Probably not. This is a one-off variant I snagged at Blade Show East in...🤔...2011, if I'm remembering correctly. Not many 'Squatch variants out there at all, and of them, most are satin finished regular versions with different handle material, like Tigerhide. Trevor (knifehunter) has or had this one. vvv

Thats actually a relief...lol!
A buddy let me use his on a backpacking trip. He had a RMD he wanted to try. I fell in love! I wasnt informed these were something you could just order anytime. So when I went to get one I gave up and the wife ordered me a RMD. Also im a fan of Sasquatch! So it seems right...lol!

The regular versions pop up on the 2ndary & eBay occasionally, def worth keeping an eye out for one if it's a want 🤙
They came in Sage/tan linen, black crinkle/black linen, & 2008 SE comp finish/black canvas (in case you didn't know about the coated versions 😉👍)

Man....that first release of the Sarsquatch was the first Busse...hell any brand that was truly scary sharp. I mean yeah, others would shave hair but that was the first one I was a bit apprehensive playing with because I knew if it slipped, there would be a hospital visit quickly following. That zero edge was something to behold!!!

Yep! I need one!
Thanks for taking the time to give me the info. Really appreciate it!
I will track one down one day. Right now I gotta replace my whole AC system. 25 dogs and a wife demand it and GA summers can get hot...lol.
One day I will have one though! Im gonna squirrel some cash away over the next few weeks and start looking for one. Worst case is I end up with a Beating Heart and then wait until I find a Sarsquatch.
 
Busse Natural Outlaw 7" BL Variant.
Backstory: she had crummy second-hand handle slabs that peeled apart under my fingers from the first owner's ill-advised attempts.
So I cord-wrapped her for months. (See Current Profile Pic)
Couldn't wrestle Garth or Jerry to cough up a price for official Nano Fusion replacement handle slabs; so I set out with hand files & sandpaper on a DIY Project for her instead.
Found a couple of G10 Slabs in my supplies + some stainless steel sockets & screws, then set to whittling...
(Stupid-phone-cam doesn't do her Justice.)
I still have to work a bit on my Symmetry; But Don't We All...? 😎 🕺🔪

Not revealing how many hours of hand shaping she has taken. Suffice to say, she's a keeper for me at this point... The countersunk fasteners are perfectly flush, so that's a *Happy* in my book.
Since I Love the Green/Black Combo & the Blue/Black Combo, I didn't see a reason not to have both to grip this Perfect Busse Beastie. The Feel of her Grips in either hand is Just Right. 🙌
She Balances right under the first fastener, just like she's supposed to...
And she stands up, edge down.
Her G10 Colors Really Popped for Me... She's quite aesthetically pleasing to all my senses.

Crafted a Sheath in Leather for her as well with 3 types of carry: High-Rise, Drop-Leg Dangle with a D-Ring on a 2-Snap Leather Loop, & Horizontal Scout-Style for Horseback or Cycle Riding Comfort.
Currently she's my belt EDC.
I think I've made Friends with each tourist in our little hamlet everywhere I go: they Love it!
(Yes, that's spelled B-U-S-S-E... rhymes with Fussy :-)

I still have some precise sanding to get her to perfection, but she's coming along...
Enjoy her current pics...
