If it's "reasonably priced" this might be my first Busse.

Looks great. I like the smaller choil (no choil would have been nice too.)

Noooooooooo

The "smaller choil" is the bane of the Busse EDC. It's WAY TOO BIG for a sharpening choil and WAY TOO SMALL for a useful choil. Its a purely cosmetic gimmick that does nothing to enhance functionality. The "elf choil", as a certain someone calls it, is the single worst design element on smaller Busse knives.

Give me a 1/8" wide sharpening notch at most, and I'd be happy. Banish the elf choil!

I'm with Joe on this one. I like the look. Hoping it's reasonably priced.

It looks like a practical design, but it it costs as much as a Bushwacker, I think my Ratmandu or HRLM will do as well.

The protos were about a hundred dollars less than the bushwacker, and they were Satin or DC. The coated version should be a pretty good value.


For comparison's sake - the satin, smooth bolt SJTAC cost MORE than the bushwacker, even though it's a much shorter knife

Ok since the Hog is out of the bag lets see pics of your Protos!


Bruce you must have sweet talked Garth at BW, he was pretty adamant about "Hogs Only"

I hope these are priced right.

How thick were they?

Jerry just posted on BF, its 3/16" .187" thick.
