I think I remember seeing a Nessie and/or skinner design but can't find it anywhere.:confused: I tried to google it but didn't come up with anything easier.

I'd be happy to see any pics and get some info on these knives if they do exist. I'm on a quest to find that perfect one for me :D

Thanks fellas :thumbup:
 
There were a couple prototype Busse muk pictures posted on these forums a while back, and Scrap Yard also produced a muk not long ago. The scrap muk is a very cool blade, and you can't beat the price.

edit: here are some pics of my scrap muk, with Rainwalker kydex sheath...

You're the man MustardMan - that's the knife that I saw!

Thanks :thumbup: Sweet price :D

Getting my hands on it will be the hard part it looks like.
 
Shouldn't be that hard to snag one, if you watch the exchange. I just saw a set of them go up for sale not too long ago. I got an awesome deal on mine on the exchange - it's a buyer's market right now :thumbup:

Might not be as hard as it seems. There have been quite a few ScrapMuks in the Exchange recently and probably in the future too...

Edit: Said practically the same thing as MustardMan, just a little later.
 
Thanks for posting the pics. Where does your forefinger naturally fall when holding the knife? On the handle or just in front of the handle?
 
Either grip is very comfortable - I love the versatility of the res-c mudder handles. I prefer the grip with the finger on the handle, but choking up with the choil is perfectly comfortable as well.
 
There was a thread on a prototype Busse Muk, but havn't heard anything about it in a while. I sure wish Jerry would come out with that Busse Muk. I'm sure with all the sportsman and hunters on this site it would sell like hotcakes.
 
I think the "nesmuk" design is of such limited use that Jerry will not waste the INFI on it. It is a simple question of supply and demand.

My guess is that the scrap yard muk is all you will see in that particular design from the Busse family. Hell... I bet G. Sears himself would opt for something else had the blacksmith offered different models. The humpback blade offers no particular advantage over any other blade, and is quite awkward working in close quarters such as dressing deer and hogs (although it is a fine skinning design).

I think folks get a bit too enthusiastic over Mr. Sears tales and want a knife like his... disregarding the fact that he did not have nearly as many choices as we have today, either in knife steel or design. He simply took what was available at the time and made the best of it. :thumbup:

Imagine if Mr. Sears had a meaner street... :eek: :D

I really like the design and appreciate it's functionality for what I use them for.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I find the MS design much more limiting, and I have used both designs.
YMMV, but the Nessmuk is just more robust than the slender design. I hope Jerry does make good on the Minimuk and whichever of the larger versions he settled on.
BTW, I would like to see an INFI interpretation of the Kephart as well.
Obviously I prefer drop points and more rounded points on my knives, so I am a bit jaded.

I'd have to dissagree about the Muk having a limited use and that Jerry would not waste INFI on it.

The Busse Muk the perfect little bushcraft knife that is perfect for food prep, making fuzz sticks, and skinning game and many other bushcraft chores. There are a lot of outdoorsman/hunters/fisherman here on the boards that would be interested in a Busse Muk. I think its a very useful knife for the outdoorsman and it would sell like hotcakes.

Please make this usefull little knife Jerry.
