Hi Everybody,

Well they have finally landed woo hoo.

In my opinion the best fighting knife Busse has ever made. I love these things.

Also I love that Jerry and I have kind of the same size hands :) ring was big enough and the knife just fit my paws like it was made for me.



I am working out the sheath design.

Now keep in mind my sheaths will work ambidextrously, function wise so it is kind of a mute point of sorts.



What determines Right Hand or Left hand Ring forward or ring back is

I put my makers mark on the body side.

Also I usually orient the drain hole toward the body



On this one I was thinking a drilled through drain hole on these so they are even more ambi.

Generally which way would you all carry these ?

I would think ring forward grabbing with your index finger in the ring reverse grip, is how I plan on carrying .
this is what I am thinking of making them like, unless you want it otherwise.

some may want pinky in the ring on the draw in forward grip and that would be ring facing rearward.

If you have a pre-order with me and want one or another please e-mail me, otherwise I will default ring forward.
Again it will work both ways you may just have to move the tek-lok

Thank you everyone

David

Can we do a bottom drain port so it’s reversible?
someone else's signature design
what I am doing is drilling a through hole at the tip.

So, I "LOVE" this knife! It feel a little small if you wear XL gloves, but it is tight and sturdy. For me its not made for an ITWB carry or even for a leg rig. This knife is a fighter true and true, nothing more, besides nail picking...

For me it is an off hand carry, with some sort of retention on the handle to keep it flat. If I was going back to war, I'd carry it horizontally across my back or the very most left lower on my kit. Some of us have been there, most have not (no judgment). Sometimes you have to close the distance and need to survive. This knife has not been put through its paces by myself but I have no doubt on its capabilities.

If you buy it for anything else besides a safe queen or for your loved one you'd be wasting money. Especially, without David giving you or you loved one the best sheath available.

For me the carry will be horizontal on a battle belt, right side, ring down and centered just off of the button on my pants. This allow for me to grab reverse grip with my R hand or overhand with my left. So that way either hand has access to it while also leaving my holster clear on my R hand side.

Maybe that makes sense
