The Apache Thrower - who wants one???

This is great guys...keep the posts comin'!!!

Will...an INFI thrower would price the knife too high...maybe it could be an option down the road, but for now, the numbers I need require an affordable steel with a killer heat treat - hence 5160 by Busse Combat.

Just trying to be a realist here, and maybe my abysmal ignorance is showing... but why would anyone want a $100 thrower? If you're just going to throw it at targets, won't any piece of suitably resilient steel in the right shape & weight do the job?

I see Busse Combat durability and Busse Combat pricing as directed to users who want all purpose knives that can do and survive just about anything. If I decide to spend $100 on throwers, I'll get five $20 throwers -- and if I'm lucky I won't lose most of them...

Just my hyperinflated 2 cents worth. I'm not in the knife business and I don't make knive business decisions.

Good luck if you go for the venture. Maybe you can "shop it around" on other blade forums, so you hear from more than Busse loyalists.

A logical question Lane, but believe it or not, there are a few throwers from custom makers which match and exceed the price of the Apache...they will be left nameless, but the value of the Apache is in its design and usefulness including and beyond throwing...most throwers are heat treated around 45 Rc for durability, with mediocre edge geometry.

The Apache will CUT, CHOP, and THROW with a heat treat accommodating all applications.

It will be a fun knife to own and enjoy!!!

As Artie Johnson used to say, "Ver-r-r-ry Interestin-n-ng," Andy. A good thrower that can do other things, while still functioning as a thrower, would be worth something. I have learned from past experience (pre-Busse experience, of course) that one does not throw one's "good" knives. And throwers are only to throw; they don't cut wood, open letters, slice meat, shave kindling, etc. As I understand it, you are proposing to change those rules.

If you produce a thrower that is useful in other ways, it certainly should sell a few copies. If I bought one, I'd still have to be careful not to throw it past a tree and out into the dense brush, but then one should always select target and backstop with some care.
