The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
My thoughts exactlyI was wanting to try the Ergo handle and love new infi coming out, but doesn't seem like a great deal to me either. Some specs similar to TGLB, but no fuller, no LB treatment, no meltdown treatment, same price. Small break on G10, but I prefer micarta usually so no help there either.
I'll just be watching.
With that being said I would also like to ask Jerry a small request...
Slow down, you are killing me. I want one of every Busse you make, just take that as a given. Theres no rush.
Ive got like 8 blades on order and now I want another one!
And If the wife finds out what Ive been up to I'm toast meat. lol
Seriously, thanks for the excellent work.
This is why the exchange is so active. Most busse nuts go through a binge and purge cycle where they buy too many knives and then sell a few to pay the mortgage. I have 6 blades on order and need to sit this one out. I just have too many 7-8" Busse's already. If it came in around $317 or $327 with micarta, I would have bought one.
"The only bad thing to say about it is that it is nearly impossible to put down!
I took the prototype with me at night and just kept picking it up and putting it down constantly while watching TV with the family.
Drove with it in hand nearly the entire way to work and then took it into my office where I continued to constantly pick it up and put it down.
I know that you have never heard me go on and on about how great a particular knife feels, but this is exceptional!
That is exactly the thing that hooked me. I have plenty of other blades, from carbon v cold steel to EK. Then I got my moss green/black canvas Rodent 6. It is like it wants to be held. The balance and the feel that this will last for ever. We will all be long gone and turned to dust but my Busse's will live on in the hands of my kin. Orders will be given that none of them are to ever be sold and somewhere down the line, one of my children or grandchildren or so on will be holding that blade, feeling the same thing, and will say quietly to themselves...Damn this is a good knife!
