Here's an early (Circa 1983) Busse Dagger.

[Jerry Busse]

This is from my brother's collection, and in fact was his design.

I made them from 1983-1986. They sold very well, but were a pain in the catookas to grind. . . as are all daggers.

He called it the "Pull Dagger". . .

D-2. . . linen Micarta. . . .

Cool design!

Your brother is a design genius Jerry - I particularly like the convenience of the built-in bottle opener !

Very nice!

It would be cool to revive some of the "old" stuff. This one looks like a prime candidate!

Wow! Wow!

Yes, definitely for the revival list....at least the Anniversary list...

(Chuck, another for your list...)

Yeah retro Busse's cool idea! Hey the Automotive
industry is doing it.

Keep in mind that the first RETRO'd Busse was the Argonne Assault, although the new one is ALL INFI !! Larry at Bladeart.com will be taking delivery of his first batch of Combat Grade AAs this coming week !

Here is a pic and the info on the AA:

[RVO3VOM]

SWEEEEEET!

I'd love to see a Pull Dagger Retro. Hum, PDR, Personal Defense Reserve? Is it small enough to be a necker?

 

[Raden]

Jerry, WHY do you torture us like this?

 

[Eric Isaacson]

Man, that really is a great looking knife.

If it can actually open bottles then it can legitimately be classified as a survival knife.

Your brother has one heck of a collection!!!

What did one of those babies go for back in the early days?

 

[Andrew Lynch]

Interesting design! I presume the idea is to put your ring finger or pinkie through the hole to enhance grip security (or is it a dedicated bottle opener )?

I like it!
