Anyone else hoping that Busse releases a Tigerhide MBC?

It would certainly go nicely with this:

Even better, how about linen Tigerhide?

Tigerhide would be sweet, but I'd love to see some in green linen :D

Green Micarta is awesome! I was very lucky to score an ASH SE from a show with green canvas (I think - I can't always tell the difference.)

I don't get why Busse doesn't offer more linen Micarta. In my opinion it feels and looks better.

I've seen better looking Tigerhide on the forums, but here's some of my best looking linen Tigerhide:

I am really hoping for a Pumpkin Cub. I am saving my $$$ for that day, or the NMFSH... whichever comes first. :D

I agree!
what are these exactly?

forgive me
I'm still a little confused about all the handle options

I'm still somewhat new to the Busse scene, but that looks to me like a custom shop ASH with hand shaped/sanded Magnum Tigerhide (I'm looking on my phone, so I could be mistaken. It may be black canvas.) Magnum implies that the handle is thicker and more contoured.

One of the reasons I love Tigerhide is because it varies in look so much, yet is always gorgeous.

Check out the Appendix over at bussecollector.com - it is full of very useful information about past releases, terminology, acronyms, handle styles, etc.

Might I add that that is a gorgeous blade. I'd be happy to take it off your hands to inspect it to make sure my observations are accurate.

I think those are hand-shaped scales. They look similar to the tiger hide linen scales that came on the SFNOLE, NMSFNOLE, and NMFBMLE and those all were advertised as coming with "hand shaped" scales....could be mistaken but that's my understanding of it.

I can't find any of my close up pics of my SFNOLE at the moment, but you can see the general shape of the scales below. Looks similar to me:

and back to your thread Flux: YES to a Tigerhide MBC!!! I'd love one or two of those to go with my SARGE...

Until something like snakeskin or green linen micartas make a comeback, tigerhide is my favorite :cool:
