Hi all. Never looked at a Busse until recently when i saw and fell in love with the Active Duty.

My questions are:

1) If i order it from the Busse website, how long of a wait is there?

2) What the heck is "Snakeskin Nukarta"? Some sort of textured micarta?

3) Is there any way to buy one without waiting, maybe from a dealer, in other words, do any dealers have any of them for sale?

If you email me, please use: acf1969@aol.com

Thanks.

1. Call the shop.
3. Call the shop - check aorund the forum boards.

2. Snakeskin Nucarta is Micarta with a different texture to it largely due to the pattern of grooves. The layers have greens and browns and blacks, etc. so that when the grooves and finishing is done, you see a camo-like coloring. The grooves are not only unique but allow for a good purchase while being comfortable. If examined closely, the actual surface of the material is smooth but the ridges of the grooves provide the grip. IMO its easily cleaned, not rough on the handles, provides a good grip, loos cool and is not like every other knife handle out there.

Happy hunting.
