Hey, does anyone know why there is a difference in the font's used on some of the limited editions? See example below:

See how the 9 is straight down?

Now look at this 9. The 9 seems to hook up and the bottom:

Interesting. They do indeed look different. I only have 7 LEs, and they are all newer ones with the same fonts. I sold my older LEs, so I haven't noticed this. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll have to pay more attention.

Is the font etched into the blade or burned on? In the first two examples it appears to be a bigger font with more spacing. The reason I'm asking is because I just bought one. It didn't arrive yet but in the pic the font looks like it's different. See pic below:

Lasers, knives, and booze. Unsafe working conditions?

MORE LIKE FUNSAFE!
 
Who knows what happened... different etching machines used, wrong font typed in the same machine or it got reprogrammed, later batch or a sterile blade sent in later for a number or whatever? At least they are all still FBM LE's
I love mine, she's a very unique user!

The straight tailed 9s appear to be Century Gothic and the others could be Arial or Helvetica, or similar sans serif face.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. This is Arial vs. Century Gothic: font.jpg. Also, the logo appears to be closer to the grind mark in the first example.

I don't care as long as it's a Busse that's all that matters to me. I just found it interesting and thought one of you hogs might know the answer. Apparently they're cut off from the booze for now... Oops! Is that really you Jerry? If booze is what it takes to keep these awesome knives coming out of the shop don't stop on my account :thumbup:!
