Hands aren't that big just wide with fat fingers. And probably 1-2" would do it.

I thought a longer handle would be nice, maybe an inch, but now I think the whole handle just needed to be larger. It's kinda small proportional to the blade size. If you line up the talon holes, it's the same length as the Nano Team Gemini. A little larger and fatter would have been nice IMHO.

Anyway, mine has a pretty good competition finish on it, and if you refrain from obsessing over the hollow ground clip, it's not so bad. It is a beast.

WOW GUYS. I am 2000 miles away from home and the knives arrived yesterday. So I won't get to see mine until next week. But I gotta say, this may just be the best looking Busse straight blade of all time for me. It looks perfect. I love the way the swedge disappears in the reflection and makes the blade look like a typical Bowie. Genius.

I mean, it's only a little out of my way home from the office... Might add 10 minutes to my drive. 😁

Boy howdy! As Happy as a <INDUCTED> HOG in slop here!!!! :D

The "Competition Finish" + G10 is more closer to museum quality than Competition imho. Only the lightest machining marks here and there. I was so hyped when I un-mummied it I thought I'd gotten sent a Satin by mistake!

The G10 was dry so I gave her a drink of mineral oil in the first couple of pics.

My jaw dropped further when I unwrapped the "Desert Bronze" + Black Canvas Micarta. This thing is more like "Dessert" Bronze because it is so SWEEEEEETTT! :cool:

The contrast of the dry dry canvas micarta with the sparkly desert bronze really evokes hot dry sand.

I wished I'd gotten a bronze with G10 to go with this dynamic duo!

I'm not gonna get into the balance & ergos of these 2 at this point because I honestly feel gobsmacked in the best way possible and it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be objective at this moment!

That Comp finish with G10 is like James Bond (Sean Connery, of course) in a black tux, playing high stakes baccarat at a casino in Monaco. Just classic.

I agree 100%...Bond is not as refined as a satin finish.

There's animal savagery lurking just below the, somewhat, smooth civilized surface-- the hints of which can faintly be made out by a trained eye.

Don't have a PPK, so the 75B will have to sit in:
