is it just me or what?

Did the Busse shop make a Basic11 or an 11 inch Taliwhacker? I was looking at the shape of the point and in profile it looks very much like a flat ground Tali Whacker

I think that there are more differences than similarities. Blade length, grind, steel, and handle (although only slightly for the handle) are all different. The tip may be similar, although the spine on the B-11 seems to be pretty straight whereas the spine on the Taliwhacker looks like it curves upward, much like a Bowie.
