Measurements Question.....

Marion David Poff · Oct 9, 2000

The Natural Outlaw, it has a blade of 6 inches long, Is that from beginning of edge to point or does it include the choil/ricasso?

Marion,
I just measured mine.
Here are the vital stats:
6 1/8 Tip to handle slabs
5 Tip to choil
Hope this helps.

Due to a Texas Supreme Court ruling about what constitues actual blade length, Busse Combat decided to conform its measurement classifications with the law from that ruling...front end of the handle to tip of the blade.

Actual cutting edge is always a little less.

That standard of end of handle material to tip is the Washington standard too, I think.

Luckily I moved to Idaho, slighty more liberty, and a great stopover on the way to the middle of nowhere.....
