled leather pouch sheath
  • available in either left or right hand models"

A great addition to your collection. Thanks for the pics!

The Snakeskin, as are all other micartas, is a laminate. Depending on the depth and pattern cut into it, you will get varying colour patterns.

Very nice comparative pic there man...

Thanks!!:thumbup:

Hey thanks for that info! That was cool to see.

I love the knife and it gave me an idea for a custom maybe with black paper.
