With the Mojos coming out we are going to hear a lot more about one of if not the most controversial features of any of the Busse kin knives the blade catch better known as the bottlecap opener. Actually it is not there to open bottles but as a blade catch for blade on blade knife fighting. I love the catch but I am a knife fighting fanatic(that sounds worse than it is)but I know quite a few people have very good reasons to dislike it. The main one is it is not even remotly usfull as your chance of getting in a bowie duel are incredibly low and even if you were it is a tricky technique. If the 7 inch recurve is offered with and without a catch which one would you get? If the mojo where only available with the catch would it stop you from buying it?
I can't wait for this knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> A 7 inch RES C handled S7 fighter is other than the PBF the knife I have been dreaming for the yard top make. I would like a bit thinner stock though to make it a bit faster in the hand. It's not like it needs to be thick to be strong like some lesser brands.

imho.. it simply wouldn't be a "mojo" without the catch! that's part of what gives this knife its personality! i am almost certain the "uncle" is intended to stand for Un-Mojo. Once i get my belt sander (inspired by Horn Dog).. i am imagining a wicked sharpened swedge on its dropped spine.. completing this Fighter! hmm.. need an inspirational pic right about here.. ![[Linked Image from scrapyardknives.com]](http://www.scrapyardknives.com/images/SCRAPMOJO7_med.jpg)

I don't have a belt sander, but I was thinking perhaps one of the Dogs in the yard might help me. If I send them my mojo blade, maybe they could sharpen the swedge for me and then MAYBE send it back to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I kinda think the hook may get in the way.

If I only get one, I'll prefer it "hookless", but I'll probably buy one of each. I have a SIG P220 for knife fights.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

My SAK, bic lighter or other small knife covers the bottle opening thing. If it's intended as a blade catcher like a Spanish notch then the clip really needs to be sharpened since in order to make effective use of it you will have to use the knife edge up.
HD has the rite idea however guns aren't always the best choice at a knife fight best to bring a big knife along.

Since I am not Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee, I prefer a fighting knife that is long and fast. Reach is important. An Ontario Bagwell Bowie or Condor Jungle Bowie would work for me better than a mojo for fighting. I really have no problem with the blade catcher on the Mojo, I just thought it might limit sheath selecton.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
