What will the folder look and be like? Predict!

[Andrew Lynch]

We all know it's most certainly coming, we all know there's a prototype, and we all know we want one!

What will this most anticipated folder look and be like? There are so many facets to the design of the folding knife, the possibilities are mind-boggling.

Here's what I predict:

Blade

-about four inches long, maybe a little less
-3/16" thick, full flat grind
-drop point similar to the Satin Jack
-perhaps (I hope ) a talon hole which serves as a guard and a flipper
-INFI!!!!

Handle

-very thick stainless or Ti liners
-quite thick canvas micarta slabs (contoured)
-Nuclealock (the new Busse lock )
-nice handle swell like the E-line
-probably a texture, maybe like the SJ
-lanyard hole
-perhaps a slight drop, like the drop on the Basics

Here's what I think it will look like (click on the pic for an actual-size pic): Busse Folder


Let's hear your predictions: specs, features, materials, etc. If you can, a sketch or computer-rendered pic would be cool

Let's see who gets closest!

Hmmmm...I wonder if there's a way to trick Jerry into contributing to this.

HarryDog,
Just offer the person closest a Case of Carling Black Label, and he'll be in

Hmmmm...I wonder if there's a way to trick Jerry into contributing to this.

Let's see...we could all chip in and open a Cutlery Distribution company, and place prepaid order for say $50,000.00's worth of folders...

Oh second thought, I guess we'll just wait.

The Busse Folder will look just like the Nimrod Special Edition Satin Jack.

 

[Strabs]

Nimrod's special edition Huh????

I'm not really on top of folders that much, but I hope that it doesn't really need the jaws of life to open

Like this if it was an auto minus the Tanto oh & INFI of course these things are 3/16 thick & wicked. http://www.buybrownholsters.com/images/two_severtechs_good_picture.jpg

The lock will be a combo of a liner lock, axis lock, and the locking mech on Cold Steel's ER1.

It will open with one hand, but it will take two hands to close the blade by disengaging the two locks.

Oh wait!! This is the locking design I am working on. Opps!

I bet the cost will be the same as the Steel Heart.

How much will this folder cost? Will it be > or < $300.00?

 

[mschwoeb]

You cant measure the cost in monetary value!
But be prepared to box and send you soul to Busse......
(Those that haven't already!)

We really don't have any information regarding the "real" Busse Folder. However, like everything Busse I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

As soon as Jerry decides it is ready for release I'm sure all the pertinents will be posted. So stick around and hopefully we'll all find out soon.

Somebody has a pic on their website of a photoshop rendition of a Busse folder. I cant remember who, but that is what I think the folder should look like. Does anyone remember where this pic is? It has a green handle and looks like a satin finish on the blade.
