Search And Rescue I believe. I don't know if it is the ancestor though.

Is the SAR “ancestor” the same knife that luethge picked out in his post?

I "think" he was referencing this one

Thank you for all the comments everyone! I’ll be sharing these with my dad so he can see what nice things you all have said. However he may see the value of having these in the hands of Busse collectors and pass them on. I’ll keep everyone posted.

I will also share any stories or info we get from Jerry once we can meet up and talk about these old things.

I do have a couple of questions.

What is a SAR?

Pics 12-15 is the ancestor I believe.

Please guys don’t ruin a cool thread with sales talk

Search And Rescue I believe. I don't know if it is the ancestor though.

The top of the blade looks similar to the Urban Grudge as well

I added another knife picture set. This one has been used for years. My dad said he’s gutted a few deer with it along with many other things.

I IndependentGeorge SAR ( Search and Rescue ). The SAR models were a series : SAR 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 sarge , 8 and the SARSQUATCH. I’ll stop now, someone will chime in with far more knowledge on that particular subject than me.

Beautiful collection, and great back story as well. Looking forward to following this thread.

Here’s a picture I stole from the internet, posted by L l2lku2 here, years ago. SAR Series in its entirety ( I think ).

These are very cool! You can really see their influence on models that came later- Li'l Ugly, Badger, Shark, Urgent Fury, SAR series, etc.
Very nice, thank you for sharing!

this thread is awesome considering its Jerry's 45 year anniversary!

A true full circle!

SAR = Search And Rescue

 

[aaamax]

That was a trip! I see the Game Warden with a steak knife handle. Cool that the lineage is so apparent.

 

[Jack of All Blades]

Museum worthy for sure

 

[Soulrack223]

That Urgent Fury ancestor has a nuclear meltdown spine too.

 

[Crag the Brewer]

Is anyone else concerned about the lack of Big Choils in this thread???
haha

 

[evltcat]

Wow! Haven't seen some of these before!
Congrats on your rare Busse historic blades!!!!!

 

[RVO3VOM]

These aren’t Old School, they’re Ancient School.

 

[hookahhabib]

These are all so sweet! The two smaller looking ones with micarta scales are my favorite out of the bunch.

Although these are no doubt crafted in A2 Tool Steel, not INFI, I don't think anyone's going to complain, here :^)
