So a friend was telling me about these great knives (s***) after I showed him some of my busse knives and I thought I might check them out. Right away I see the owners must be busse fans looking at the handle design this has proababy already been brought up

Might look cool to look at but come on now, we all know that's not INFI, it just can't compare unless you pretend. Might take down cartoon zombies...
 
FWIW, I know one of the guys who makes Zombie Tools, and I'm trying to get in touch with him right now. I'll let him know about this thread and give him contact info for Busse Combat.

I don't have his number (friend of a friend) so it may take a day, but I have no doubt he will address this in a timely fashion.
 
The guard is a definite rip-off of the Busse Holy Terror, and the talon hole has been trademarked by Busse Combat. Something tells me the man is a Busse fan. I guess that imitation is the best form of flattery.

It is a nice looking machete though.
 
Pinned aluminum handles!! 5160 spring steel !! :rolleyes:

Oh ya, these make Cold Steel knives look good ......

(although some of the designs are kind of interesting).

Well, to be quite honest, the knuckle guard has been around for a very long time, centuries. There are examples from the Dark Ages. Sharpened or not, its still a knuckle guard.

The hole at the rear part of the blade on the other hand, even though I've seen examples on antique knives and swords, is trademarked. And as I have found out, is very expensive to get and to defend.

Not singling you out Isheldon, just hopefully answering the questions to come. :)
 
Trademark, copyright or patent?

What is a trademark or service mark?
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. Throughout this booklet, the terms "trademark" and "mark" refer to both trademarks and service marks.

Do Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents protect the same things?

No. Trademarks, copyrights and patents all differ. A copyright protects an original artistic or literary work; a patent protects an invention. For copyright information, go to http://www.copyright.gov . For patent information, go to http://www.uspto.gov/main/patents.htm .

If the term or words "Talon Hole" are Trademarked the no one can use those words to describe an integral guard with a hole.

There is no word association with the hole that is trademarked, thus no word association with it can be legally guarded. However, the hole itself is trademarked as a "mark".

$0.15 nut&bolt would make him good to go, and they look pretty neat. I prefer mine a bit more functional looking, and 5160 - better then 440C :).
