Hi,

I'm trying to figure out what knife is shown far right in this picture from another forum. If anyone knows and wouldn't mind mentioning, I would appreciate it.

I love this knife.

Thanks.

That's it! Thanks, gentlemen.

I've been getting into Bowies lately and this is one of the best full-tang designs I've ever seen.
 
There was also a Combat Grade and a Military overrun with a corrugated blade.
 
Cool. Thanks.

I really would like to see Busse and others build more Bowie blades in the sub-6" range.

Here is a picture of my latest bowie from swamp rat next to the original ratmandu
 
I just saw that Ratmandu Bowie a few days ago. It's sweet. Would like to have one.

But I was thinking something with a narrower blade, like a shrunken HG55, for example.

Or maybe a Bowie version of the Hairy Carry, which is quite a bit smaller than the Ratmandu.

Usually these are found as Custom Shop variants at shows or the occasional Ganza offering, kinda like this Meaner which is really more of a persian style that I snagged at a BLADE Show...

Or this AD variant from a Ganza that is bowie-ish without a swedge...

Garth and the Crew have done many different variants on small Busse's...

...So chances are, you will eventually find one. Or...try calling Garth to see about modding a Bussekin you already have! :)
 
Jaxx, you sure have some sweet ones there. And to the OP I don't think it will take you long to find a Bowie variant of some sort from Busse if you look around a little. I love a blade with a swedge or clip. I just gives it that Americana bad ass look. Know what I mean?

Those are some sweet looking smaller Busse knives. Thanks for the heads-up on the customs, gentlemen.
