So it's sunday and i'm looking over my blades thinking I need to get a proper Nuclear blade. Not just a NMFBM or NMSFNO but a proper Nuke. This led to me thinking I wander what Nukes there have been and what the owners think of them. Hence this thread.

So if you have gone Nuclear and want to show off what Nukes you own then this is the thread for it. (I'm hoping that The Busse Collector site soon has a Nuke section for these great blades, hint hint)
 
I know of the Nuke Badgers, HR's, MOASH, and just recently, the SFNO in Cupidganza 2, and the FSH. I've also seen a nuke SJ (old school), and a few Nuke SHBM's. I think pretty much every major production blade besides the GW and cultie has seen the Nuke treatment at one time or another.

Finding one, though, will be a little harder and relatively pricey, as I've only seen a few on the x. If you like the BATAC, the nuke badger might be your easiest score. There were two up recently, and I know Jaxx had a Nuke HR and a Nuke AA up not too long ago. I owned a badger and loved it, but I was never going to use it, so it got sent to a Marine in trade, got fitted with two sheaths by Rob Hummelbaugh at Survivial Sheath Systems, and is now over in the sandbox. I hope it keeps the SGM safe and sound.

From what I've read... the 'nuclear' treatment (not nuclear meltdown) meant it had a hollow ground top edge (spine), all the way from tip to ricasso, and sports some mean & nasty teeth!

The Nuke SHSH... giraffe bone with desert ironwood bolsters.

The Nuke Heart with Giraffe bone and Iron Wood is one of my all time favorites! The SH below it is very nice as well, I like the grinds on it A LOT!!!
 
I believe I've seen a few Nuked Busses.

The photographs are out of this world as well!

Hey Mark...great knives, brother. You've got a thing for teeth, huh?

What's the story on the Nuke BATAC in DC/Tiger? Never seen that before.

Thanks Jason...yeah I definately like teeth. I wanted DC/Snake but the shop had no more snake...so tigerhide was my next choice. I'm seriously thinking about switching the handles to hand shaped snake.
 
I don't own any nukes, because they're not very practical to me because of the teeth... But if I would buy one, it would have to be those custom shop MOASKs (?) OP posted a pic of. Those look mean! :D
