I have been out of the loop for a few years and have given thought to getting a busse knife. I would like a blade preferably 7 inches in length and no thicker than 3/16. What models would come closest to these specs? I knew of busse knives during the days of the SteelHeart and then I bought a Satin Jack but have never been really satisfied with the thickness of the blade. I would hope that perhaps I can trade it but I do no know if there is a model out there that fits the bill so I thought I would ask. Thanks
 
I would suggest a Sarsquatch. It meets those requirements to a T. I think I saw some for sale on the exchange at a good price. Good luck.
 
Yep, SARSquatch. :thumbup:

Did I mention; buy one, beat the crap out of it and come back and tell us how much you enjoyed it?? Do it!!!
 
Your next best bet might be a Hell Razor @ 6.5" in blade length, .187" thick at the spine. Also has Corrugated Bevel Technology (CBT) like the Fusion Battle Mistress. It's lightweight and would be more a fighter style than not, but still can do most tasks easy. Nice model. :thumbup:

this. it's fairly light but can still chop surprisingly well. it's extremely versatile. probably my favorite for the criteria you mentioned. i believe it's actually closer to 7" than 6.5".

what is the grind on the Sarsquatch?

The Competition finish Squatchies are saber ground, with the primary bevel being convexed... with a nicely blended zero edge for cutting. :thumbup:

WOW, and you used it? Insane! But I guess when someone has such a large and sick collection like you, might as well use some...
SWEET!
:D
 
so if it is not the polished finish but is the matte crinkle stuff, then what is the grind?

I think those were Sabre ground without the zero edge, but they did have some sweet looking black linen micarta. :)
