Last Hurrah (Part 4).
One Mean Gladius, OMG-15
The "Last Hurrah" Of The OMG-15 is coming to the Busse Combat website on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at 9:00 pm Eastern.

With the demise of our legendary SR-101 blade steel, comes YOUR LAST AND ONLY OPPORTUNITY to purchase the remainder of these particular models in many, if not all, of our standard blade finishes!!!
We have been able to hold our prices on all other "Last Hurrah" models because they had already been heat-treated prior to the demise of our large custom made furnaces.
This final batch of the OMG-15 was not run in our large custom furnace and required a very time-consuming and much more expensive heat-treating process as they were each individually heat-treated, one-at-a-time, in our small prototype furnace.
*** These OMG-15 blades that have undergone this expensive heat-treating process in our prototype furnace will be clearly marked, PROTOTYPE on the opposite side of the blade that is marked SYKCO.
The One Mean Gladius (OMG-15) has a Shallow Hollow Bevel featuring our patented CBT (Corrugated Bevel Technology) which allows for more clearance behind the edge.
Our Resiprene C handles have a proven track record of over 24 years with no end in sight!
Resiprene C is well known for its high durability, shock-absorbing, and slip-resistant qualities.
The OMG-15 weighs in at approx. 23oz.
The oval handle has flats on top and bottom which assist in edge indexing in all conditions.
The balance point is approximately 2 3/4" in front of the handle
Please note: Non-coated SR-101 is prone to staining and oxidation so clean and oil the blade after each use.
The total number available of each model is very limited.
Best of luck getting in on these iconic blades
Let's Drink!
