Recurve infi???


The recurve Busse are ugly, who could ever love them... even if they are .33" and in satin, with thick mag G10 handles. Thankfully not many of them were made :)
 
I like the looks of them and they do seem to add a bit of efficiency to most sizes. I do, however, have a ZPD-189 folder which does a wonderful job of sharpening my Lansky stones. I struggle to get the just right toothieness and tend to not be able to resist reshapening it after only a few days (completely unneeded). The zt100 and Yard Hook are both very tempting designs with the scrapyard being tops with it blade heavy balance. I would love a Busse version but they are out of the price range, especially at secondary market prices.

I have also noticed that quite a few Busse and Busse-kin blades come from the factory with very subtle recurves. My scrapper 5 le is a good example, the edge does not sit flush when put on a flat surface, I was pleasantly surprised by this.
