How thick is the handle on the Anni MS?
How does it compare to the CABS LE?
Are liners available?

Thanks!
 
I would like to see some pics of the AMS in other combo options and some comparison pics next to a Boss Street, MBC or Rodent Solution. I'm curious on what the G10 will look like with the dimples.

The Anniversary Mean Street thickness with the handle is .595". The C.A.B.S.L.E. thickness with the handle is .640". The Busse production team did not make competition finish an available option for the Anni Mean Street but double cut is available for an additional $35.00. Production time for the Anni Mean Street will be approx 6-8 weeks. If you choose to put liners on your AMS, the cost will be $20.00. Hope this clears some things up for you guys :thumbup:
 
Is it possible to get one without "anniversary..." etching on it (just Busse Combat #...)?

Liners? Busse is offering liners on a production knife? :confused: (me likey) :)

Is this something new or have I just been living under a rock?
 
Wondering by what amount will adding liners increase the thickness of the handle. I am looking at my order with black micarta, and I KNOW that at .595, the handle will be way too thin for me. If the liners bump the thickness enough, I won't have to pay someone to rehandle the knife to make it useable like I had to do with my CABS.

Excellent. Thank you very much!
 
Just to clarify liners are $20 per set. You can double up to get more thickness if needed.

To add to the mix, I just measured the handles of my two Boss Streets (at the thickest part of the handle, in the middle). My anorexic BS with canvas micarta measures 0.57" and my .22" hollow ground BS with black paper measures .66". Both feel great in hand. In general, I'm a big fan of mag handles and liners due to a more secure grip for heavy cutting, but on a small knife like the BS or AMS, where fine work is typical, a thinner handle can be nice too -- compact, agile, easy to maneuver. Can't go wrong with either.
