Meaner Street

glorfindel · Feb 28, 2005

Oinkay, this is my first small Busse and my choice is 0,150'' Meaner Street! Knife is great in all aspects! I didn't have a chance to test it so far but I know what INFI can do...and I noticed I can't resist the desire to touch INFI from time to time...

I have to buy kydex sheath and yowza!

Man that looks NICE!!!! I am eagerly awaiting mine so seeing pictures of new ones makes to time seem shorter. Why, I don't know. Living vicariously through other hogs, I guess

I can't wait to get mine so I cam be part of the club. I have my NARK in the mean time.....

Thanks...BTW I wonder why bussecompanystore does not sell busses with this nice logo though..

Glorfindel, nice piece. I believe that is a Leaner Meaner given the grind and 0.15" thickness.

Very nice piece, and a nice combo.

What "logo" are you speaking of? Most Busse blades come sterile/without markings from the shop.

Can't wait to see the sheath you end up with for your new blade.

like mike said, most all busse's are sterile except for limited editions, custom shop knives, anniversery models and the photo knives.
sometimes a few sneek through with a logo but not many.

Sometimes they show up with two......

thatmguy · Mar 1, 2005

Nope, one on each side.

Ooooooh thats Badass....I gotta get a Busse and give my Camp tramp some competition!

thatmguy · Mar 1, 2005

Plenty of porkers can help with that.

Post your wants on the WTB forum, and see how fast the hogs come out of the woodwork..........

Trace didn't have any spare INFI so he made it from S30V

sometimes a few sneek through with a logo but not many

So it's time to hunt them!

bummer. no likee.

glorfindel · Mar 2, 2005

naaach...it's not bad at all! It is stainless, cuts aggresively, has very good heat-treatment, easly resharpened...not best for BIG knife but for 3,5'' is quite good! Of course I didn't hanged my body on it but TUK is not designed to such hardcore tasks!

Hey Glorfindel...

I can take care of you with a sheath..
I have the knife "In House" and have sheaths already made up...

Drop me a note..

I'll vouch for Eric. Stand up guy and great sheaths! That said, I haven't had any problems with any of the sheath makers that hang out about these parts.

Cheers,

Eric, thanks for the offer but as for kydex sheath I am taking them from PiterM.

Cyan · Mar 9, 2005

Allright then.

Yowza mates! I've been a zero post reader here for some time but now I finally scored my first piece of INFI! It's glorfindel's fault, bastard made me do it by showing me pictures of his LM Street. Anyhow I just had to have one, naturally green ABSINTH linen micarta and here we go! New lil' piglet in the town!

Now some photos:
