The Busse Combat Folder Has Become A Reality . . . And It Only Took 30 Years!!! . . . It Is Coming Friday, September 19, 2025 At 9:00 PM Eastern!!!

Jerry always said he wouldn't do it until it was as strong as a fixed blade.
Integral handle can't come apart. "Axis" type lock is as strong as folding blade locks can be made.
Mission accomplished.
If it was going to be done, it was going to be done in Wauseon.
Thanks Jerry.

Guessing the Talon Hole will be on the production model. You can engrave "Prototype" on any piece of titanium. It's lot harder to fill in a talon hole where one didn't exist originally.
Just my assessment, may not be anywhere near accurate.

That... and someone also mentioned a 1/4" handle seeming thin. Obvious solution (it's gonna be big, everybody's talking about it): Snakeskin micarta handle inserts.
Ok, we'll settle for Tiger Hide.

Editing: these could be decorative/friction enhancing with little addition to thickness, all the way up to adding 1/16" per side to make the thing 3/8" thick.
And... once milled for the inserts, the aftermarket sector will go bonkers. Another thing Jerry has always done well is help other makers improve their livelihoods (Dave Brown, VJT, Pirtle Made, Mashed Cat, Okuden... you guys rock!).

There are no coincidences. I literally just lost my edc folder that I’ve had for years last week. It’s like fate. Or maybe destiny. Idk whatever the case I’m in.
 
I will wait till the thicker version of this gonna be released. Too many options of an excellent slicer folder around.
 
Cool Ground Troops concept knife. Integral is awesome. Thin, tough blade is sweet. Well done. Nice design. After all these years waiting for a folder, I'm impressed.
