My guess would be 250-300 for CG and 450-500 for LE.

I agree with P-Easy... 300 for a CG and $450 for an LE with a DC CG in between in price. Hopefully this offerrring will have standard and magnum handles. This blade doesn't need mags IMO. The only negatives to the design are size (it's a tweener) and the clip point (second to a tanto in non-utility) but I am stoked to see a clip point fighter. We NEED more pics!!!
 
i agree, i was talking to another drunk and mentioned the sweep resembled a 1960's Vietnam era buck. only the sweep and convex resembles this, handles are totally diff. that is a 60's 70's era style. kind of a sexy sweep. jerry's blade looks to be taller, and of course .25 INFI!

It also reminds me of the Buck 119 or 120, but the point is lower, and the swedge is longer, like a Persian fighter. The handle angle is different, too.

The LE is just beautiful, the prettiest Busse I have seen.

It's comin' next boys!!!!. . .

Garth found a box of my old patterns in my original shop!!! A case of CBL along with 2 rounds of Minni Britt Winni, and the Busse Old School Series (BOSS) was born.

We took my old HG55 pattern and gave it a modern Busse Combat treatment and Boy Howdy it looks pretty darned amazing!!! :eek: . . . :D. . . :thumbup: This blade was a very popular custom model for me during the early 1980's.


1/4" thick. . . . 5.5" Long Blade. . . . Thumb Grooves. . . Wicked cool ! ! ! !

Stay tuned for pics within the week!!!!

Let's Drink!!!!

Jerry :D

You really don't like it? It's growing on me quite a bit. I like the clip point on it as well as its size. What don't you like?

choil. no fighter should ever have a choil on it, ever ever ever ever. a choil can get caught on thin cotton fabric. doesn't even have to be leather. any knife can be used as a "fighter", but if it's going to be a fighter from conception, there is no excuse for a choil.

I think i'd like this a little better then the satin jack, but I don't carry a satin jack for the same reason. bring the blade back to the guard and you've got (to me) a stunningly beautiful blade in every regard.

You are right about the choil. Busse's all seem to have huge choils. The SAR5 is the exception but it's handle is :barf:

A while back I added an upswept swedge to my RMD which when sharp makes using a ferro rod really easy...

Now it looks like I can have my Infi RMD but in a slightly thicker blade which actually I like even more!:cool: I only hope they will do a Double Cut Version of the LE with black linen grips! As a military user I think it is ideally tactical if the finish is right:thumbup:
 
If you pass on this one HOGS. RATS and DOGS, you'll surely live to regret it. I see it rivalling the old SATIN JACK in value increase. Can't have just one.
