I'm not buying any more Busses...

Say 'ducci, that Lochsa looks like it has some pocket wear, I'll take that user off your hands. :D

So you consider a classic lockback the most secure folder?

I got that Lochsa about five years ago and have been carring it ever since. What is funny is I was talking to Jerry at Blade a few years ago about folders and he said they were looking at a one piece titanium frame. I walked him over to Scott Cooks table and showed Jerry the Lochsa and Jerry said "Ya, something like this!"

I have been carrying folders ever since I was a little kid and have never had a problem with a knife folding back on me and getting cut. I have had slip joints with no lock to ones with all different kinds, liner lock, frame lock, lock back, Onion stud lock, Axis lock, etc., they all work find for me. I hear guys talking about lock failure, well I use a knife as a tool, not for chopping, throwing, prying, or batoning, but for light cutting and fine work. So I don't consider any one type of folder lock system the "Best", they just work differently and are fine with me. I don't need a indestructable Busse folder, I just want a good quality, good designed one with an INFI blade. :D

Uh-oh!!! Ducci is suddenly making a lot of sense to me! ;) "Must not give in...must not give in..." Um, where's that UJ light pole chop fest thread again??? :p
 
You guys don't have your Busse Folders yet ??? :confused: I got mine when they first came out. Limited run, sure, but there must be some on the secondary market. Check eBay.
 
Got mine :D

Naw. He's just rubbing it in. I think I can hear the INFI click from here.

I still can't believe it has been seven years since I held not one, but two FOLDERS in my hands. :eek: I've spent well over $3K trying to fill the void and I'm still looking.

Some day.........

Still hoping for a joint venture with CR, Hinderer or ???.
Busse make what they do best, INFI blades, spec'd for a particular frame lock body and others make what they do best, frame and lock.

Or a pure Busse folder.

Typical comment I get.

Them: Cool T-shirt. What's Busse Combat.
Me: Only the best knives made on the planet.
(I tell them about the toughness of Infi and the demos Jerry has done.)

Them: That sounds great. Is that what you carry?
Me: No, I carry a Chris Reeve Sebenza.

Them: What's a Sebenza and why don't you carry a Busse?
Me: Sebenza is an African word that means "Busse doesn't make a folder."

So, please Jerry, make us a folder before BLADE 09!

I just got an Umnumzaan yesterday, and I have to think just about the same thing if anyone asks me "What's an Umnumzaan?"

That just about made me cover my keyboard in coffee...... :D

I can't agree more with that last paragraph, I've thought the exact same things before, every time someone starts in on complaining about different lock styles on knives, I can't hear it anymore. I've owned or currently own (or at least handled) nearly every concievable lock system known to man, and I've never experienced any sort of failure.

Maybe using the right tool for the right job has kept me from destroying them, I don't know....

How many threads do we need on the same topic?
Click to expand...

Relax pal, this thread is from 2008. This kind of thing happens on forums.

And to answer your question, as many as it takes to get a BUSSE FOLDER!!!

12 threads if they're about the folder.

Asketh and thou shalt recieveth..... 12 threads has a nice ring to it.

Well, I'm off to an NFA shoot for now, my ZT 0301 and Umnumzaan in tow, no Busse folder accompanying me today.... :(
