I am in the market for a small Busse (4-5 inch blade) with thin stock (3/16" or less, preferably 1/8") combat grade, black coated blade with black micarta handles. Is there a model that fits this category and if so does anyone have one for sale? Thanks in advance for any info!!
 
Thank you!
The height on that blade is a little too much. I'm looking for maybe something 1" or 1 and 1/4" height.
I guess I should have put that in my original post.
Maybe something like a satin jack but with a 1/8" thickness.

Is there a Busse model like that?
 
The BOSS Street was made in an Anorexic version. Three versions really, Choilless Anorexic BOSS Street, CABS; Small Choil, SCABS; and Large Choil, LCABS. All in satin.

The BOSS Jack LE was thinner than the (too fat) CG versions.

The SAR 5 wasn't fat.

Even ThINFI doesn't get down to 0.125". :grumpy: The skinny Game Wardens are 0.14"

There was a single Custom Shop BOSS Jack that was made for last visible canary at 0.125", but he sold it off, and I lost track of it. Would have bought it if I could have at the time.
 
Thank you guys so much!!!
I would settle for something as thin as maybe .18 or .19.
I need to look at those Streets.

Thanks again!

If you want a nice thin sliver, look at the VEX. They pop up on the sale forum. Very thin and incredible cutting geometry. I bought two this last month.
 
Spend some time looking (drooling), through various models listed on: Busse Bad Mojo website...;-)

BATAC CG is sort of close: 5" blade, .187" thick, 1.5" blade width.

Anniversary Mean Street would fit the bill if it were a little longer: 3.5" blade, .155" thick, 1" blade width.
 
I don't know if it was offered in a coated version, but the Pork Shank was pretty thin (.150"), the right length (5"), and with a not too wide blade.
 
Hey op, I am looking for something like that too... I was trying to find out mre about SAR 4s... They might fit the bill--not sure yet.

Sar4 is by far one of my favorite designs. Wish I hadn't had to sell mine. Oh well. I'm sure there are more out there. ... ...... ... I hope

They pop up in the Exchange from time to time or you can email Garth at the Custom Shop and see if he can make you one.

Good luck!
 
I had forgotten about the LrMrStreets. :thumbup:

Is this one a newer hollow ground variant? Looks different that the usual flat grind versions.
