Working Tacticals?

poboy · May 22, 2001

I've found that the knives that draw my attention the most are those down and dirty, hard workin' tacticals, like Newt Livesay's, TOPS, Mineral Mountain, etc. Just wondering if there are other brands in this same style that I might want to check out. Any suggestions?
-Thanks

Just checked the links. Busse site is down.
Both Busse and Strider have forums here under Makers/Manufacturers.

I don't want to keep saying"look at mine",but if your interested,I make nothing but combat-tactical knives that are 1/4 inch thick,with guards and butts.Sheaths are thick kydex with heavy nylon straps-w/snaps and tec-loks for belt attachments.

Yeah Eric, everyone should get a Pirahna... I like the one I picked up off of Jeff last year at a CKG show. I met you at the same time and handled your blue-handled Damasteel version of the same (Nice!) just before getting my ATS model. I've toted mine around discreetly on occasion and am not afraid to use it or get it dirty. The hollow grind on this piece is fantastic, it gets nice and thin down near the edge and CUTS like a mofo... The sheath ain't half bad either

Later,

Hey PM...

LOL

Thanks...

Yaa it's a Great little blade for sure...

On the way up to the CKG show last fall on the 401 at about 3:45am we gutted a deer on the side of the road with that very same knife. Jeff basically unzipped it and had it cleaned out in short order...

I did use my Busse Basic 7 to chop the pelvic bone in half while a copper held the flashlight for us...

We must have been a sight covered in blood walking into the hotel Eh !! LOL

Glad you are enjoying the knife,,it's a Great design I think...
