Last stupid question until the sun comes up.

I don't see any discussion on what services they provide, so I'm curious.

I'm new to the Busse world, but am certainly a fan after using a cultellus for a while. And I love the warranty.
 
they make knives. :p





but seriously, most of the custom shop variations end up at shows or are sold during ganzas.

you can order a knife from the custom shop, as well. i believe the rate is roughly $100.00 per inch.

or 75$ per hour on modifications.
 
I would love to see if they would make a hidden tang blade for me and I could take it from there with half inch nickle silver for the guard and buttcap at my house. WHoo Hoo exciting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think they mainly drink, but once in a while, they put out a nice knife or three. :p
 
Does any one want to post the snail Mail address of the custom shop so ssunfish can ask for himself? If they do I promise I will get some geek to post photos after I get it and after I build it. If they don't we will all know:)

E-mail me the pics and I'll slap them on my photobucket and post them. Photobucket makes posting pics super easy.
 
You can ask the custom shop to do just about anything. The size of your quote will indicate how inclined they are to meet your request. :D

Seriously - if it's vaguely knife-shaped and you want it made out of materials that Busse deals with (steel, micarta, etc.), they'll probably give it a shot. Custom handle materials and blade finishes are fairly standard. Modifications or add-ons to current models are also relatively common, but most people seem to look outside the Busse shop for modifications. Custom knife designs are often done, but the Busse line is so diverse that it's more cost effective to track down a model that fits your bill. Some of the notable customs that have come around lately are the Chuck-chette (essentially a large, 2-handed short sword) and a Fusion Steel Heart fitted for a Holy Terror.

:eek: Danm UJ... get outta my head! :rolleyes:

Garth currently has one of my Rucks... it's getting a black crinkle coat with competition edge, and black linen micarta slabs (rope cut pattern).

If you do a .420" thick Ruck w/ comp finish and black linen... order 2 and I'll take the other! :thumbup: :D

.
 
No, wall will be safe man ...:thumbup:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Not sure if Garth wants to take on such a project but we will see.

I just need the ok and I will start saving up ...

I love the rope cut handles but may want thin hand shaped black linen.
Also a slight clip point on the entire blade to aid in stabbing stuff since it will be so thick.

I'll call it : :confused:
MOAR (mother of all Rucks) or xxxl Ruck


Ok. Foo I will order ya one also.

Your total comes out to : $3750.00 :D
