This is the Pass-Around thread for my Busse Combat Grade Fusion Battle Mistress.(CGFBM)
I have taken current images...although I may have to retake them if I get the urge to take her out for a farewell dinner of oak & maple first before seeing her off.
They will be posted soon. The one above is current, but I have taken a fresh set to show complete disclosure on its condition from all necessary angles, and with its Buy Brown sheath that will accompany it, before sending these out.
I am following the BladeForums.com PASS-AROUND FORUM rules, terms, conditions, and warranty for this Busse Discussion Forum passaround, as Morrow and Spark have honed a very good set to follow over the years from their knowledge learned over many successfully completed knife & gear passarounds. This below is, with exception for changes made to information relevant to this pass-around, a blatant
o) copy & paste of the standard thread started by Morrow in the BladeForums.com Pass-Around sub-forum for each pass-around. This way it is succinct, and I won't wind up complicating things trying to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. 
Here goes...

* In addition to the above, I ask that you please consider that the green linen micarta handles will NOT be available for replacement should the handle slabs on this CGFBM become damaged, and that I like them very much. If you want to baton the CGFBM a little, all I request is please DO NOT baton the HANDLE or directly in front of the handle. Baton the other end of the blade, with a chunk of wood or a RUBBER mallet, please. Most folks do this already. Some do not...
* Please DO NOT THROW this knife.
* Good communication is always appreciated.
* Have fun, and let the big HOG eat! :thumbup:
ETA on 5/6/2014: These are the current condition images I took before the passaround got underway. FULL DISCLOSURE on damage: The very tip, about 1/16th" or less was sheared off in a rock vs. INFI strike. Not on purpose. It has been sharpened out, but you may notice that this CGFBM's tip may not as pointy as another's. There are a few dings in the edge, mainly around the the area of the blade with the most wear to the coating above it. Other than that, the images (click on thumbnails) show the rest, mainly wear from use.
