Just saw this today.
I thought Busse never made folders?

FAKE. They've made a few, but that's not one of them.

 

[Stump Buster]

Nope.

It's an imported Cheap (Both Definitions) attempt at gaining sales using another companies well earned reputation.

 

[ctalon]

Chinese.

 

[halzucati]

Ok, I figured but you know, on ebay you can never be sure...

The D2 metal seemed to me to be the biggest give-away, as I wasn't aware that Busse used D2, but I'm not a Busse expert.

Thanks!

I would bet that is not even real D2.

The stamp looks kinda like a busse kin/spyderco mixed together.

When we finally do make a folder it wont look like that.

Jerry doesn't have distant relatives living in China making folding knives from surplus Chinese military shovels?

Notice that: not "if" but "when"...

 

[Nakago1]

. . .
I'm taking that to mean there will be folders.

I hope not or that would mean years of anticipation would be a kick in the nutz with dissapointment

 

[Dennis in MA]

It's not Busse Combat, it's Busse Knife Group. LOL

 

[evltcat]

Yep, that looks like a genuine Scumbag-Rip-Off-POS-Folder to me! :barf:

Busse should report the intellectual property theft to the US IPR Center:

At least i reported it to eBay, we'll see what happens. It's a shame to see this- an uniformed buyer could get taken. At least it's not even close to accurate, as i've seen fake Fallknivens that only an expert could tell, (by photos.)

Now about that folder- will it have Jerry's patented locking mechanism? I'm hoping for Triad lock strength!

 

[Noxious Fumes]

Mmmmm..... Busse folder...... That would be good reason to bust my knife budget!

Can't wait!!!!

Let me see..... B8, ASH-2 ( or ASH remake), bringing back the HACK, and Busse folder.... Things ARE looking up:thumbup:

 

[Bigfattyt]

I have reported so many. They just keep listing them.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I have pictures of the Busse prototype folders.
