"HOG Muk" Proto. . . Sneak Peek ! ! ! !

Hey the Jack squealing guys are trying to compete, I'd be in their camp too but the later Jack comes out the more chances are there of me buying it, so lets make sure the MUK gets here first.
 
Wait til we filet your hide like Predator, Bravado! ;)

How did you think he did it to Ahnold's team in the first place?? He had the pre-proto Hog Muk, of course.

If Busses were made solely as a combat knife the designs would probably be a little different, as would the heat treat and grinds. I may catch flack for this, but there are about 400 knives i'd pick to get in a fight with before I brought an FFBM to a knife fight. Busse knives are in fact hard use "utility" blades, which happen to be used for "woodcraft" more than "combat". I'm not saying your average HOG is running around in the wilderness, living on twigs and berries and whittling spoons, but most Busse knives get used against... wood, not people. I can probably count on 1 finger, and I probably won't even need that how many insurgents have been killed with a BARF or a Terror Monkey (I could be wrong, who knows? I mean no offense by this), but i'm going to need a whole lot more hands if I were to count how many cord of wood have been chopped and split with the Battle Mistress since it's release. Now if we're talking "combat knife" in terms of "survival knife", then sure, most Busse designs are "survival" oriented, originating from bomb proof designs that can take abuse. The thing is, what is a survival blade? To me it would be one that could provide:
Fire (wood craft)
Shelter (wood craft)
Food (Traps etc.. wood craft and game prep)
Last ditch defense (There ya go, not wood craft, but 1 out of 4 isn't that great a ratio)

This isn't to say Busses make bad "combat" knives, there are many knives in their line up I'd love in a knife fight, but to say "it's Busse COMBAT, not woodcraft" is absurd, when you look at the practical application of most of the blades in the line up through the years, it's probably a lot more woodcraft than eviscerations.

Yes, yes it is called Busse Combat, and yes, Busse Combat does make some "combat knives", but really, are you more likely to bring an NMFBM into combat or to camp? We aren't Spartans. Put me in combat and give me an m14 with an acog and a 4 inch blade, not a 2 lb knife with a 10 inch blade and a shield.

Many people who buy "busse combat" knives, buy them not for combat, but both utility and "wood craft", others buy them because they're pretty and stare at them. No matter what your reason is for owning them, you cannot deny the obvious fact that more Battle Mistresses have battled trees, than people.

Jerry does a lot of different blades for the military, which I presume are for more superior in terms of combat capabilities then most of the stuff offered to the civilian market, just FYI. Also untrained person would be much better of with BM for a combat knife.

With all that said knife in todays combat is more of a tool then a weapon, so soldier carries it to dig, pry, build shelters, etc., there fore the knife that is superior for survival is a superior combat knife as opposed to DorkOps style of blades which are built with a specific purpose in mind.

Granted I guess I'm just to novice in knives to see what the MUK is actually designed for, I'm not hunter so I naturally assumed its for dressing game, but now I think i was wrong. I always carried a more conventional style of blades with me so am not sure what to make of this.

All I know is I want the MUK to come out first because if BOSS Jack comes out first I'd be broke and not able to afford it.
