Busse Combat sits between production and custom with unusual designs and more expensive handles. Lots of limited runs which is a bit of an oxymoron. Tons of collectors buy and sell blades. Personally I don't like them very much, I find their designs over the top and the last run with the grooves is just plain ugly.

Busse Combat is generally known for tons of features like scull crushers, thick stock, overlong knives, grooves, weird serrations, camo, etc., that are not needed in the outdoors at all; with the occasionall gem like the Warden. But I'm a minority with a conservative taste in knives, Busse has a huge following of very dedicated fans and if you buy one you can usually re-sell it at a profit. And least we forget, they claim to have found the holy grail of metals, of course its a secret. Great marketing.

Swamp: used to be the entry level line taking from the Busse Taliwhacker and the legendary Basics.
