That looks pretty cool, especially if the blade was a couple inches longer... too bad there is literally zero chance it will be made from a photoshop job posted on BF.
A Custom Shop AMS was my 1st Busse. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it was really great and helped me realize I was in the right ballpark with a sterile, handshaped black canvas, solid bolts BusseThink it's still hiding in a go bag somewhere stateside...probably should dig it out and send it to Ban.
