Newest Additions to my Busse Family!

[roppda]

Here's a pic of the three newest additions to my Busse family.

Top one is my first SHSH. This is one sweet knife and probably my new favorite.

Middle one is a FSH Custom Shop Proto. It has really great hand-shaped handles and a very nice balance.

Bottom one is the new king of the hill, size wise, my FBM LE #98. Just got this yesterday and have to say that it exceeds every expectation.

Dude -- those are amazing!

Congrats on some VERY serious scores.

I'd love to feel those handles on the FSH. They do look like they'd be real comfy...

Here's a close up of the handles next to the SHSH and a Heavy Heart with mag handles for comparison.

Congrats on landing the proto!!!
I have one of it's sisters (still unsharpened) and I agree that the hand finished scales are awesome! I am thinking of doing the same to my HH!

How would you do that? That sounds like something I would like to try with my HH too. If you do it, make sure to take pics and post a "how to".

Here's a couple of spine shots, alone and with the others from the original post. FYI, the proto is just about .270 thick.

With the SHSH:

All three with a full spine shot:

Does "prototype" mean it's COMING ?

Or that it's the only one (or two) that'll ever be made in this configuration?

[Cutshaw]

Wow!!! Thanks! That is a really, really neat and unique knife. It radically narrows toward the blade edge, eh? Nice false edge, too.

That is probably the nicest looking non-HOG/MOASH that I've seen. Sweet!

Thanks for the pics!

It means it was coming (at the time). This was a prototype of the Fusion Steel Heart (FSH), which has come and gone from the line up now. You can see some FSHs on the exchange in various sizes, combos and configurations.

Its really nicely rounded. Also notice that it is thinner in front of the palm swell than it is behind the palm swell. Makes for a very nice, comfortable grip.
