I must be crazy to post this here, but this is still a Busse. I know, I have totally messed up a perfectly good Sarsquatch. It was an accident, sort of. I started out just to smooth out the INFI dimples on my SARsquatch CG. Then I got to that funky swedge. I should have just left it raw, but noooooo. I had to mess with it. The swedge just kept growing and the more I tried to straigten it out, the bigger it got. Thank goodness I still have a normal Sarsquatch.
Behold, the SARQ Bowie.

When will I learn to leave well enough alone?

Kind of looks like a cross between the Sarsquatch and Satin Jack. I like it. Good job. Hope I don't go out and start looking at my Sarsquatch like it has a problem I have to address.
 
Bro that looks really good. I dig what you did with the swedge, it totally changed the profile of the knife....looks more like a fighter now. I'd say you made a really good clip out of that swedge.

Good Job!:thumbup:
 
That actually looks pretty good. That swedge on the original is pointless and actually hinders the Squatches performance. But dont get me wrong I do like my Squatch but just wish it didnt have that stupid swedge.
 
Well at least it cuts well with the full convex grind. I am starting to like it a little more. :D
 
I also think it looks good - it looks more sophisticated than the Beast that is SARsquatch :)
 
I like it a lot! At least the profile, that is. I'd sure like t see how it handles with all that forward weight removed...

But ro, you really made it a sweet looking knife, great work.

It balances right at the talon hole. My CE balances at the front of the scales, not a big difference, but it feels a bit lighter in the hand. It lost nearly an ounce between the sanding out the dimples and the reground swedge.
 
Since its just a deformed Busse, you know, all mangled and stuff, I am sure you wouldn't mind selling it to me at a much reduced price...
 
To me it looks like the new Scrap Yard Dog knife being offered. Although it looks better as it doesn't have the big flat area in front of the handle and it does have a full exposed tang.

Nice grinding mate.
