Nice pic! I did my best to resist, but I broke down and ordered one to. To Hell with my wallet! Ordered what must be one of the last, olive drab with mag black handles!

Mine (tan/tan HR) arrived in 3 days, Idaho to Seattle, standard shipping. My first piece of INFI too.
I ordered standard scales, but will probably order magnum on subsequent knives. My hands are pretty much medium-sized - handspan 9 1/4 inches. I went out and chopped down a fence post and then made a sandwich with the knife -- should probably have done that in reverse order -- and was very impressed with the knife. More on my own thoughts on the design later (for what they're worth, whether you-all want em or not
), from me, a guy who has used lots of knives, but never a Busse. Never before thought that I would want to have a $300 knife for every day use.- Joined

Gunsite:
The sheath is a SpecOps Combat Master.
Unfortunately the local SpecOps reatiler only had black and I just couldn't wait...
Besides I was going camping next day and needed a sheath.
Pietrzapk:
The knife came from the company store (great folks to deal with) arrived in about 7 days, but I am in Australia, so that is pretty good time.
Smithsoh:
I mirror all your thoughts -even your fence post sandwich sequence though!
With reqards the scales, I have smallhands (7.25" from wrist to middle finger tip)and because Iof that I also ordered stnadard scales.
But I too reckon Magnum scales might be the way to go evcne for small handed guys like me.
Also like you, I love the design and suspect it to be more general purpose design than many of the other larger Busse designs - but still capable of chopping.
This is also my first piece of INFI and I am loving that steel.
$275USD is not a low price for a user, but I have been using mid range knives (Cold Steel, Aitor etc) for 20 years or so, and don't think I've had one that performs as well as the INFI.
I made a real firm decision that this would be a user and went out and sued it as soon as possible to stop myself from hoarding it.
I see more INFI in my future. And I might even "slum it" with a RAT or two one day.
