Now THAT is a nice knife. My order is in. I like it better than the new Busse!
edited to add: one thing, though, and please forgive the most-likely dumb question... what exactly is a "Zero Edge"?
Oh... and Jeff, I'm going to be needing a sheath! A true zero edge means no secondary bevel. The primary grind is the only grind and it goes all the way down to nothing (zero).
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I'm so looking forward to a long walk in the woods with this blade in one of Jeff's sheaths, come home, make a drink and see a great picture review from Horn Dog about it.. that my friends will be a good day.

Even more confusing is that the photo does not show a zero grind. I can definitely see a secondary bevel there. Not that it matters much. It would last about 10 seconds before it hit the grinder, and I am sure you would do the same thing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I will have an awesome rainwalker combo sheath for it and my HCLE, both with black G-10 and shiny blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I mean, who really wants to sand the whole flat of blade with a platen every time you sharpen it?

CG version not available? Huh, What? Why display it then? How do you get a CG version then? This is typically how I like my Bussekin user blades.
