The Busse that brought me back here...

I don’t remember a Bowie meaner street but I loved the SLUT that came out with a wide back and super sharp blade. And the big one was key Lardo if I remember correct with a whopping .320 thick blade

I'll be honest with you (not like all these nice guys here)

I envy you this knife.
When I see it, all I can imagine how great would be, to have it by my side.
Blade shape, is such a perfect one to my taste.
Handle color - my oh my..
and this leather dress..
So yeah... congratulations.. :mad:

It's great, I'm happy for you:D

Ha, that actually used to be mine lol. It was from the Bladewestaganza in 2007. It's very fine tigerhide I believe, not green linen.

Ha! It's a small community indeed!

And thanks for the extra info - whatever flavor of micarta this is, I like it! Of course if it isn't green linen, then I got more hunting to do...

I had trouble remembering where I'd seen (or heard?) of a Bowie meaner, although it looks like it was from a Ganzaaa in 2007 so it's been a while.

Those look like some really nice ones! That snakeskin one up top...wow

I think it was the only one. They had a lot of unique blade shapes for that ganza.

These were the other two I managed to get.

Woah, those are some pretty cool variants! That was quite the ganzaaa- I'm going to try and find Jerry's post and see what else was offered that time around...

We discussed this.

You know what to do.

Do it. Do it now.
 
For me it was the jackhammer, I've always wanted a good tactical knife and after I saw my first picture of that knife on the internet I had to have one, then i did research on who busse was....
Man was it ever hard to find one.

A couple week ago, shortly after placing an order for the Mega Swamp Warden I found myself feeling a bit nostalgic. I had just sold a 13" fixed blade custom to pay for an unexpected bill and I had some left over paypal funds, but also a big and fresh knife shaped void in my collection...so what better time to visit the Busse Classifieds than later than night, about 0330 local time? Sometimes good things come out of insomnia :D

Even though I haven't very actively chased INFI for a few years, every once in a while I'll come check classifieds in hopes of finding an overlooked gem.

I think this counts as an overlooked gem:



Busse Leaner Meaner Bowie with green snakeskin(?) linen micarta.

I couldn't believe my eyes that I saw this in the forums, but also still available. I frantically shot off a message to the seller with my offer and was happy to say we worked a deal. And I got to meet another really nice guy through the Busse forums - that is one amazing thing that has been a constant ever first joining back in early 2011. It's a bit part of why I'm making it a point to be here more. That and the simple fact that this Meaner has totally reanimated my love for a nice Busse.

Came with a very nice Rainwalker sheath as well:


This is by far the thinnest ground Busse (from the shop) I've ever had the pleasure of handling...I love it:


I've made the mistake of letting some really special INFI go. I don't think I'll be making that mistake with this one- it's perfect for me. Thanks again Cam :cheers:

So yea, I'm back here looking around more than I have in a long time, and I'm glad for that...

I hope you're doing well out there

The Jackhammer is a nice one! And yea, the hunt can be long and sometimes difficult, but I've realized it's a big part of the fun that comes with collecting anything. I'm glad you eventually found one!
