The "HACK" Series . . . . The Whole Story!!!!!

[Jerry Busse]

"HACK" stands for "HOG Apprentice Custom Knives". . . . Yes, it's the return of the Busse apprentice series. . . . There should be quite a few different "One-Time-Only" models offered and not all of them will be made of INFI. . . This particular model is INFI however.

I designed this knife for my daughter Katie . . . Once I finished it, everyone in the shop wanted one, So, here it is for everyone to have a shot at. We call it the Bear Cub. . .

The HACK series of knives has been designed for training our apprentice custom knife grinding team. The prices of these will not reflect their true custom nature. :thumbup: . . . In other words. . . you should be pleasantly surpised by the affordable pricing!!

The Serial Numbered Limited Edition will feature the fossilized mammoth ivory handles. . . .These will be very limited as we have a very limited supply of this rare handle material! ! ! !

Here are the pics!!

These are going up after the NMFBM. . . In other words. . . .Very soon!!!!

Sweet! The size is what sold me. I may have to pick one up for every large Busse that I have. They look like the perfect piggy-back blade.

Would it be possible to get a comparison shot of it and a ASH-1?

 

[Guyon]

Very cool Jerry. Exactly what does it take to be an apprentice at Busse? I'd like to get my application in.

Hahaha, what a trip! It looked so much bigger. The mammoth scales...:thumbup:

 

[dobywon]

This is totallty awsome, well worth all the wait.
BTW, I knew it would be.
Great job BOSS.

 

[Idaho Jarhead]

I'll take one of each!!!

 

[dobywon]

Hey Jarhead, Those are sweet huh?

 

[p220c]

Yeah!

I am going to scale the image shortly.

I have really been wanting an AD or a leaner meaner. This looks like just the ticket. I am stoked!

ETA: ok I fired up my sketch software and applied the photometrics. The sharpened edge is 2.7" and the blade is an even 3.0" from tip to "hilt" (edge of scale)

ETA II: I just wish the "HACK" lettering wasn't all jacked. Aside from that, this is a perfect blade.

Is that a 2 finger knife? Im thinking neck knife maybe.

 

[shunsui]

All those handles with pins look like a Busse River Knife and Tools gallery.

 

[EvanBNW]

Glad to see the new knives will be smaller and more affordable. Now I can order multiples!

 

[dobywon]

I have a feeling these knives are going to be real handy.

 

[triplem]

I'm diggin how small it is. Trying to figure out how easy it is to hold. How many fingers can you get on the handle?

That's exactly what I was thinking about...the perfect fixed blade EDC.

 

[triplem]

Need another size comparison pic. How about putting it next to the NMFBM.

Edit: Arghh - Jerry snuck a few pics in on me. I can see I'm going to need one or three of these.

[robstar]

Those are super sweet!!!!!!!!! I love the size !!

With an affordable price I'll be grabbing at least 3 !!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Jaxx]

OK, Boss... Now show us a pic of one in YOUR hand!!

I'm wondering about the size of the handle, and how many fingers I can fit on it, myself...

...But my nuclear teddy bear has been bugging me for some INFI, so I guess I'll get at least one for him...

The Graham Bros. Super Stubby Spearpoint that he's holding in this pic is almost exactly 5.5"... Actually it's a tiny bit longer than that.

Interesting...!
