Thanks to all who contributed here. I refer to my hard-copy version several times per week. Has really assisted in my increasing knowledge on Busse-kins...Cheers.
Been measuring my SYKCO Mudd Mutt: 5.25" Blade + 5" Handle = 10.25" OAL Blade is 1.25" wide = ~0.53" flat + 0.68 primary bevel + 0.040 edge bevel (on average). Edge shoulder is 0.030" thick in the belly, 0.040 mid-sweep. EDIT - one of mine weighs 5.95oz, so 6 oz is a nice round estimate.
Thanks for all of the information contained therein. Has really increased my knowledge on Busse and 'kin.
My Yard Keeper CG weighs 6.2 ounces. Full height flat grind Thanks for a great Thread! :encouragement:
Per a request this evening I thought I would add this here: My bruiser BT6 measures as follows: 11 3/4" OAL with a tip to handle blade length of 6 1/8" .215" thick at ricasso in front of handle. It is a nice saber flat primary grind piece of INFI that weighs in at 16.3 oz with G10 handles. This thread could use a lot of updating!
OP was doing community service starting this thread... his/hers last post was just a week short of a year ago, so I'd take it easy
Your absolutly right elof. Who knows if DWRW is even still around and i thank him so much for taking the time and effort to put this thread together but with this thread being a sticky i, and hundreds of other members, would hope that several super mods could join forces like Voltron and revamp this baby. Fingers crossed is all i can hope for.
*I'm just cleaning this up some since it looks like the formatting took a hit when the new website launched or something. I'm not changing any numbers here just getting rid of the extra figures that are showing up, specifically the "”"*. I took out some busse content since I am limited in characters. -bikerector The following list is for reference purposes. *** Please keep in mind some specs can and do sometimes vary a bit from knife to knife. Sometimes the same knife is released at different times with slightly different grinds, thickness or handle materials. I have tried to specify significant variations in grinds such as "Full Flat" vs. Saber grind - when and where relevant. But, even with essentially same grinds and "visible" appearance, weights can vary. Typically, Busse and kin lengths per knife are VERY close and consistent. Most knife weights with same grinds and handle options are pretty consistent, but weights are more prone to variance than dimensions. G10 is known to weigh more than micarta. Hand shaped scales, magnum scales and similar scale variations from Busse can cause weight variences, along with "Variant" grinds, etc. Blade lengths are measured from end of handle material to blade tip. Res-C handles typically have less handle material forward of the grip than micarta/G10 scales. So, handle shapes and sizes forward of the grip area affect measurements of "Reach" of the blade from the grip.

Looking this over, I see a few missing, like the tallywhacker. Probably need to update this with the new AD6 and FFG RMD specs Any other new ones? I like having a place to reference this info when I'm shopping about for Busse kin in the exchange.
I posted something similar over at the Scrapyard site called ScrapYard Knife Specs with some specs, release price and pics (where I was able to find the information). Hope it helps Y'all some. http://forums.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/731622/SCRAPYARD_KNIFE_SPECS.html#Post731622 Oh over there I am SkunkHunter. Wish I could change my name on this site to the same from RLB, but can't.
Well Frizzle Frazzle. The Yard is still down. Once it comes back up I will try and copy all the info and past it here like the OP did.
From my attempts, the yard has been down since around mid-year last year, maybe closer to fall, but it has been a good while now.
With the yard and swamp revived, could be a fun project for someone to get this page updated if they have the time.
