The Busse suggestion box.

I know, I know, a lot of people are sick of hearing comments about certain things in every thread. Now we can have a thread to discuss ideas/suggestions pertaining to Busse knives. Go through your head of anything and post it up.

What I'd like to see:

More full convex grinds, not convex to v edge, but full convex zero edges. Awesome geometry and a refined edge. :thumbup:

A Sarsquatch style chopper, comp finished and all. Just think, a ten inch zero ground Sarsquatch. I promise not to take this one to 10 degrees. :D

Choils... As respectful as I can.. please no more elf choils. Usable choils :thumbup: Large choils too small to use :thumbdn: All it does is present an obstacle while cutting things, getting caught in cardboard, losing valuable edge real estate while batoning etc.. ME PERSONALLY, I prefer a tiny sharpening choil, no more than needed.

Satin/DC option on non LE blades. I think it was a great idea on the TB, i'd love to see it offered on more models. I can't spare the extra cash just for a LE number, but i'd be more than willing to pay a little extra for satin or DCBB. I'd even be happy with a comp finished offering for knives.

Straight handles - It doesn't have to be exactly like the old SH or BM Straight handles, but to me the handle design seems absolutely flawless. I understand it'd probably tick off a lot of collectors, but let me just say as selfishly as possible.. Gold is an investment, stocks are an investment.. I don't consider knives as one. Make more knives for the user.

A longer battle mistress. Take an FFBM and add two inches of blade length and add even more width/belly to the blade.

Hand shaped micarta mags. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Most comfortable fusion handles i've used.

Smooth coating.


Feel free to post any ideas here, that way we can keep the clutter out of other threads.

Edit - Smaller tshirts would be nice, xxxxl is a sleeping bag for me, and i'm nowhere in the realm of being little.

Ditto: "What he said!"
 
Agreed on the choils. Usable choil or tiny sharpening choil, but no 1/4-3/8" choils. NM treatment on choils is f'n awesome, by the way. So comfortable.

SAR3. Shorter blade and proportionally shorter/smaller handle.

Hand-shaped micarta/G-10 as an option on all knives, or at least for all medium/large choppers.

A "traditional" Bowie blade (plus talon hole). Just because. Not like the Forrest bowie style, but the classic Sheffield-style most people associate as a Bowie.
 
One thing I have noticed with the smaller knives is that they tend to be a bit handle heavy. In order to improve the balance the tang could be tapered, or skeletonized under the handle scales.
 
a big fat +1 on:

* full-height convex grinds
* choils (either full-size or none please)
* satin and dc options on non-LE/SE blades
* hand-shaped handles, esp black canvas
* more straight-handles/classic designs

please.
 
Many users want a shorter bladed SAR, I want a longer blade. The SAR 8 is great but I want one between SAR4-SAR8, 6.75" would be about right, this would be the perfect survival blade, maybe optional serrations? If I don't get one soon I may have to take drastic measures and buy a SAR8 and see if the "man" would reprofile the blade after I get a friend to water-jet it to my liking. There, it's off my chest I feel better now.

Just by an NOE! Done!
 
With all due respect to Bravado I don't wan't a NOE I wan't a SAR. From what I can tell a NOE has a belly on the handle no likey, It has to much of a drop point. I love the feel of the SAR, don't make me go medieval on your buttocks,I wan't a SAR!!!! OK. I'm sorry to get so worked up but It's my dream.
 
Really would love to see the release of promised and hinted designs. Folder, muks, etc.. A re-release of the BA III and a production run of ST Rippers would be cool too.
