Scotch Dispenser - "a test to the loyalty of fan boys" ?

Sorry, what makes that OTHER thread retarded was the fact they were trying to compare the Strider Tiger to the Busse SD....

I see zero use for a Strider Tiger.....and plenty for the SD. Does that make me a fan boy? No.

Just a guy making his very own personal choices. :)
 
I think this isnt a test all, why bother? Jerry knows not everyone is going to want every model and that some like the SD will not cater to everyone. Many people who dont buy one just see this as a break on there CC's until the ASH-1 comes.
 
My understanding was that Busse put up the SD because it was already geared up to produce the design. Also, there has been an awful lot of activity from the Shop in terms of shipments to Skunk and show blades (Knob Creek and others), let alone whatever it is producing for military orders.

It's not like they're all sitting around up there sipping Scotch, CBL, and Coors Light.

Or is it? :D
 
Ahhhhhh I do not really think Stider or Busse put out silly knives to test the loyalty of the fan-boys. That was a tongue in cheek remark to provide a humorous possible reason for those two knives. :)

Call the hounds back. Put on your MooMoos and get drunk... eveything will be fine. :D

The issue of Busse's military versus civilian production confuses me, though. Why not just produce the military stuff? If it's good enough for the mil, it should be good enough for the civilians. :D

contract obligations can hinder whats allowed to be sold to the public. and they wouldnt have as much variety that way. they would have a different type of variety, but I doubt that we would see as many thin and thick variations, and definitely none of the cool custom configurations.

Crappy little sheath.

I had a kabar sheath do the same thing. the back plate of of kydex for the sheath was a little thicker then 1/8", but the front plate was 1/16" thick. it sat in the sun one day and I looked at it with the edge starting to furl upward, then I touched and watched as the kydex sank under my finger and thought "what the heck? why would the make something you can't use in direct sunlight?"

I really wish I had a bottle of jw... I got a really cool shirt logo design in mind, but I need an empty bottle for it..
 
In the UK (pronounced yuch!) the SD will be classified by our enlightened government as a 'ring knife', making it completely illegal. :mad: Barstewards!
 
The SD definitely does not look silly and useless to me... although I would have preferred to see the design go in a little different direction. Probably something along the lines of the proposed blade profile, and a handle more like Strider's SLCC - in 1/8" stock.

As for the fanboi issue, Busse's 'bois have repeatedly demonstrated themselves to be of the highest caliber. They remain at the ready to fight over any sort of wacky contraptions issuing forth from the Custom Shop. So no, I absolutely do not see the SD as any kind of test in that regard.

With the Prada? Please? :D

How many times do I have to remind you children that mama carries the Prada, not me. My Maxpedition is getting a bit cramped with the diapers and wipes though, there is hardly enough room for my pistol, mags and first aid gear, not to mention the fire making supplies and Meaner Streets. Perhaps it is time to just start packing a full back pack. Either that or I will try out the new Colossus or whatever they call it.

ringed kerambits are legal. the sd doesnt seem much different.

imo, the ring on the sd provides no protection in an offensive (as opposed to defensive) mode. since the ring only covers one finger, it is arguable that it is not very effective at striking.



but i certainly would not want to be the test case.

It doesn't matter whether it's offensive or defensive. Here's the definition from Section 12020(c)(7) of the California Penal Code:


As used in this section, "metal knuckles" means any device or instrument made wholly or partially of metal which is worn for purposes of offense or defense in or on the hand and which either protects the wearer's hand while striking a blow or increases the force of impact from the blow or injury to the individual receiving the blow. The metal contained in the device may help support the hand or fist, provide a shield to protect it, or consist of projections or studs which would contact the individual receiving a blow.

Whether or not a Scotch Dispenser meets the definition is something you can test at your own risk. If I were the judge, I'd say it doesn't because it's not worn for purposes of offense or defense and its not made for striking a blow, but I'm not the judge.
 
My take on that wonderful section of California Penal Code is that it does not apply to the Sus Scrofa, and only to a knuckle guard that serves all four fingers. The words hand and fist are mentioned, and nothing about fingers. A single ring intended for the index or ring finger does not even come close to protecting the hand or fist.
 
That too.


But I'd still refrain from posting pictures that make it look like one (or more) lives in California.
 
I have really been taken with index finger ring knives since I started using a CRKT Bear Claw as my kayaking rescue knife. While I wouldn't want to use one for a long time, when you want something that you just about can't drop in an emergency and doesn't weight much or take up more space than it needs to they are great. You can open your hand and grab a rope, strap or branch without dropping the knife and put some real force into using it, even if it is wet and slippery. I have to say the SD pushed my price boundaries for such a small knife, but I couldn't pass up just one.
