What a fantastic knife, it fits me perfectly in every grip. The hollow grind is fearsome.

Thankyouverymuch Rat-30! It was a pleasure dealing with you.

I figured a Japanese Chopper/Girly mag was sufficiently "urban" to provide a suitable backdrop.

Enjoy it in good health!

Good to do business with you.

Those are THE best handles for a knife of that size. Congratulations.

That's a kick ass blade! Congrats.

Nice score man, that's one of the smaller Busse's that I would love to have.:thumbup:

Correct me if I am wrong but the handle is the same as the Badger Attack from the same time period? W/o the exposed tang?

If so, I can see why it would fit your hand so well.

I actually like that OD camo pattern.

Now show us some user pics.

Terry,

You are correct. It was also the handle on the original Satin Jacks and the Paul's Hatchets. It is my favorite of them all.

Honestly after holding (and drooling) on this blade for a while I'm not sure I have the guts to bash it up at all. I was pretty mild with my HR usage but this knife just seems purpose made for violence.

Maybe I'll take the strop to it and shave with it tonight.

BTW the camo pattern doesn't appeal as much in pictures as it does in life.

Interestingly, I dug out an old Cold Steel tanto sheath I had sitting around (since maybe 10-15 years ago) and it fits perfectly, even down to the retaining strap. Cuts down on waiting for a sheath, anyway...
