nobody really knows but the current listing have been up a really long time and I am very confident that the NMFSH or NMSHBM will be one of the next 2 releases.

If 13.5" x .187" 52100 with ResC basic handles sounds good, hurry and register at the scrapyardknives forum today and the 1311 is coming out tomorrow

nuclear meltdown fusion steelheart - the steel is called INFI it's a proprietary alloy for Busse with their own heat treat.
 
no one knows when it's coming out - and IIRC it's a 9.5" or 10" blade, which is slightly shorter than the FFBM.

Keep in mind that the talon hole featured on Busse knives is a registered trademark of Busse Combat knife company, and he defends the trademark vigorously. If I wanted to make myself a knife patterned after a Busse blade shape, I would as a matter of ethics, morality and law not put a talon hole on it.

Is the hole in the guard a "Registered Trademark" or is the name "Talon Hole"? I noticed on his website he does not have the required registered trademark symbol.

Apparently Luke Swenson got a note from Busse about his American Hero Set. The designer of the set put a hole there for his own use, and when Luke made the design available to the public, there was an issue I believe. He no longer offers the hole in the guard. I think its a bit silly, as its only a hole. There was no other resemblance to any other Busse knife, just the hole.. If I remember a similar case where Spyderco took someone to court over their hole, the judge ruled that you cant trademark a hole... (maybe my facts are twisted, so dont quote me on any of the above), so I have a feeling Luke no longer offers it out of respect, which I can dig. :thumbup:
