I was talking to a fellow Busse nut today and the topic of carrying the Mr. Mojo came up. Now, this gentleman has an order in for the new CG Mr. Mojo, so he hasn't felt how light and well balanced this blade truly is. Think about it, this 8.5 inch blade weighs LESS than a Natural Outlaw. I have a LE Mr. Mojo(#38) that I'm going to have a leather sheath made for. I don't know yet how I'll carry it. What type of sheath would you guys want for a Mr. Mojo and how would you carry it?
Yours in nuclear carry options,

Ahh...it's a warm feeling when a moderator refers to you as a Busse nut

I think Andrew's question is a very good one, especially considering the variety of sheaths available as well as the variety that came from Busse over the last year (kydex, leather, cordura/kydex).

The reason I was trying to figure out what kind of sheath to get for my Mr. Mojo didn't have anything to do with weight, but size.

At 14" it's only an inch less than a BM, whether it's kydex, leather, or other I think it needs to be a drop-leg style. If it's a standard kydex rig where the handle begins about belt-line it's going to be a bit like carrying a short sword!

That's why I posted about the Kenny Rowe sheaths, I've only heard good things about his leather.

Normark ususally does my sheaths, but I don't know if he does a drop-leg style. Do you Eric?

So like Andrew said, what kind of sheaths would you like to see?
 
I think my dream sheath for my MoJo would kinda look like this, and I would carry it drop leg.

Sheath? I'd just carry it around in my hand all the time, you know, like when I go to the grocery store...

GPB, that is one awesome sheath!! Looks like top notch work. I could use one like that for my Tanto Variant. Where did you get it made?
 
Verpus,

Thanks for the question. I have sent you a private e-mail out of respect for Jerry's Forum as I realize he now has a "top notch" maker offering Custom Busse Sheaths.

The bad news is the Advantage Cammo is currently "out of production" and I am not hearing that will change in the near future.

The beauty of this rig to me is its versatility. The Drop Leg is fantasic field carry. But it is screwed on and can be removed in less than one minute and replaced with a Tek Lok just like Jerry's new sheaths. This allows for a high ride carry, horizontal carry, diagonal carry (SOB), LBE carry (smaller blades though), right side, left side, reverse grip, saber grip, etc. The sheath is also symmetrical
so any attachment fixture works for any type, or style carry. The symmetrical grommets also provide for maximum versatility to attach to ruck with paracord, or to attach something to the sheath i.e. pouch (although I personally do not like anything attached to the sheath for reasons I won't go into).

The real beauty is the combo. The "Busse MoJo" (though Jerry can beat me up for not liking the name) is IMHO the best overall bushwacker/fighter/survival (notice I did not say "chopper" so don't pile on me) he has ever produced. It is light, manuverable, has more cutting surface by design for a blade its size, and balance for follow through inertia, and cutting efficiency (economy of motion). Is it obvious yet I REALLY LIKE this blade? Anyway, its the combo that makes the package. Not a weak link in it!

Since it did not show up in the picture, there is on more thing to point out. The lanyard has a plastic plate at the end with a female snap. The sheath has the male snap in one of the upper grommets on the blade edge side (but since it is screwed on, it can be relocated at will). When the blade is seated in the sheath, it cannot be removed without popping of the snap because it is prevented from vertically extracting. This was the makers idea.

The sheath's are made to my specifications facilitated by a master maker.

Thanks again for the compliment and inquiry.

 
Jerry,

Is there any way I can darken up the light gray of my MoJo scales. The ones I got as gifts have pretty light gray handles that contrast the black sheath too much.

Any suggestions?

 
GPB-

Your previous post gave a lite teaser on Mr. Mojo's cutting ability. When you have the time, could you post a review of Mojo's performance and the cutting chores you encounter?

I've handled the Mojo at a show table and I agree with you comments on it's 'feel'.

Thanks in advance,
Seth

Sure Seth. Once I can get out and do some Bushwhackin'. The design has the features I have been wanting in a Busse for a long time.

I could advise experiences, but might stop short of it sounding like a review, as I am certain I am not qualified.

Won't be this weekend as I have to go out of town.

You could try making them black with waterproof magic marker. The brand name I am familiar with is "Sharpie" markers.

You may want to try a little oil(olive or cooking oil may work). I know that my BA-E handles darken up after I've used them a while. I would suggest rubbing them down good and wiping any excess off. If you don't like the looks wash them down good with soap and a scotch brite pad, this brings mine back to the gray color. Good luck.

BTW, a little oil goes a long ways.
