So, what' the consensus? Is the PT5 the ugliest ever? I like them a lot, so much that I have 2, but then again, I love that mil. overrun crap. Anyone who's been keeping their eyes open I'm sure has noticed that these are being sold quite a bit for being a low-production number mil. overrun. How many eu-17s and TMs do you see being sold? So, what's the story? Have YOU sold one recently, if so, why?
Or is there an uglier Busse knife out there?
I know some folks have been having trouble selling taliwhackers.
Also, does anyone know how many were produced?
Thanks.
 
As I see it, the "problem" with the Taliwhackers is that they are not INFI (notice that I didn't say it is because they are SR101, there is a distinction).

My main grip with the PT5 (and the Force One, for that matter) is that it is a very focused purpose blade. I can look at a FSH or BA3 and envision multiple uses, some of which are quite mundane. The PT5 seems to only be suited for one thing, and that's stabbing people. Too much emphasis on a single aspect of performance bores me, although I'll cut some other examples some slack (PBF, BARF, and the AA come to mind).
 
Is there such a thing as an ugly Busse??:confused: :confused:

oh wait, that PBF that Bakerj had the handles done and the fella put the pins on all willy nilly and the scales were way off, now that would come pretty darn close.:barf:

I love this sheath, hahaha. I have been tempted to make my own sheath like this.

Below is the thread of the PURE BREAD UGLY.

Thanks, I like that PT5. . . That PBU is one stank job! I could do better and that is saying something:barf:

you're welcome. If someone had done that to my PBF, I would have asked them to buy the knife at retail plus 25%. That is unforgivable.
 
The PT5 may not be the best looking one ever made, but it isn't the ugliest I am sure. I recently sold one to further finance the purchase of some other more rare models from an uber hog.
