Please don't say "Jerry". For me it would be a mini version of the Flying Mojo.

Hmmmmmm......
1. An integral handled fixed blade.
2. Paper micarta handles
3. 3 1/2" blade length
4. 1/8 to 5/32" thick drop point or clip blade
5. INFI steel
6. Satin finish
7. Convex grind
8. Pocket clip sheath
The perfect small fixed blade to back up a Battle Mistress or axe. Call it the Sidewinder.

Other than the paper micarta handles and the pocket clip sheath, I'd call that the Skeleton Key. Jerry will probably put the handles on for you (or someone else surely can), and Normark or David Brown can do the sheath.
You're all set! I agree that It'll be the perfect compliment to the Battle Mistress; I'm impatient for mine.

My dream Busse knife:
1. Start with Uncle Screwtape's Behemoth
2. Put serrations on the clipped part of the spine
3. Make the finger choil a little deeper
4. Make the thumb ramp a little higher
5. Make the grind a little more acute
6. Possibly make it 5/16ths inch thick
7. Possibly give it Resiprene C handles
Someday....
My answer would have been differrent, but I already have my 1st choice dream Busse: the "Mikey Likes It!" recurved Satin Jack Variant.
I have a dream Busse in mind for each of several different types of use. Tomahawk, folder, etc. (Oh, and I want one user and one safe queen of each model ever made.)
But I'm also pretty darn happy with what I have.
