I'm thinking a Scrap-a-rucki or a Golok. Long and thin. Some great blades are made in 5160 and it will be interesting to see how the Busse heat treat raises the bar. Thanks for S&P Dan Now the waiting begins MM

Klink, is 5160 more corrosion resistant than sr101?
And no one is taking a guess? Then a ruck or golok it is!

M/M, 52100 should hold an edge slightly better, but 5160 is considered tougher according to what I Googled. The heat-treating protocol is important, where Bussekin excels. They both will rust, but supposedly the 5160 will rust more evenly. I'm not afraid of 5160; it's a good spring-steel used by a lot of swordmakers.

5160 is a medium carbon spring steel. People make knives and swords of that steel. Choosing this steel indicates in my opinion that the next knife is going to be long. Though I was hoping it would be 6-7" and thin...  Good blade steel and in the hands of Dan.... Well, I know I´m excited!

Just Spitballing. But with the Busse's History with the Walking Dead and Zombie flicks (resident evil) I'm going to say a replacement for Michonnes blade.

I dream of a ResC handle Zilla Kuk of some type. But would love to see a katana type blade. Just excited for a new model.
