Thought I would share some pics of a very unique Busse I was able to score recently thanks to a generous hog, you know who you are and I owe you big time for this one..

Anybody ever seen one like this before? I know I haven't :thumbup:

Thanks guys, it is my precious……

Red has always been my favorite color, if only we could get this G-10 offered as a standard option…..

First Badger like it I've seen. Congrats on a great score!!! :thumbup:

Nice part is if she bites ya, you can't see the blood on the handle!

I think that's a S.O.W. (Santa's Outlaw Wicked) Badger, I think it was called. Lookin good!!

That's the only red-handled BATAC I have ever seen. The SOW was a SFNO variant, some of which had red handles; here are some SOW threads:
Red SOW
NO Variant
Other SOWs
One of the 2007 Special Edition knives was a SOW.
2007 SE SOW

I like it. Well, it could use a little improvement--it could be blue. That would be more better, kills more deader, as we say at work.

Very nice! The handles almost look like they're made of meat

That's purdy

Nice knife! Since its smaller than a normal S.O.W., maybe one of Santa's Elves? Or Santa's Little Helper? Or Rudolph?

One weird little known fact: they actually are meat. With a thin layer of red G10 over the top. Was hard to do, that's why there's so few of them. Sort of a different take on a survival knife - instead of silly things like matches or fishing line, you carry meat in your handle. Didn't work out quite as well as they'd hoped.

Are you worthy of Red?
If not, you need to give me that knife.

Worthy? Probably not.

Give you the knife? Do I have to? I mean, it's not chisel ground……
