Wow

 

[David Lennon]

You guys only missed out on the GFD offering. The main offering is yet to come!

When I see an actual picture of one I'll know better. I just didn't want to order one of the diagram even though I was tempted.

 

[Cloetus]

But it's a Bowie...

When has a busse not been better than it's drawings. I am sure it will be everything and more that's in most people's imagination.

David Lennon I was in the same boat. I love the coffin handle and overall design but wanna see one first

Cobalt

True!!

So much this. Plus Bowie. Winning!!!!!

I definitely love a Bowie. I'm just getting to a stage I have that many knives and mostly Busse's that I'm being more selective.
There is an old MOAB somewhere buried in there.

^^ HOG problems! LOL. and I’m a bit jealous

 

[Private Klink]

Definitely a nice collection.

2 weeks! You know the drill!

My guess is (on good word) they’ll be done around late Jan/early Feb.

Just in time to help get me over the hump of the post-holiday wintertime blues!

January and February are always that time of year I dislike the most as it's coldest, darkest, and you're not anywhere near spring and warmer weather and you're just kind hanging out there waiting for the bleak and gray weather to leave so you can again enjoy some sunshine, outdoors, and warmer temps. Gotta love the dreary midwest winters. Blah!

Used to love winter as a kid but the older I get the more I hate it. How I'd love to move southwest!

Welp, I'll make the best of it and work on improving my winter camping skills. At least I can have fun playing with my Busses without fear of rust or damaging them on frozen wood. Gotta love INFI!

Who else hopes we one day get a mega version of this too?

.350 thick crowned perimeter with a nice deep dish hollow grind just like the Mega Ratmandu, Mega Ratweiler, and Mega Swamp Warden had.

I keep waffling on whether that'd be cool or not. This version is going to be awesome as is, no doubt. It's the ideal version if we only ever get one. Lends itself well to being a camp knife without straying too far from more traditional and balanced fighting bowies. A mega wouldn't be so good there, but man it sure sounds cool in my head!

For sure. Seems like most offerings are at that .21" size. Maybe we'll get a big old fat baby down the line

It'd be nice to see one soon... I'd like to know if the pommel and guards will be rounded; hoping for an LE with a hand-ground swedge...

Looking at the drawing it appears it is fully rounded everywhere except the swedge and obviously the edge.

The rounding goes along the spine, top guard, around entire handle, pommel included, around the lower guard, and halfway through the flat choil as indicated by the double lines present there.

Jerry's post here indicates rounding as well :

Here's A Preliminary Drawing Of A Busse Combat Coffin Handled Bowie

This model brings much of the flavor of the esteemed Battle Pappy combined with an integral double guard and rounded outer perimeter...

Shown with and without a generous fuller. . . Which one is your favorite?

Let's Drink!

An LE version sounds awesome! Especially if it comes with Tigerhide!
