Just like the title says. Can you Busse gurus post up the various camo blade finishes, AND ALSO STATE SPECIFIC CAMO THAT YOU HAVE PICTURED?? Man would I really appreciate it guys! This will really help with a purchase decision I have to make. Thanks so much guys!
 
State Specific Camo? Now you got me curious! :)
 
This is the only Cam'ed Busses I own (I think, and there are TWO that have not arrived here as yet) .... I don't know if the patterns have names.







SYKCO blades...

"Urban Shadow" camo:

Urban Camo Hell Razor



Frost Camo Nuclear EDC



I think it's Desert Camo and the knife is a HG55 military over run.



Swamp Rat military over run

 
Leatherman, oh there are a number of different camo finishes, as you will see. My personal favorites are urban camo and jungle camo. However, as jazub and shrapnelwound have posted, I guess it's called urban "shadow"? instead of just urban camo? It's been so long that I cannot recall what exactly the names of these camos are, as well as just how many exist? I was hoping someone with Busse camo knowledge could possibly list the exact names of all known Busse camo finishes, (and we could possibly obtain pics of each), in an attempt to gain Busse camo enlightenment. Thanks for all the pics thus far guys. Keep em comin, and keep the descriptions of each camo coming as well too guy's.
 
Al g blenny, I just now ordered a TGLB (which I'm assuming u meant as well, as opposed to TGHB? Anyhow, what color and handle type is that on your TGLB? Looks like tanker grey with solid black g-10 perhaps? Hard to be sure. ???

There are two variations of the Team Gemini, the Light Brigade and some have started calling the original the Heavy Brigade.

The shadow camo cane in Jungle, Urban, and Desert. The older ones had a rough texture and the newer variations are much smoother. iirc, my old Satin Jack Tac had that rough urban shadow camo

This one has the newer smoother camo



I do have a love for the old Jungle Camo like the two above there. So nice.
 
Damn guys, I've just ordered my very FIRST Busse, a Team Gemini Light Brigade, and I'm honestly torn between tanker grey finish, or urban camo finish! Scales will definitely be green/black G10.
I'm kind of leaning toward urban camo. What do you guys think?

Question for those with an urban camo Busse:

-Is the urban camo finish actually a tanker grey AND black coating sprayed onto the blade? -OR- is it a bare steel blade with just black stripes sprayed onto the blade???
-OR- does it appear if Busse coated the entire blade black, and then proceeded to bead blast away some of the black in order to give the result of urban Cano?
Thanks for your help guys!
 
The urban camo is two layers of coating, the way it wears it looks like gray over black.
 
Leatherman is right. It's Team Gemini Heavy Brigade. Not what Busse called it but it's easier to differentiate that way.
Mine is tanker grey with black canvas micarta. It's the older tanker grey. The new tanker grey is a little lighter and has a little bit of sparkle to it.
The urban camo on my TTKZ looks like black crinkle with stripes of arctic white.
 
:eek: Al, that camo TTKZ is AWESOME!!!

Also I've got a TMDSF that is a user, I'll get some pics soon and post up what they are like after some use...

Here's how my Terror Monkey Desert Storm Fighter (TMDSF) looks now that I've used it a good bit. To me it looks like a Desert Sage-Tan with Black on top. Top layer wears off first.





 
I love the wear patterns that form on a camo blade! :)
