Stay tuned for more. . . . . . :D
 
Awesome job Mike. Making knives must run in the family. Hope you stick with it.


Look out fellas, there is a new Busse in town and starting at 9 years old this could very well help carry on the Busse knife addiction for many years to come. ;)


Congrats on the first blade Mike and keep up the great work.:thumbup:

There goes my hope of someday becoming an apprentice! I guess I'll have to persue other avenues when I get out of the restaurant business. Well it doesn't hurt to keep it in the family I guess. Jerry can I still sweep the floors around the shop? :D
 
Hey thats my Mud Razor!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:


Ahhh this puts him well on the road to financial independence! Busse Combat 2021!!
 
Very cool Jerry! Looks like the Busse family is in good hands...:D :thumbup:
 
"Hey wait a minute, hey Jerry what's his delivery time like? "




10 years and TWO WEEKS!!
 
Oh, to have access to INFI and micarta, CNC machines and grinders. That little guy's gotta be on cloud nine...:cool:
 
Nice work for a young man.....to let him be an old man I would like to see
a respirator and ear protection on him.Keep up the good work,like that blade profile.
 
Holy Scooby Snacks, Mike!!! That looks awesome!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'll take one in Double Cut finish... :D
 
The blade blank looks much smaller than a SJT. Could it be the Badger Tac we have been waiting for?
This young kid should have a very good future!!!
Great work!
 
There goes Skunk beating us all to that very first special Mike Busse knife.

Way to go Mike :thumbup: and great pictures Jerry :D
 
That is so great to see. Not only does he look like he's doing a great job, but he will carry these skills with him for the rest of his life. Now once again, what's his delivery time like? :D
 
Thats just awesome! a young boy learning an old trade, precious moments you got to love'em.......... "priceless":thumbup: :thumbup:
