Here’s a knife I uncovered during my excavation of the shop. This is the Satin Jack that Jerry posted about back in September. He used it to gain access to an accident victim that he and Jennifer happened upon. Here’s the story in his own words from that post:

“A few nights ago, Jennifer and I were returning from Toledo (The Big City) down State Route 20. It was about 10:00pm and pitch dark. About 200 yds. in front of us a pretty bad accident occurred. A semi-truck full of grain had pulled out of one of the fields and was going about 10 mph when the Chrysler mini-van in front of us (going a bit over 70 mph.) slammed into the the rear of the truck. We were able to react quickly enough that we avoided becoming part of the accident and were able to offer some assistance to the injured man in the mini-van. Long story short, the front of the van was completely crushed, airbags were deployed, the guy was NOT wearing a seat belt and had crushed the steering wheel flat against the dashboard in spite of the airbags. Jennifer called 911 and stood in the middle of the highway with a large flashlight trying to stop three oncoming trucks form slamming into the now dark and impossible to see mini-van. I ran to the crushed up mini-van to check on the driver. The front quarter panel had collapsed into, and over the door making entry impossible.

INFI to the rescue!!!! I had a Satin Jack with me and was able chop and pry the crushed body panel back and then pry the van door open far enough to talk with the victim and assess the situation. By the time the paramedics arrived they had easy access to the victim. The victim was in pretty bad shape and had suffered massive internal injuries. He was ultimately life-flighted to Toledo. I have no idea whether he survived the accident or not. I tried calling the hospital but was unable to get any info on his condition due to the fact that I am not a family member.

He and his family are in our prayers,

Jerry and Jennifer”

Here's a pic of the Leopard Camo Spotted Jack that Jerry used. . . . It will be sold in its “as is” condition with lots of scratches and auto paint smudges.

See you guys sometime this weekend.

You were gone all weekend. There are no full ones. :p
 
Must be nice to use a brand new Busse once, and then lose track of it in a big pile! I guess if YOU ARE Busse it's not an issue though! I wonder if Jerry has any knives that he carries daily and has a sentimental attachment to?
It is a cool knife and a piece of Busse history now. I wonder if we could find out whatever happend to the poor fellow?
 
i asked the same question a while ago about the thickness, and it was generally agreed that it was iether 3/16" or .220. comparing my 1/4" to it, it looks by the talon holes depth on the photo to be thinner then the 1/4.

note that this is a one blade sale, not for mutliple spotted camo satin jacks
