Where can I find all of Busse's models? www.bussecombat.com>>>Knives is showing their 2 newest(?) models... Where can I see rest of them? All sizes and models...
Btw, how wide are blades on their 2 newest models, I mean from spine to edge? On the pictures they seem extremly wide...:confused:

Thanks,

Those are the only current models available from BUSSE. You can go to the BUSSECOMPANYSTORE.COM to see some other available models. You can find info on BUSSE here bussecollector.com. Enjoy your ride here.

If you want to buy anything other than the current production line you'll have to hit up the secondary market. The Exchange here on BF sees a lot of INFI traffic, E(vil)Bay also sees some INFI flow. If you want something specific you can post a WTB in the WTB knives section...takes a while, but you'll get want eventually, assuming you invest enough time and have enough money of course.
 
Another nifty avenue is the sticky at the top for pics only....nice place to get inficted :thumbup: Welcome :D

Thanx, man!
But i can't belive that these knives are the only ones that are aveilable for purchasing...:confused:

I think Satin Jack looks "normal":D But where to buy it?? It's not on the list of "aveilable" knives...:grumpy:
 
Available knives at the Company store are always changing, just a few weeks ago there where Game wardens, skinny ASH's & AAD's. They go fast so you have to check often.

Bubba nailed it head-on. I would like to add as testament to the luxury of having the Exchange and WTB/WTT forums here on BF... recently, I posted a WTT/WTB ad for a Busse Nuclear Ice Pick and within a few days, I got 2 bites. Both NIP's were in PERFECT condition and the guys were Class-Acts as far as honesty and trading goes. Top notch members on board here, that tote the INFI around. If you want something, post an AD!!! Chances are, you will get just what you are looking for!!! Good luck man!

allright, I'll check out the store from time to time. Also, is there others dealers who market Busse?
 
check out HERE

BTW the Skinny ASH IS an AWESOME blade. get it while you can. no joking, no regrets.
 
Thanx for tip, reconseed and ikkyo!
But I have nothing to offer. I'm looking for buying a knife. I'll put my money in Jerry's pocket because CRK doesn't want my money - which means they are unwilling to sell a Pacific without serrations along the edge.
I want freedom of choice! How difficult can it be, damn it?!:mad:
The sooner you understand that you live on satisfied customers the longer your business goes on....It's simple as that.
 
I will measure it for you, when I arrive home...;)
(maybe another BF member will do it before me...)

Take a deep breath and just be patient, if you ask they will come, its not that difficult. But when you buck the system, it gets a little rough.

Like Reconseed said, post a wanted to buy ad in the exchange, it does work.
 
Yes, Busse Combat has an unusual business model, but, hey, it works for him. For the last two years the pattern has been for Jerry to design a new knife, put up pics on his site, and open the order book. At some point they will then begin making the knives and shipping them out. Eventually that model will come off the site, and there will be a dry spell as we await the next model. Overruns or variants of various knives may be available for immediate delivey through the primary dealer, the Busse Company Store. There are also special sales events, called ExtravaGanzaaaas, where a limited selection of knives will be made available on a first come, first served basis. The next 'Ganza is likely to take place some time after the Blade Show. Busse also has a table at the biennial Knob Creek show, and if you are near Ohio or Indianapolis, they can be found at certain gun shows. Everything else is secondary market sales.

Despite these apparent difficulties, some of us have spent WAY too much on these toys, and had lot's of fun along the way. :D Stick around.

Like he said it isn't that hard I bought 150 of them in one year. Others bought more :eek: :eek:
 
I was going to suggest the next 'ganza, as resinguy did (I think there's always been one after the Blade knife show in Atlanta). Blade starts at the end of the month, and something special often makes an appearance for the big show. I expect a 'ganza to be posted on this forum at the beginning of next month -- pictures of what they'll be taking to Blade could appear any day now.

Acknowledging that this is the Busse Combat forum and that's what you asked about, you might also look at two other knife companies operated by Busse family members, Swamp Rat and Scrap Yard; they've both announced an upcoming Every Day Carry sized release in 154CM. INFI is top of the line, but many of us also buy other Busse steel flavors, especially between Busse Combat releases.

bluka, listen buddy. i was just like you there for longer than i should have been (many might second this embarrassing admission) regarding my angst at getting high performance knives... (getting Swamp Rat, Scrap Yard, and Busse Combat pieces)

i used to whine and post about how bad it was for the companies to not run enough, etc etc... But the truth is this man... the companies do as much as they can and are more busy than I ever realized. being a busse-kin knife junkie requires a little work on YOUR part. if it was as easy as buying from spyderco, well the knives wouldnt be worth the fuss that they are to all of us Hogs and Rats and Dogs, collectively speaking.

(not bashing Spyderco either fellas ;) )

I used the WTT ad WTB forum just a few days ago (maybe a week) and i wont lie, it took me a few days until i got a bite - but a BITE i got! :) i posted looking for a Busse NIP as i said earlier and it came. 2 times!!! i ended up trading 2 different guys for them! :) both parties ended up happy with their new new pieces of SR77/INFI/SR101 :)

you will get yours bro. Just take a breath and take off the jacket and relax a bit. (this advice coming from me is me preaching to the choir more than you know - as some of my fellow hogs... im as high strung as they come :) ) you will get yours man.

Best of luck bro. Glad to see you over on the Busse Forum. Great bunch of fellas here.
