So my WTH showed up today and I am beyond impressed! Based on Jerry's pics, it was hard for me to tell how the proportions would play out in hand, but now that it's here, I'm beyond happy with this O2W impulse buy. Check it out:

This might be the thinnest and sliciest Busse(or kin) I've had so far, definitely the thinnest sabre-ground Busse I've handled. This is the WTH alongside a PM2:

The choiless design and ability to get right up to the cutting edge is really nice and I think will allow for even more versatility. In a lot if ways, it feels like you took the venerable classic, the ABA3 addressed its few potential ergonomic & peformance hurdles, and simply made it perfect...yea, I'm already feeling a bit smitten with this one...

Based on initial impressions, the WTH feels like a truly capable, EDC friendly, all-arounder while also being thin enough to even do some food prep with. Finances have been really bad lately and I was thinking this might have to be a catch and release before it arrived, but it's too good - I'll sell something else to balance things out and do all I can to keep this beauty.

Jerry, you may have designed an instant classic with the WTH...awesome!
 
I LOVE those grindlines! Very sexy...

The pic alongside the PM2 is extremely helpful-- helpful in making me feel sorry I didn't order one...THANKS! :p

Seriously tho, I can see why you're in love :thumbup:...definitely has carved out a spot on my "need" ;) list!
 
Wow that's not at all what i was expecting the WTH to be. It looks like it would be a great edc. I really wish i had joined the busse party sooner. Like 2 years sooner. I missed out on all but the last 2 offerings of OP2W.
 
Nice!! I wonder if any of these will weasel their way into round two grab bags.

One can hope lol

Very neat - looks almost like a smaller Beck Tracker with an elongated blade. If it had a full convex grind I'd have to be hunting one on the exchange.

Sweet blade man!! What colour Micarta is one that sucka? Black?

This is the green canvas micarta...looks a lot better in person than it did in Jerry's original pics of the green and burgundy Micaela options. I was kinda nervous going for it but it looks good to me :)

These kinda capture the color accurately:

The perspective shots in my original post make it look a little bigger than it really is. Here's what it looks like straight on:

Nothing small about that one buddy. Looking good.

Same handle as the AMS, and less than 5" surely must be small by Wauseon standards ;-) a small chasis Busse perhaps?

Nice, mine is the MUK LE. I absolutely love that razor

Ooooh yea, the MUK LE definitely is one of Jerry's best designs in this size range and based on reading here over the years, it cuts like proper thINFI as well! I can see the MUK punching way above its weight in regards to the amount of work it can get done.

Seeing how much I already enjoy the feel of this style choil setup with the WTH has me even more curious about wanting to try both the MUK LE and the SAR5 now...
 
Very nice! Wish I was around when they went on sale. Ill be checking the exchange now...... Beautiful!
 
Def looks better in hand than I had thought it would! Nice score!
