The Busse Folder!

[zmbhntr]

Okay not exactly, but it is kin, and it's the only folder ever produced by the Busse Knife Group. It's called the Rat Trap, and I believe they were only produced from 2004 - 2006. I started out my knife addiction with Busse, and then I moved into folders as well, so when I recently had the opportunity to pick up this little safe queen beauty I jumped at the opportunity. It feels good in hand, and it's quite nice and thin for the size of the blade. Very cool knife, and a pretty cool piece of Busse history. Naturally, this thread is worthless without pics, so here you go.

That's one nice folder!
Busse just sent me their new folder. It's about time because I waited over two weeks to get this thing.

Lucky you. I only got dinged on Friday.
Can you post pics when it reaches you?

Ugh, tip down only.


J/K Congrats on that one, I'm not a huge Busse dude, but the Rat Trap is darn cool.

Anybody know the original price of these?

Anybody know the original price of these?

I think they were around $150. That doesn't mean much now though.

Any reason they did only the one and no more?

 

[perchjerk]

What steel did they use?

 

[perchjerk]

I'm dumb. Plain as day in the pic.

Thought a Busse folder was called a Sebenza.

Yeah I really wish they re-release the rat trap until we get the Busse folder. I could really do with a reliable folder.

Would welcome one also - maybe. Perhaps they are satisfied to leave that niche to other manufacturers. There are plenty of those, and already plenty of Busse fixed blade choices. Just received my first, new to me, BATAC this morning. What a balanced handling blade. Might be Busse #20 (or # 202 ?!), for me.
