To all hogs,piglets, oinker's, ect lets play a game..........

In my view, the choil has a place on blades 6" or longer because it is sometimes necessary to 'choke-up' on the knife.

Choil's in knives under 6" are just plain silly. It wastes about an inch of blade space. The SAR5, (the unplanned child) is a great design... except for the handle (which is easily fixed).

The old school (not so "tactical") strait handled BA3, ABA's, and SHSJ's fetch more money than most Busse's on the exchange. :cool: Hmmmmm.... :confused:

I think there is a lesson there on what your customers prefer... ;) Now, I don't mean to be curt... but I am in marketing and it seems obvious to me which knives are in greater demand.:)

Busse's rock! But in my opinion the designs get too 'radical' and 'technicool'... I say... back to the future for Busse! Bring back the old school...

More practical... Less Tactical... :thumbup:

we have a couple good posts regarding

Design your dream Busse using a pre-existing model!!!!!!!!

lets see some more
 
A good thread. I would love to see photochopped pictures. I haven't handled any Busse, but I see outlines in pics and the modified Cali BARF would be sweet. I like what I hear about going back to the future and bring back old school. Those are the first ones I ever saw and made me want to learn more about these knives. That said I like the Fusion Battle Mistress with corrugated Bevels. What I like about Busses knives beyond the praise directed to them is that you can get things no one else is offering. its not bare exclusivity, but I don't see alot of machined handles and when I do I wonder if they are targeted to Busses buyers and collectors. Smooth blade coatings look to me like my dream finish for a knife..really flat and yet no shine..just the good looks of blade third dimension...no polish to distract from how the bevels are shaped and proportioned. I have seen some Busses that I thought were really great offerings even over everything else out there, and hope I can snag one on the aftermarket, but Tank Buster I think is a boon: answering a great call for options and choices on a practical size/shape user. I almost don't dare look in September when I can do something about it only to feel regrets; Another knife i 'll never get if its been taken off. Tank Buster is go....I think the boss is really bringing it and hats off to him and the crew for it---Joe
 
I am not a TAC handle fan, but I think with mags and a round pommel it can be a decent handle. I love the choilless Tank Buster because I have several, beautiful Busse blades with large choils. The Choil looks better and I think with each offerring there are new to Busse collectors who want the looks. This will be my first Busse without a choil which is cool and is helping me justify a new user AND a TAC handle.

I would LOVE to see Fusion Handled versions of the Mr. Mojo and Mr. Mofo!!!
 
Saber-ground Fusion Battle Mistress in Satin with Blue/Black hand shaped G-10 .3"
Saber-ground SFNO in Satin with the Blue/Black G-10 .3"

If I wasn't buying a house and strapped for cash, I'd be calling the custom shop.
 
My dream Busse? Well, it would have red hair. . .er, wait.:rolleyes: you meant knives, eh? :p

OK, imagine a Hellrazor and a Mistress have a baby. . .

The 10" length, and blade width/ thickness of the Mistress, the scalloped spine of both, and the SF scales of the Razor and the swedge going to the point dropped to the center of the handle.

Or, the one I have in my head, but would never be able to afford:
The Thermonuclear Meltdown Battle Master.

Which is the kukri, stretched to 22" OAL, .375 thickness, straight razor blade on the straight area of the spine, the nuclear serrations on the forward drop of the spine, the entire thing zero edge convexed with CBTs.

Oh yeah. BRING IT!!
 
There are so many that feel so good in the hand. Of all the Busse's I have sold or traded, there is only one I actually regret. That is the old solid bolt Badger Attack in A2 steel. It felt so good in the hand, and was one of my favorites. When I got back into Hogdom right before the ASh1 came out, I wanted a FSH so bad and didn't realize they were still being made. traded my old school Bagdger attack and Mean street to two HOFSHs. they are beautiful blades, don't get me wrong, but I've figured out that modern busse's can be had, but the old school models can not. "not without paying out an arm and a leg" I would like to see the old badger attack in INFI steel. This was my old baby.

I'm nearly with you.
Yours (dream knife!!) is just a tad longer than mine.
I reckon around 8"-9" scaled up Razor would rock.
I love that Razor shape, love the fuller and don't even mind the corrugated bevels on a Razor.
Just give it a little more reach and scale up to keep the proportions.
And hardchrome that bad boy and give it smoothed, fat snakeskin scales.

My Razor really is one of my favourite knives. And a bigger Razor is just that much more Razor to love.
 
I love me a good recurve, but the serrations not so much. And tantos are for stabbing into oil drums while cheezy music plays in the background, or committing seppuku because you realize you bought into the "proof" and your knife isn't guaranteed if you do those same things to it :rolleyes:
 
Mustardman, thanks big thanks for the laugh. I busted out and started choking with laughter right at the point you said " bought into the proof..." That was CLASSIC. I love when just telling the truth is accidentally so funny!---Joe
 
My dream knife will never happen, since its so close to the ABA.

But an ABA with about .50" to .75" taken off the Blade and handle length would be the perfect woods/hunting knife for me.
 
I would like to have a SAR 7 or SAR 8. Same handle/blade configuration as the SAR 4, but 7 or 8" long.
 
as soon as i get the money i'll order the tank buster with no choil.

now I just need a 4" blade to come factory in the same configuration...
