Here's A Preliminary Drawing Of A Busse Combat Coffin Handled Bowie

[hydeinmind]

Loving this blade and thread!

 

[MattinLA]

No CBT on this one please

And by this one I mean "The Fate Maker"

 

[Garth Reckner]

I feel like this one could go so many different ways and be awesome however it comes out. Every time I look at it I change my mind on what my favorite look would be.

Fuller, no CBT, sharp swedge, 0.20 thickness, 9.5-11 inch blade (whatever is best for balance) with TG Ultra Light Brigade treatment under the scales for a slightly blade-centric balance point with magnum, hand-shaped scales for good grip. Leave the spine 90 degree for striking a fire steel and round the edges in the choil for comfortable choking up. I'll buy 3 of them!

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

I agree, Light Brigade treatment is a must for this model...hope this option makes ....wait for it......... "the cut"

 

[hydeinmind]

If it needs a fuller for balance, great! If not, great! Just bring it Busse!!!

 

[carnifex knifeworks]

Love the fullered version

 

[WalterDavis]

Jeez, call me crazy, but this looks like a fancier, pointier Battle Mistress. Which is AWESOME!!!

I’m a cheap mofo, so one with a fuller, and one with a sawback (I mean, that symmetrical handle would work perfect for a pull-cut saw!) in battle grade, please!

 

[MattinLA]

Saving my pennies...

 

[AZTimT]

That handle is just begging for a forward facing sawback on the no fuller design. It would lighten it up and give us the ultimate 80's throwback as only Busse can do it. The PappySawrus.

 

[Deep_Blue]

I want it and need it.

 

[sidewayyys]

Needs Crusader pointed guards.

 

[ChefKnifeySpoony]

Fuller please, and definitely second (or third or fifth or whatever) the light brigade treatment. This is an awesome project. I need this in my life.

Saw back! My editing is shit but I think it would be sick

 

[ferider]

I love a fuller, but I think this one looks better without it.

This. And the blade on the thinner side please Awesome design.

 

[Deep_Blue]

While I love the full size 10inch blade, I wonder if a smaller 6-8 incher would be better for field carry? I carry and use every Busse I buy, and think a slightly shorter blade on this would make it an amazing general purpose belt knife, as opposed to another Boss-fight ready chopper.

 

[Deep_Blue]

Oh and I also vote no fuller. Tis what the coffin handle desires. However, the overall balance is what's most important, so I suppose that will be the decider.

 

[Don't drop it.]

Convex ? Yes & Or hollow Ground
Corrugated? Yes but only vertical like Hg55 and only on Hollow Ground
Handle? Tiger hide micarta or a revised snakeskin
Light Brigade treatment? Eh I don’t see the point, But depends on balance.It looks thin like the DSF which was not heavy
Sharpened swedge ? Yes on a fighter or a tip that will cut on a reverse swing.
Fuller? Depends on balance but No with Corrugations.

 

[firecog]

No fuller.
Convex.

 

[Smokintheologian]

Light Brigade treatment and a distal taper would be K I L L E R
