Joining the Busse Strip Club

[Still Voracious]

Why pull the slabs if you don't mind me asking?

If I'm going to take the time to sand the whole thing it'll be way easier without the slabs in the way. But I already tied a Paracord D guard on it so I'm somewhat invested in this "rustic" finish

Did you simply hold the sandpaper in your hand or did you use a block or some sort of sanding tool?

I definitely want another Battle Saw. On the list for sure.

Some better daylight pics...









At some point I'll probably sand all the decarb off, but I think I like it like this for a bit.

For when I do feel like pulling the handle slabs, anybody know what size tubing Busse uses so I can get some replacement fasteners coming?

SWEET!!! That CBT HUCK is soooo smooth! :thumbup:
The PITA will be sanding the CBT in the middle, but man, what a dream the edge bevel and saber bevel are!

Turns out I wasn't as invested in the Paracord D guard as I thought



Found the grinder Gremlins! Whoever "B" is...Thank you for only signing under the grips



Off to the sanding station!

Is that rust under the coating Chip?

 

[Ratman79]

if it is its prob. just the decarb...(or I could be totally wrong)

around the handle imprint = decarb rust for sure...seen it form before my very eyes dozens of times...

but that nasty looking red stuff around the "B" doesn't look kosher....

BTW, I'm wondering if the "B" is for Bruiser or Blue...several Busse's I've "unhandled" have some kind of notation for handle color match up with blade color or handle color, or both.

and some random chatter marks

Hand sanded. Builds character and repetetive strain injury!

Well this Jack hasn't formally entered the strip club yet, but I figured I'd better go ahead and etch now before the coating wear got any closer to the logo.

The 9v/saltwater etch worked great. Thanks to all for the inspiration and tips in this and other recent threads. :thumbup:

Nate that looks Gr8!

 

[inkynate]

Thanks Petey! I'll definitely be doing some more.

Redid the liners as well, the perfect hand filling thickness now...

Anyone know the reason why Busse continues to take a grinder to the blades like that ?
