Small Busse

Tony G · Apr 30, 2020

Been busy moving so I fell off the posting each day thing. Almost done with that.

This was a knife I had often heard about and it was even hard to find a photo, and then one happened to land here one day.

And it's thin! That's a BAD next to it.

WOW! Super early... ATS-34? Maybe a legendary 3-finger?

nope the Three Finger is the smaller one. Not sure they were A2 or AST-34

Oh man! Those are both sweet!

Tony, that's a Lil'Ugly ATS-34.
Awesome old school Busse.

That’s a great little pattern and what a find! So cool it has the old stamp. What a collector piece—love it! :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing!

Yep. I miss that one too. Lol!

Very cool! I'd buy one of those immediately if it was ever rereleased. Love the old school stamp on it too.

I am officially in love. If @Jerry Busse ever wanted to bring this back in a steel other than INFI (wasted toughness on so small a knife), I would carry one daily.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember that from an old Busse magazine ad.

Would pry my wallet open for a version of that in Elmax

I bet there's one buried in a payload.

My all time most carried Busse. Got it close to 30 years ago.Had two and sold one to Skunk.
Came with a very bad sheath so had a better one made.
Time for a rerun, or the Folder..

Well then that's your knife. I got it from Scott maybe 8 years ago.

I don't recall. Scott and I had a lot of transactions take place after polishing off a full bottle of a single malt. :thumbsup:

. And there were a lot of intangibles. I'd go there fishing and he'd come here and stay in a family apartment that was vacant. If it was after a fishing trip it could have been $700, if after he came here $125 LOL

Tony G, glad it found a good home. Im thinking that it went to Scott for around $125 or so. So happy that I still have mine. Part of a small collection of some very unique and collectible Busse cutting tools..
