Old school versus new school

[Cobalt]

Huh?? What about your sig line??

Well, until the next line comes out much better, then I want my SHBM.

Honestly, I will come out and say now what I want and I think it would smoke the original SH line:::::::: you wanna hear it...do ya....do ya?

...Ok here it is....What I want Busse to make is the swamp Rat Micarta line out of INFI:

HOG DADDY LE

HOGWEILLER

HOGMASTIFF

you get the picture. I think the Handles on the Rat line are the perfect ergonomic handles ever made by Busse and the blades are near perfect in size and I would love to see those same knives made of INFI.

I voted for the new models since the INFI is better than the old A2 steel, and the new options of different colors and handle designs really makes the modern Busse's all unique in their own way.. One could literally buy one design "like the ASH1" and then have up to 10-15 Variations to that one knife.. HOWEVER>>>> I own a couple of old A2 steel heart IIs, and I had the Badger Attack and Mean Street to match them until Lazlo Hollyfeld "grant" traded me out of them for HOFSHs.. and Honestly, the feel of the old knives in your hand cannot be beat.. I think the Old design Badger Attack and Steel heart II are some of the most natural and comfortable feeling blades I've ever held... It would be awesome of Jerry could come up with "special" Anniversary editions of those knives as well, OR> even better sell the Three in a set made in the old style, but maybe with different colored blades and micarta handles... It would be an incredible opportunity for all the new busse collectors to have a chance to have the old design feel without Jeapordizing the authenticity of the Old Knives... Remember, the old Busse's weren't designed to be "pretty safe knives" they were designed to go out and Kick A.. in the Wild, and a knife that was a no frills stake your life on knife.. which to that task, None can compete with Jerry's incredible knives...
I'm looking forward to what Jerry will do with his new lineup and remakes of the old ones.. I didn't see any of the originals on his remake list, but who knows. If there is a Demand, Jerry may feel it to be a profitable Venture... I know the ASH1 has to outsold every make ever put out probably....
SO WHATS THE NUMBER UP TO NOW AMY????
If I had to put one on my belt and head into the Unknown, If would have to be a FSH, but my old Steel Heart II A2 comes in a close second..

I guess it depends on where you draw the line between old and new school. The best Busses to me are the SFNO and the SHSHII, so that probably puts me on the old school side. Sure I'd love to have coating and handle choices, but the simplicity of the old school handles makes them the best in my book. The TAC handle just doesn't cut it for me; maybe the SARsquatch (if it has a useable choil) will change my mind.

I also have to echo Cobalt to a certain extent -- I'd love to see the HogManDu. The RatManDu is a wonderful design, which could only be improved by INFI!

Old School

What do you mean? Are you talking about the old school time when every newbie complain about INFI shortage on market and always takes more than "2 weeks" for new knife

A-2, Original INFI, Modified INFI, old heat treat, middle heat treat, new heat treat, old coating, middle coatings, new coatings, Canvas, linen, paper, Micartas-- I like.

The G-10 needs a little work, pretty, just not grippy in the models I have seen.
