Hello all! Long time knife owner here. First time Busse buyer though! Got a large black one and a small fancy one.. I think I may have identified the large one as a scrapyard trash 2 with some kind of coating. But I haven't been able to find any info at all on the smaller one! Please help me identify these two knives names, and any specs would be appreciated also! The smaller one is elmax, it says so on the back
 
Is the "slicer" the name of the knife? I love the saw teeth on top, looks really neat. It says custom shop underneath where it says Busse
 
That is a Crabshack Custom Elmax Slicer.

It’s a one off custom
 
Thank you guys for the help! The handles are truly gorgeous. Is David Brown the designer? And is the larger black one a Trash 2?

David Brown is a kydex sheath maker with a known fetish for saws. :D

For the record, I have a Busse Custom Slicer and it is my favorite knife for small game processing. The Elmax holds the edge or a long, long time.

I think they were initially offered in the SliceOGanzaaa (linked below) and then some more showed up in the Christmas in July grab bags. I got one and it was very neat and very slicey, but wasn't going to get any use from me personally so I moved it along. Great score! The other one is a Trash 2.

Blind Trough Warfare (BTW) is coming your way on Wednesday June 2, 2021 at 9PM Eastern!!!!! The ELMAX customs coming out of the Crab Shack have been epic! The demand for these has been off the charts and they have, typically, all sold out within the first 60 seconds!!! So, what could possibly...

Yup, the larger one is a SYKCO Trash2.
The smaller one is a beautiful Crab Shack Sawback ELMAX Slicer. They were just a Ganzaaa style offer of a very limited run. Not really a specific model name, just called ELMAX slicers because that's what they are. Crab Shack is an endearing term for their Custom Shop. Amidst the slicers there was even a more limited bunch that had a sawback. So you got something pretty special.

David Brown is one of the mods here and he is a custom sheath artisan. People were paging/tagging him cuz he LOVES these sawbacks.
 
Great scores both!

Congratulations. I am also looking forward to my first time at the blind grab trough.
