This is a classic/collectors knife and is one of the forefathers of many of today's fighting/survival knives. . .
From my research:
"The Newt Livesay BUSHIÔ aka: Bu-Shi is an original knife design from the Wicked Knife Cutlery and Manufacturing CompanyÓ facility in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. The BUSHIÔ is an original fighting knife design of Newt Livesay, and it has been manufactured by the Wicked Knife Cutlery and Manufacturing Company since September 1994.
The Newt Livesay BUSHIÔ was designed around the ‘Livesay Number Two Style Handle.’ The ergonomically designed Livesay Number Two Style handle is a masterpiece that lends its self to superior handling, and security by either the skilled professional or novice user; even when you up to your elbows in the mud and the blood. With a critical eye for performance, the Livesay BUSHIÔ has a high single flat-ground blade for superior strength, and cutting abilities. It is primarily design is that of a combat fighting knife, but it does have some utilitarian aspects. The blade design is that of a modified “tanto” with a taper-profiled tip that will deliver devastating shock to a target; this could be vital for the solution of your mission. When looking down the spine on a BUSHIÔ the blade has a very noticeable curve. This ‘bend’ or curved blade is formed into the blade during heat treat. This knife design screams pure combat fighter. A link to a Question and Answer in reference to the LIVESAY BEND BLADE knives.
Newt Livesay is one of the premier and original designers of KYDEX sheaths for knives and other weapon systems, and the BUSHIÔ comes housed standard in a ‘Livesay designed Snap-Loc leg sheathing systems Ô ’. The BUSHIÔ is made from a solid bar of 1095 high carbon tool steel, deferentially heat-treated to a superior 59-60 Rockwell on the “C” scale, and triple drawn. A final DeepCryo Quench at sub-zero temperatures is preformed before the knife is assembled."
