I know Busse doesnt make a folder (Please Jerry Please). I want a heavy duty folder what should I get? Should I wait, is there a Busse folder around the corner.
 
Soon Ron, very soon:)

There's been one on the back burner for some time now but I have a feeling Jerry is going to unveil something in the folder department very, very, very soon:cool:

(btw, to a Busseholic "soon" can be an understatement when waiting for things that don't really exist...YET!...just ask Nimrod:D)
 
Ron, there are a lot of great folders out there. Unfortunately,
none of them are Busse's, yet.;) :D
 
Ok, I'll probably get in trouble for this one ;) (sorry Jerry)

Ron,
Go over to www.swamprat.com go to Rat Chat and vote on the thread for new designs. Jennifer started a thread for new designs and one of the choices is for a folder. Maybe we can talk them into a Swamp Rat folder if not a Busse :D:D
 
Yeah I had to settle for another brand. Oh well
hopefully Jerry or Jennifer will come out with
one soon.:)
 
Boy oh boy would I like a folder soon all these other folders are getting old we need something new

My folder preference would be along the lines of a Sebenza- 3 major bits [handles & blade], and a few screws to hold it all together. An integral lock [no fancy kludges to inhibit knife break down], 3/16" blade, and an included Allen key. A straightforward folder, no frills, all performance, just like their fixed blades.
 
Ron, everyone who frequents this forum knows the vehemence of Busse fans, and I am one of them. We all like knives, have a preference for the built like a brick outhouse variety. That said, most of the denizens of this forum have amassed collections of Busses from Assault Shakers to Battle Mistresses. Many of us can speak of our Busse collections in terms of pounds of INFI owned.
Your voice asking for the folder is another voice in the choir here chanting "folder...folder...folder!!!"
That said, until we see the folder from Wauseon, we will have to contend ourselves with those of the non INFI variety.
I have to agree with the Sebenza fans out there. It is simplicity in a folder, a no frills use the sh*t out of it everyday knife. The framelock mechanism on it clicks in place with the authority of chambering a 12 gauge pump. I have every confidence in mine.
Its a great knife, its owners will attest to its utility. Both the large and small models carry in the pocket very well.
I would be seriously withholding if I did not comment on the Strider AR/GBs. Those Strider guys make a very serious knife also. Like Jerry's knives, they are overbuilt to withstand the use and abuse that their makers and owners put them through. Each maker has its fans and zealots. I think that there is room at the inn for all of them. The one big difference is that as of now, July 2002, Strider has a folder and Busse does not. I have a Strider AR, it is one kick butt folder, another proverbial brick outhouse. If Jerry never made a folder, this would be the folder that Busse fans bought. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It is however a stretch to call the AR a pocketknife. Yes, it fits in your pocket, but not much else will fit in there, and you better have a belt on to hold up your britches.
I like folders, I love Busses. When Jerry releases his I will buy two of them. Until that day, there will be a Sebenza or an AR in my pocket. ...........and a Mean Street in my bag.......and a Battle Mistress under my truck seat).
 
HD folders would have to include the Sebenza, the discontinued BM 750, the Mission MPF, the Busk-Strider and the AR. It just depends on how big you want or will allow it to be. Once you get bigger than say the MPF (IMHO) you are almost better off carrying a small fixed blade unless the circumstances (sheeple &&%#@$() require that you have a folder.
 
Good evening gentlemen, I know I'm a stranger 'round these parts, but I'd just like to suggest to Mr. Crabbs, that he might find a folder of his description here:

Now, I'm gonna warn y'all up front this here aint no Sebenza-

but it'll get the job done.

I've got two myself-they are blue collar specials imho....

Sorry if I offended anyone with a link to another man's work, but since other makers names were brought up I figured Mr. Greco deserved a nod of appreciation ;)

back to the doghouse...

Thanks for stopping by, Mongrel!

I saw those folders recently, and they are pretty stout! Not overly smooth, I've heard though ;)

Amen, harrydog. I've yet to add a Strider to my gang, but I'd love to have a BG-42 AR. Between my Busses, my Sebenza, and that Strider, I'd probably find myself not buying any more knives.

Na-a-a-a-h. Who the hell would stop buying knives? :D
 
Naaaaawwwwwwwwww, stop buying knives? What do they say?..........awwfuhgettaboudit!

Join the crowd. We're all waiting. Should be worth it though. I really like my small sebbie classic. I almost bought a strider AR until I handled their new framelock at Blade. It was awesome. I'll wait:)
