Wanna Help Design The Busse "Woodcraft" Knife????

Agreed on losing the choil on that Nessy but an outstanding design overall Samek :thumbup:
 
very cool thread guys!! I have enjoyed the morphing pictures as well :)
I have some nessy sketches somplace.........makes me want to drag em out:thumbup:
 
Brian (Goode) you do some great work! Love the design above but I have to get a Companion :D ...Now please NOBODY go check out his knives as it will only increase his back log and prolong my wait ;) :thumbup:
 
thanks for the comment Dunner;) I always go back to looking at what inspired me to make knives and Busse was a big part in that so I am glad to be mesioned in one of his threads...now back to the Bussies:D
 
Pi$$ that coil off on the 'Bussmuk' and I qould buy one of those...very nice.

I like it ! The only thing I would add would be some grooves to the pommel, similar to the thumb grooves.
 
There seems to be two schools of thought developing here as to what would consitute the perfect Busse woodcraft knife; a larger blade based on the traditional Nessmuck design, the spirit of which I think Samek has captured with his "Bussmuck" design, and the second a smaller more nimble blade which Rat Fink has represented with his fine design.

I would personally like to see this bushcraft knife called the "Busse Bushy" (think of the possibilities - "beaver crinkle").

Jerry will only be able to satisfy us all by building them both !!


 
A 4-4½" Game Warden with a slightly more spear-pointy blade would do it for me. I'd prefer G-10, bone/horn or wood over micarta.
 
I am fond of that style of handle myself. it gives a sturdy grip and allows guys with larger hands room for there fingers unlike some finger cut out sizes.

Brian, is there a practical reason for omitting the choil on that type of blade?

I just omit the choil because I dont like getting hung up cutting. Some guys like it and I like the looks of it on some knives myself :) It does make sharpening on a stone a little easier to have a choil on the knife.
 
Found this in post 126 of the picture thread (Woodrat). I'm not sure what model it is but it looks fairly close to what some guys are looking for:

Personally I think the SHBA or some version of it would be perfect. Here is a picture from post 136 of the picture thread (Solstice):

I see. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I prefer to have the edge disassociated from the ricasso. Not necessarily by a choil (although that certainly works). It might also be offset (as one often sees on forged bowies) or back-cut, as on the 'Benza.

I agree that having some discontinuity there makes sharpening easier.
 
A knife that has a slight recurve before the choil helps avoid the "hangup". :thumbup:


(not related to the nessmuk discussion...just wanted to add!) :o






So when are we going to see something? days...weeks...months...years....:D :eek: :p

I would buy the top one in a heartbeat.
A great combo of the original Nessmuk design and Busse influence. :thumbup:

The bottom one is great as well and lends itself to the more recent trend designs of "bushcraft" style with a Busse twist.

Nice work Samek, thanks! :):)
