Disclaimer: I don't know how reasonable these prices are. I am not associated or affiliated with the seller at all. This post is for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the forumites Busses that have become scarce, or unheard of.
 
The top one looks to be A2.

The bottom one is very interesting! I wonder if it was factory or aftermarket.
 
The iron wood slabs were not done by us. They look cool though.

Check out that early Eagle sheath on the top pic. Very cool!

send me your mean streets and i'll put some good ol idaho sagebrush scales on them. and for you... al most free today!! :D
 
Great Looking Ironwood :eek: :eek:

Anyone recognize the knife that Mike has an Ebay link to?

I notice there isn't a Talon hole, interesting...

Crinkle coat though, I wonder if it is INFI?
 
That knife is NOT a Busse Combat knife. It was an apprentice knife made out of 5160. They were sold for about $35.00 with a 550 cord wrapped handle and no sheath. To say that it is a Busse Combat knife is a gross misrepresentation.

Apprentice knives were "practice" knives that our apprentices ground in order to learn how to grind. They are not Busse's and are not warranted.

Actually I thought it looked more like the Lil Ugly w/handles. The blade lines are more that than Mean Street.

Lemme post both and see what you think.
 
Hey, I just saw an ad for a really cool little Busse knife called the Lil Ugly. The price seemed right too. Can I still order one for the $87.50?

I'll take one too!:D :cool:
 
I sent a message to the seller on Ebay about the non Busse knife that he is trying to sell as a Busse knife. The seller replied back that he would change the description and thanked me for my input. That was 2 days ago, and the title and description still says Busse Combat knife. ??? I also sent messages to all 3 bidders, just to make sure they know exactly what they are bidding on. One of them replied back, thanking me, and said he would probably retract his bid.
