The BUSSE

I would not be able to separate these two. Both were very hard for me to get and both are my "The BUSSE" :)

They need no introduction.

Busse's come, and Busse's go....
but here's the one that I love so....
she was the first, but not the last...
and I'll keep her, until I pass....

The black bolsters really set that package off. :thumbup: Hope Jerry does some more of that concept, but until he does, you got da bomb, bro' . :D

Jerry did a bunch of knives around that timeframe (2005) with MP45 bolsters. The ones he brought to the Chicago Knife Show are listed in this thread, but all of the pictures are gone: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=363895&highlight=chicago

These:

Leaner Meaner with Ram horn handles and MP-45 bolsters . . . . 11 available. . . $447.00

looked like this:

This:

Recurved Badger Variant. . . 1 available $397.00

There were even a couple models (Leaner Meaner and Force 1?) with pink giraffe bone handles, but I have no pictures of them....

By "Hope Jerry does some more of that concept," I was actually referring to the micarta slabs being extended back to cover the tang extension, but yeah, those "bolstered" models are nice looking--thanks for the pics.
 
mymindisamob – That has a very rustic look to it. I would think it is similar to the TB that I love so much. Another Busse I need to give a try!

jimmyjones – Thanks for the size comparison. I think I could fit that in a pouch and then down in to a pocket in my jeans.

tomthebaker – You don’t know how close I was to breaking down and buying that one from Oeser. That is one of the nicest blades I have seen.

Cappy2cap – I agree.

Bulldog18 – I love the FBMLE too and your TB is sweet!

Reeper22 – That is a very slick color combo!

rbmcmjr – That is a unique knife! I really like how the handle looks. Is that two separate pieces of micarta that were fit flush together? If so that is awesome!

Jroden5446 – These are really starting to grow one me.

stricknine – I agree with you and I forgot to mention to Jaxx how much I like that knife!

oge14 – I wish you luck in your search ;-p

H2OCutter – Another vote for the TB! I didn’t think it was such a loved knife.

knifecoop – It looks perfect.

manix J - That knife looks to have a little extra in the finishing department. I would be extremely proud to own that one!

Last Visible Canary – PLEASE post picks when you come up with your finished product.

NJerzy154 – LMAO!

on_the_edge - Awesome blade with plenty of character!

Stump Buster – I like your style.

squishware – I can see your wants, but it looks like you are doing OKAY with what you have!

leatherman – Simple and classic!

Disaster Monkey – Nice ASH’s, I keep having this impulse for a CG ASH1 with a satin finish and black paper scales. I don’t think it will ever happen though.

David Brown - What is that tiny knife you are holding??? Also, did you ever film that GI Kevlar helmet test? I have been busy and might have missed it? I can’t wait to see that!

silverdragon33 – Its hard to pick one.

Unc – Nice one!

GrinderMcgee - That’s a hard choice!

GregS – That’s a real looker.

Guy – I think it would be your grail. I don’t know how to describe what “The BUSSE” is and its probably a little different to everyone! I am loving all the different choices everyone is coming up with. The best part is you don’t need any justification! Just that this is my “The BUSSE”

thetret – All are cool, but third one up is bad!

steelnut – Why are you pointing that thing at me??? That looks like quite an intimidating blade!

giant1 - #23 is a work of art IMO.

Yager – Nice pic!


Thanks to everyone that posts. I am really enjoying everyone’s responses.

You've got it. I've been calling it the Puzzle Heart. There is at least one other knife out there with a similar handle. I seem to remember that it is a clip-point version of the ZTSH, but I can't find any photos of it. This one was sold at Blade 2005. It lived in Poland for a while but I managed to bring it back over here.
 
I have got to get better pictures.

But these are all my BUSSE's and the are the BUSSE to me...at least until my B11 arrives


 
My Busse ....:D

Favorite edc

I modified these users years ago and they have held up fine. I thought that you might like to see something different.
