Old School Busse Love

[BlackKnight86]

Here is a few pics( not mine) of the "HOOD" knife i am so intrigued with...any info would be greatly appreciated! Are there more out there? Special order for RH? Ty

That is freaking GORGEOUS!

Might it have been associated with Ron Hood, the wilderness guy?

I can't even tell y'all how happy this makes me! I swear this thread gets better and better everytime I open it! I just wiped all the drool out of my beard after staring at those smooth bolt Steel Hearts ..... Wow guys keep the pics coming! Beautiful E handled blades as well, I'm hoping to be lucky enough to own a NOE one day

IMO, the best midsize blade Busse ever made. You've probably seen this pic, but in case you have not, may your drool increase exponentially. A 1 of 6 and a 1 of 14 clip point desert NO-E with quilted handles (some had "raptor" handles instead).

That's my thinking . Just wish I knew the whole story.

That was a special order from Ron Hood, hardened to I think 62? Hrc. It was featured in a magazine article back in the day.

Just got this minty original Mean Street in trade and absolutely love it! Also any way to tell if it's Infi or A2? Thanks! -CNC-

I really like this blade, any chance I can get a blade length and overall length? (I could try to take approx measurements compared to my hand, but figured I would just ask lol.) Was too slow on the Exchange, drat, but have been considering one of the newer Mean Streets and wonder how similar this is in size.

 

[Mulder]

I'll guess it's A2 from the looks but that's just my 2 cents worth.

It's here in Minnesota from what I gather.

Mulder, nice pics. Nice collection. You still got most of those or have you let them go over the years? If you don't mind me asking of course.

 

[Tyrade83]

These are pretty old.

 

[OldPhysics]

yes, and it was likely 5160 as well. Apprentice blades were typically not INFI or even A2, but I could be wrong

No -- you're right. Typically.

 

[OldPhysics]

Yes, I do remember it. I was kinda put off by the e handles when they first came out. I warmed up to them within a year. I have #7 and it has the std logo

I have one, also. #9? I think ...

Ah -- the Badger King! Glad to hear from you.
