Hi Busse variant owners,

I haven't seen pics of variants except those at Andy's website.

Will you post pictures here for all to see or start a thread to show parade of Busse variants.

Be proud of your variants and show the world!

Hurray, it worked! I've gotta be darn near as smart as your typical fifth grader.

Oh my.... Oh my.....

Bronco, you're a lucky guy. I guess thats the one I missed by an hour. The .jpg image file attached to the email was corrupted and you're so fast.

Looks like your variant has satin finish blade and screws holding the handle.

Oh you lucky guy!!!

Top knife is a Busse Nite Light...the only one of two...it's the strongest 11 oz. Bowie on the planet...hands down. The full tang handle is vented under the spalted maple and brass slabs. Jerry and I did it together after he hurt his hand...it's the first knife he hand ground after the accident and he was SCREAMIN' bloody murder each time he touched it to the grinder, but he LOVED it cause he was doing it after a long recovery...he's too cool

The second knife is an Apache Thrower...the only one of its kind and it's AWESOME. Made from A-8, I used it on an unsuccessful hog hunt in 93 with throwing knives...I filmed the trip and might make the video available.

The third knife is an MP-45 handled Mean Street Variant which I bought for myself not too long ago..the MP-45 handles destroyed over $900 worth of tooling when he was making it because the material is SOOOO tough (a plug for the Stealth Hawk here), so Jerry calls it the most expensive Mean Street in history.

Enjoy...

Thanks to Bronco, WTF, Andy Prisco, tatsu, and Boriqua for sharing photos of their Busse variants.

There are more out there. Do a good deed, you can make lot of people happy by sharing pics of your variant.

Great thread 2d_edge, the kind I hope to see more of on the forums in general.

As for the details on the SH variant, you are correct on all counts. I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time when this beauty became available. I hope you get the next one. I was probably most fortunate in that Andy provides the same high level of customer service to all of his customers regardless if they own 1 Busse knife or 50.

If a Busse knife is not part of regular production models, I'll assume it's a variant. Please feel free to call my attention if you think I might be wrong in identifying a variant.

This is what I gathered from rfrost' "ATTENTION BUSSE OWNERS! " thread.
