Hoo-fricken-ray! However this now means I will very soon be living in a cardboard box with only the clothes on my back
and a bag full of knives... Are there many homeless in Wauseon?

 

[redbeardrob]

Whoops, double post.

 

[silverbullets]

no email yet, did you get in via ganza or scrapyard order page?

 

[bld522]

Neither one. I'm on the Busse Combat Knife Group Newsletter e-mail list. The Rodent 9 was announced in today's newsletter. If you want to sign up, contact pokey@bussecombat.com.

I want this really bad, but I am really hoping they offer it in more then this color configuration (this has been alluded to). I really like me some tan canvas! Whose with me? :thumbup:

 

[bld522]

For those who don't get the newsletter, here are the specs and the pricing:

Blade Length: 9.5"
Overall Length: 15 1/4"
Steel: SR101
Hardness: 58-60 Rc
Thickness: 1/4"
Handle: Black Canvas Micarta
Blade Width: 1 5/8"
Grind: Ultra Convex Saber Bevel
Sheath: Optional Cordura Sheath Available

Price: $199.95

The only thing missing is the tempering method. I assume it's diff-hardened, but don't quote me on that.

Nice! Very glad for the option of a useable, transportable blade upon receipt :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[silverbullets]

oh, I thought you got a notice they were ready to charge already, my credit card has not stopped bleeding from the razor edged assault it has been under this past month

 

[Thrill]

BAM!!!!!!!

And I assume that there will be additional fancy handle scale options! *If not, then at shows?

 

[Kirk_Ferentz]

Hmmmm... I've been wanting a big swamp rat chopper ... looks like this would fit the bill. how would you all compare this to a rat/chop-weiler in that department? Obviously longer blade.

 

[bld522]

I'd expect it to outchop both of them.

 

[Kirk_Ferentz]

Looks like the blade width is skinny by comparison. Do you all find that the skinnier longer blades work better for chopping? How about batoning?

 

[OldPhysics]

Darn it!!!

I'm afraid it's a must-have for this addict.

Time to sell more plasma.

 

[chogue1980]

I wouldnt mind having one in Tan canvas/sage to match my boy's RMD

Jerry said not in the foreseable future, this will be the only configuration offered.

Thank you for the answer.

Still want one

Information, I spoke with Amy today and the Cordura Sheaths are not currently available and they will let everyone know when they are.

Ahh. Well, thanks for the heads up, Keyser :thumbup:
