Looking at getting my first Busse (and taking the first step to Hog heaven) and am really interested in the shadow finishes. Does anyone have pictures of knives with each finish (Desert, Jungle, and Urban)? I believe that I may have seen the Desert and Urban finish in another BF post, but I have never seen the new Jungle.

Additionally, can anyone comment if there are any difference in durability and wear between the shadows and single color (black or green) or the satin or double cut? Thanks.
 
Thanks Stabber, I've looked on the sites and saw the graphics on the busse combat site but was hoping to see pics of actual blades. I originally wanted an all black blade but the shadow camo finishes are sweet.:D

Can you comment on the wear and durability of the finishes versus a one color blade?
 
Check the Busse Combat website, click on knives, and click on the thumbnails below the Hell Razor for some of the camo finishes on an HR.
As to durability, maybe one of the UberHogs can answer that :cool:
 
dogrunner, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for, I can't tell you how many times I've looked on the site and other forums now to discover it was right under my nose. I'm definitely not up to hog level, but may be someday...
 
As far as durability goes, IMO, it's not as good as the solid color camo. The edges of the stripes will come off rather quickly because the camo pattern is very light there.. (I don't actually have a new camo finish, I only have a Terror Monkey, which has a similar camo pattern) However, according to Jerry, this uneven wear pattern is a useful feature in retaining a camoflaged knife. Personally, I don't like it as much as the old camo patterns, but a lot, if not most of the HOGs do.
