I've only been watching/using Busse's since 2007, and this is the first 'test' knife that I've seen come out. What other knives have had a 'test' blade released? What sort of changes have you seen between the test knife and the final released knife (pics would be nice)?
 
Downtown, and here I thought there was a time limit on the agreement. :) Ok, ok, I understand all the 'need to know' crap

I've heard the same thing... and seen a pic of one of these supposed FSH Test blades.

This was also a test blade... made before the BM was released. She was made for field testing during the Wilderness Advanced Survival Program. :thumbup:

There were Lean Mean Street test blades, I had one. Forget the number, but it was <8 and only 5 have been verified/located.

No markings, but identified by the lack of a talon hole.

Mine made its way West years ago. Perhaps it will come out of a sock drawer for a pic?:D:D

M8 on the Bad Mojo site, but that one wasn't mine.

I know there was either a FSH or a FBM Test Blade. I have a one-of-a-kind Bowie with non-standard Fusion grips. Jerry told me the grips were an option issued on the test blades and was not chosen by the test team, although personally he liked them best. He had no idea how a set got out of the factory on my knife.

I later found out that MikeH had a key to the shop and was running 24 hour a day surveilance on us! :eek:

Needless to say, he has a bunch of "unreleased" models!!!!:eek:
