suss scrofa size question

[shigawire4sure]

I got a quick question. I see the sus scrofa being talked about as "mini SS" sometimes. Is there a full size version? If not why the "mini" thing. Is a meaner or AD a mini as well?

There is not (yet ) a full size sus scrofa. The AD's and Meaners are just normal, not mini versions.

So why call it mini?

I didn't try to answer that part of your question because sometimes I wonder the same thing...

iirc, Jerry said that the original Sus Scrofa's were only made for one specific military unit, and that they were much larger. Thus the Mini Sus Scrofa.

Here it is boys. . . The Mini Sus Scrofa!!!. . . .Fear It!!!!!!

The blade shape is a cross between the tusk of a wild boar and its cloven hoof!!! . . . It is designed to cut and stomp!!!. . . Fear It!!!!. . . .

The blade is 3/16" thick and nearly 4 3/4" long. This design is a proven favorite amongst chopper crews and will serve as an excellent EDC blade. It will quickly become one of your favorite utilitarian slicers!!! Eventhough though Busse Combat started making this model over 4 years ago, this will be our first public offering. :thumbup:

It will be on our website soon and will ONLY be offered for approximately 4 weeks!!!

There will be a serial numbered Limited Edition featuring a satin finished blade with tiger hide handles. :thumbup:

The Mini SS is the only SS that will be offered this coming month. . .

The larger ones will be along sometime in the future. . .

The Mini SS is probably my favorite utility blade. . . It is the crack of EDCs. . . Once you use it, you will be hooked, and no 12 step program is gonna help you!!!!

Sus Scrofa. . . Fear it!!!!!
