Walking Dead Folder Prototypes!!! . . . .
There is about to be a VERY Unique Opportunity For Serious Busse Collectors.
This is an INFI HOG Only Offer!
If you are not an inducted HOG, you may want to get an email off to Becky ASAP to see if you qualify for HOGdom!!! . . . .You can email her at becky@bussecombat.com
We have folder prototypes that we made, starting back in 2013, for the Walking Dead TV series.
A number of them were sent to the studio for the show, and we have the remaining parts and pieces of the first run of prototypes left over.
A small number of you may have seen a version of these at the BLADE Show.
It is important to note that there are a number of variances in construction and finish.
These prototypes are NOT all the same.
So, if you are looking for consistency in design features, these may not be the knife for you.
Some have slightly heavier springs than others, and require that you use a two-finger pinch on the lock button to open it, while others were made with lighter springs that could be opened with a quick flick of the knife.
Some have belt clips, while others do not. There are, likewise, different belt clips in both shape and finish. . . . Again, these are not for everyone.
The INFI blades are heavy-duty and approximately .160" thick.
Some have custom screws while others do not. The spacers are, likewise, made from a variety of colored G-10.
Some blades have hand-ground flat bevels, while others feature our Corrugated bevels.
Some have shiny finishes, while others have distressed finishes.
These are very time-consuming to make.
Based on the projected demand and our inability to fit them into the Custom Shop schedule at the time, we decided to shelve them for the future.
Well, here we are, 13 years into the future, and the crew in the custom shop has been begging to dive in and finish them up.
This is basically a Walking Dead folder grab-bag of sorts.
We will be posting some pics soon.
Stay tuned, my friends,
Let's Drink!
