want my first Busse

[JediKnight86]

I've always admired the look of these knives. I just bought my first two fixed blades, a Benchmade 210 Activator and Chris Reeve Mountaineer I. I want to add a smaller Busse to the growing collection, but having trouble finding info on the models and whatnot. Help?

Click on the models on the left, and you'll get lots of info and pics.

Let folks here know what intended uses might be, and I'm sure you'll get some suggestions.

For a smaller EDC-sized Busse, you won't go wrong with an Active Duty or Heavy Duty.

wow there seems to be quite a few variations. are these things custom on some level?

Most were or are regular production knives--though there are numerous variants, many of which you might consider "custom." Some folks like to collect the variants.

The "New Line Up" includes knives that have been produced recently, or that are coming up in the future. You probably know this already, but Busse only puts one or two knives at a time on its site, takes orders for a period, and then puts one or two more knives up for sale. The Hell Razor and Pork Belly Skinner just went off. The War Boar is up now.

Anything goes in the secondary market, though you usually pay a bit more. Keep your eyes on eBay or on the Exchange forums if you're looking for a smaller Busse. Several sold just recently.

There's also the Busse Company Store, which recently had some Skeleton Keys and which still has some Pork Belly Skinners. Both are smaller blades.
