Got a used modified Busse Batac out of a trade

That´s how it looked like:

Was o.k but I did some further grinding,changed the shape of the blade and started to put on a satin finish

Will take me more time to bring the finish to perfection but I like how it turned out so far :eek:

Looked like the stripping or finish was done with a belt grinder

So the guard was a little bit messed up

Got several dents...

But the main reason was I just didn´t like how it looked :o

THANKS Dr.Bill / wired45
 
Looks good, nice work. I do like the look of a clip point. Congrats on your first Busse, and welcome to our forum. :thumbup:
 
Wow, nice work and some cool mods. I wish I had the patience and skill to do something similar with some of my Busse's.

Thanks for sharing.

:D

I got an Afghan and a Scrapper 6

Love them.

That´s probably why the Batac ended up like that :eek:


ANY ideas how I could put a nice finish to the part of the blade next to the scales without removing them???

a small file?

probably much easier to remove the scales to the finish is consistent.

As far as removing the scales -- I haven't done this personally - so I can't speak to how easy it is, but this tutorial makes me think I could do it. You seem to have skills so it probably would be a piece of cake. This was posted by Wicked and is saved at the Busse Blog "The Edge" that Tyrkon set up. :thumbup:

Well done! But BATAC is one of my favorite knives in this world with its sexy curves! So personally, sorry to say this, but I think that grinding off the guard is just pure massacre on innocent INFI! :eek:
