A question was asked about uncoated spines on older Busses. I've wondered about this also. Some seem brushed in appearance and some have a sheen to them. Also some have spines fully uncoated and some are coated to the ricasso and then are uncoated around the handle.
Anyone have any insight to this and why they differ even on same run models?
 
The ways of Wauseon are dark and mysterious.....

No clue. On the older models I've received various combos in the same shipment.
 
Personally love the uncoated spines an handles,,, my BM-E came all coated so I stripped it and polished it to mirror,,,, IMHO, just look wayyyyyyyy cooler that way :thumbup::thumbup:

Guess there's no rhyme or reason to it,,,, Busse is what it is !!!!!!!!! and glad of it !!!!
 
I like the REALLY old ones that have the "white coat" under the black coat

Me too, same deal.

Think they had a guy doing spines and/or another doing logos.

Whatever got done, got done, the rest ........

I think it is because of the way the handles were finished.
 
I have a pair of SHSH's (recent custom shop products) that both have the rounded polished spines.

They feel great in the hand.

It's hard to explain but a "square-edged" knife just seems unfinished in comparison.
