Plus the original Euro 4 and Euro 6 Basics, made for distribution in Europe and also handled in Resiprene-C.

It’s not actually a custom-shop job. Several years ago, I sent a Basic 5 in to Jerry and asked him to thin out the blade for use as a hunter and also strip it and apply a bead-blast finish, then remove the handle. He really did a nice job, retaining a beautifully thin asymmetric edge. I then sent the blade to Dennis Riley in Arkansas, who cut down the front talon, made a guard and pommel cap for it, and installed a mortised stag handle. He did a beautiful job, following the texture of the stag along the rim of the pommel cap. Then I sent it to Kenny Rowe for a high-ride sheath, and the deed was done—one of my fav’s:

Such a great knife Will :eek: ... I love the thinking behind it :thumbup: Assymetrical "thinInfi" .... brilliant concept :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
There were a few of a mil overrun years ago that were modified INFI. Forget what they were called, although I have one.
Looks kinda like a Camp Tramp, only a little shorter, with Resperine C handle and with a finish very close to the Terror Monkey coatings, although this was before it was called Terror monkey. I believe name was an M-something or other.

My PC is down and I'm using the wife's notebook, or I would post a picture.

My memory is getting faint here, but I think the Tali-Whacker was also modified INFI. Correction: Now that I think about it a little more, I think the Tali-Whacker was the first (and only?) Busse Combat knife in SR-101.

Will, it's just silly how nice that knife is. :)

Thanks for giving us another glimpse into your seemingly inexhaustible pool of creativity, imagination and vision.

Probably not possible now, as they don't have the steel stock. No point to it either, anymore. AFAIK, M-INFI was intended to offer a lower price point in the Busse line up. But the cost of M- INFI went up, and it didn't make sense to continue it. That led to the creation of the Swamp Rat line, as the lower priced Busse offering. As Busse's sales volume has increased, and the manufacturing methods and efficiency improved, standard INFI has done a great job of holding the line on price.
