Tell Me About My Scrofa

[godzilla78]

I’ve got a Busse Scrofa, that’s about all I know about it.
Is there any way to tell how old it is, what blade steel, G10 colour and flared tube meterial is please?
I’ve searched the net but info seems sparse, Is it collectible if it’s had a little use?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link with a little background on the Sus Scrofa:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/heres-the-mini-sus-scrofa-fear-it.470900/
It was introduced in May 2007:

You knife has:
- blade steel: INFI
- G-10: black & tan
- handle tubes: stainless steel (standard for most Busse knives these days)

It's not especially rare or collectible, so feel free to use it!

Awesome, thanks for the info.

You can see the original offer page here. It was not originally offered with Black and Tan G10 (or any other multi-color G10), so the one you have would probably have been from a ganzaaa or a show.

BCS.com sold that combo ^^^

Oh yeah. I forgot about the BCS. ^^^
But then, I only bought like fifty or sixty knives from them.
(That's the Busse Company Store, for those who weren't around back then.)

It was available at the BCS as of September 15, 2008 (and well into 2010):
Sus Scrofa - Black crinkle with black/tan G-10 .190. $232.00

The version I had was a great slicer.. I defiled it, modded it, and eventually sold it. Wish I still had it!
