Nope. I meant A1. Currently that is the largest knife I own.
Thanks guys!
It would also be cool to see A1, SAR6 and NMSFNO in the same pic as well. Those two Busse's are the ones I'm trying to decide from...

All I have is a secondary comparison, I'll keep looking for a direct one. If not, you could im l2lk for a pic, as I know he has both.
The A1 is the size of a BATAC from busse

The srk shown above is pretty close to the A1, only off by 1/4-1/2"

I'll be damned! Is that a Finnish Military Knife ("Sissipuukko") in the middle?

I can post this when I get home tonight.
Picture or not, the NMSFNO is by FAR my favorite Busse knife that I've owned or handled. It's large enough to chop like a champ, yet light enough for belt carry. It really shines in the "bring only one knife" category.
That's saying a lot coming from a guy who owns about a dozen Busse & Kin (joking, my collection is meager compared to so many others here, but then again, I've only been at it a few months.) My point in saying that is not to boast, all I'm saying is proceed with caution, because once you get an NMSFNO you may catch the INFI bug like many of us have, including myself.
If you're looking for something a little smaller, the Boss Jack LE or CG are fantastic and available straight from Busse for now. Another personal favorite of mine is the Skinny ASH or ASH 1 LE.
Good luck!

I'm not sure if it was military issue or not, Or if it was purchased directly from kellam (their ranger puukko model)

Yup! That's the one. It's not actually issued in Finnish military service, but it's one of the most commonly used knives in Finnish Defence Forces. It was desinged to fit the needs of a Finnish ranger.

It's one of the knives I often look to and cite as being the essence of compact functional minimalism in knives.
That is so true. At the same time you just defined the essence of the Finnish Defence Forces...
Can you let me know who made that white Kydex sheath?
Thanks

I'm about 95% sure that it was a buy brown sheath, cause I vaguely remember a small bb on the back. But I don't have a picture of the back so I'm not 100% positive.
(if not BB then it was mashed cat)

Sorry about flaking on the pic request. I had my girlfriend over and hit the sauce a little too hard.
This morning I looked for my A1 and couldn't find it. It's probably just hiding somewhere, I'll look again tonight. Otherwise, I may have left it at my friends property in NH where I often camp.

No Wories! I hope you'll find your A1! It's such an awesome blade!I droped an order for NMSFNO today. So I'll be seeing those two together soon enough.
Cheers!
