I bet it's like 200 Scrapivores!
Score

I'm guessing it's one Mega MOAB Folder... 3/4" thick 24" blade folder that takes 2 people to open...

 

[Nuker]

Oh boy!… it arrived a day early!
17 lbs was rounding up.


Less box & ancillary packaging weight…


= 14.65 lbs of goodness

32x6x6 box





Now I’ve gotta wait for a buddy to come over for the fun… should be here within an hour.

When he gets here… we’ll start at the top & work down.

Waiting eagerly with a glass of bourbon..

Waiting eagerly with a glass of bourbon..

One glass of bourbon to last through 14 mystery Busse’s?
I trust the bottle is within reach.

The SJT7 has some beautiful scale / liner work.
Maybe maple burl? I’m not very up to date with Crab Shack materials.

 

[Matteo Escobar]

Oh man, some nice ones here

 

[Nuker]

ScoMa tipped me off this one might be a Ganzaa EDC variant.
EDIT: It’s an EMT, Every Mean Trail


duramax is selling this Ganzaa EDC #97 variant. Apparently these EDC models were only available in the ganzaa / unique.

Very similar. I thought there may be more variants.

 

[Boss1911]

#10 looks like a Nano Fusion Warpath

 

[Nuker]

Blade length / thickness & overall length makes me think #1 matches up with a RadioActive Duty.


Kind of neat coated in midnight blue with thick blue liners, since coating was never an option on this model.

Very nice haul! Congrats!

 

[Nuker]

Oh man, some nice ones here

For sure!

Very similar.

I am pretty confident this is not a #97 variant. There was a later offering, with the straight edge (no recurve) and the longer clip.

I remember thinking I din’t need one because I already had a #97. I just can’t recall what it was called, sorry.

ETA - I was right. It’s called the EMT. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...-eastern-on-the-busse-combat-website.1988221/ AND https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/what-is-a-moat-or-an-emt-sneak-peek.1988099/#post-22615486
