If you were to have a Busse refinished, what color?

[Matteo Escobar]

I'm trying to decide on a new color for an old knife.....

 

[thatmguy]

Double cut.

Or the original tan...

 

[Soulrack223]

I miss the original sandy textured tan coatings. It was the best IMO. A real OD Green instead of jungle is nice too or a camo finish...

 

[flatlander]

Double cut hands down

Bob Mills

On this one I'm going to do a coating. No satin or DC.

 

[RoNNiE]

I did pick Sage,,,,,, but If I was to pay for a re-finishing it would be Satin , or DoubleCut ,,,,,,,,,If not one of those , I'd mirror it myself. I have a sage NMSFNO and it looks gr8 ,,,, and that coating is tough,,,,,chop away and cleans up with soap an water on a sponge,,,,,does'nt rub off easily. Not stripping this one.The Sage Rocks !!!!

If i were to choose I would go with old version of jungle green camo - for collecting, and sage for a user (old jungle green camo would be too pretty for me to use ).
Here's old jungle green camo SFNO (my grail knife :thumbup.

I'd have to go with Double Cut or OD Green... :thumbup:

 

[Strabs]

If I had to refinish, I would beg for some original tan.:thumbup:

 

[Ken44]

I love the original Tan, but can they still do Tan ?

The only other coating I like at all is OD, which I think is now called green on the Busse web site.

Satin is my favorite finish of course.

 

[I'mGatMan!]

Old School, smooth black.

 

[Matteo Escobar]

Hmmmm, I like the idea of the orginal tan. I wonder if I could convince Garth...........

 

[Gerberblades]

DC, satin or black.

 

[fitzOdaggers]

i hate coatings... but word on the street is that the sage is the strongest:thumbup:

 

[unwisefool]

I like sage. Or that new moss green one.

You do have good taste! I agree!!:thumbup:

 

[Matteo Escobar]

i hate coatings... :

I do agree, to an extent.

For anything other than a large chopper, or anything that may be used in food prep or for everyday delicate work...I agree.

But for a large knife that will see nothing but abuse, I think that the coating makes sense.

 

[Guyon]

Mauve? Fuschia?

Seriously... double cut.

If coated, tan or sage. Those two seem really durable IMO.

 

[Matteo Escobar]

Mauve? Fuschia?

That's hilarious! I'm actually considering the red one from last years Knob Creek!

 

[Guyon]

The Alabama red clay would look good with certain scales. I've not heard how it holds up.
