Big Chunk Of SR-101 Coming

Dogs

I got a big chunk of SR-101 coming. It just makes sense

Stay Tuned

Dan

Dan, you know we need pics!

Or at least specs.

hmmmmm??????

Scrap Raider?

Yard Bolo?


Alpha HUCK?


I hope it has a Regulator handle!!

Also if you want to pair it with a mini Tali whacker for a Dog
Bowl special that would be cool!

An Alpha Reg 9.5 in SR101 would make sense


MM

Scrap-a-Rucki

Alpha Dog 12

Scrap-16

TRASH 3


MM

YEEEEEESSSSSSS!

This is going to be a good one.

Klinks Res C Yard Hammer!!

MM

That would be just TOO GOOD to contemplate!!!!

Now Tom, don't get to excited. Remember your blood pressure.

Pics n Specs!

Pics n Specs!


MM

hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Pics?

Specs?

Massive Metal we make knives , not hammers.

They have to tease us for a while during their testing.;)

Hammering is an important part of the testing

Wha? I've been using them wrong!


MM

Dan or Squatch
Is the YardHammer going to have the new compound grind that the Busse and the Swamp have been offering?


MM

LOL, I vote for the Yard Hammer. That's a great name for a big chunk of steel.

I like it!

Yeah, it will probably be that big ole piece of Bowie like in that old black and white Movie.

Which movie Randy? The old Jim Bowie television show starring Scott Forbes was in black and white, but movies such as "The Iwon Misress" with Alan Ladd were in color.

Pics n Specs?

Its Hammer Time!!


MM

I loves me some news like this!!!

Bring It Big Daddy!!!

I THOUGHT it was the Iron Mistress but wasn't sure. I thought it was B&W though. Oh well.

Good to hear from you again Stumpy!

We need some YardHammer action shots!


MM

ps How jealous is the Swamp of this new blade??

The Swamp has been pumping out a few blades recently.

Yes!!!!!

Can yall tease us some more with just the blade length? We need more info!

Hmmmm on BF Jerry says maybe to a MOAB.....could this be the resC Battle grade MOAB we have all been wanting? If it is I am buying 2

I'm ready for some good news... Whatcha got in store for us DD?

Pics n Specs



MM


Lets get Hammered

I'll believe it when I see it.

I hope it's not too big. All the super thick stuff from the Swamp is opposite of what I like lately.

Thin is in!

.210 is a great thickness for a knife.

picsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss


specssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss


please


MM

Darn, I just ordered a new laptop
Hopefully I can sneak this in

Dan certainly has me curious as to what's next!

pics aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand specs


Lets get Hammered!!


MM

Sounds good to me!

Dang!

MaYBE sQUATCH WENT OUT TO TEST IT, and decided to keep it...


MM

It's been 3 weeks already geeze. I am starting to remember how I got bored waiting for new releases. I understand a little teasing and building anticipation but 3 weeks and not a single detail. I'll probably forget to check back in and miss it like the trash2. Which equals less money for Busse. You guys need to evolve with the times a little

I'm thinking the Grab Bags were an unexpected release and they had to space out this release a bit because of it


MM

Agree with rockgolfer, at least Swamp side of the group has their ducks in a row.

The Swamp is no more. It's in name only

Does no one remember the old days of when "Two Weeks" could mean six months or more? I mean that is kinda a Busse tradition.

Sure do remember Ted. Matter fact we had a MUCH used emoji of that very thing.

So how you holding up Ted? After buying a new short boom stick, holster and extra mags, I'm about tapped out unless Dan can use a kidney.

I remember what two weeks means. I go in and out of collecting brands and watching Busse now the market has changed. Their are a lot of knives in the consumer pool now. The secondary market has crashed and unless you have something super rare you cant even sell it for what you buy for anymore. The exchange has gone from a lightning fast quick draw to get what you want to a snail's crawl. It makes buying ones you are on the fence about a tough proposition.

I say this as a fan of the brand. I say this as I wait to see what the next offering is I could possibly spend my hard earned money on. They are just observations. I want to buy more and others do as well obviously. But teasing customers for 3 weeks with no new info is rough. I could care less if they show us a pic and give specs and wait 6 months to officially offer it, at least I know what I am waiting for. One could just adjust their buying habits to just watch the exchange and buy stuff below retail, that doesnt help keep people buying or moving the brand forward but it may already be an adapted strategy by some.

I love seeing stuff available in the store and wish all three brands had stuff available. I have bought two swamp offerings recently. Want to add more scraps to my arsenal now

If you sell at cost, it better have a sheath by a known maker with it


MM

also...

piics and specs


mm

again, also...

There could be some covid stuff goin down, sooooooooooooooooo



mm

Hmm still no updates?

Well, I received a shipping notice for my TRASH-2.

Dogs

The hounding has not let up...get it "Hounding".

Anyway let me add some clarity. New designs and prices that will drive the "Price To Performance Ratio" to a new level is coming your way.

Stay Tuned

Dan

Tuned and Staying.

Something like a JH-10, or KlinkHammer with a Res-C handle would be pretty sweet!

The YardHammer or a ScrapRaider would be sweet


MM

The the secondary market has changed a lot since I first got in. BUSSE using SR101 shanked it in many ways. While I have made a little money on blades there were custom shop and/or INFI or real old school collectors pieces I can’t even get my money out of any of the swamp rat knives I’m trying to sell with sheaths. Used to be a safe bet you could buy something and once in hand if you didn’t like it at least get out of it even or a very small loss/profit
I didn’t realize in the last 5 years how strongly the shift to high end folders was for many knife guys.

While I’m interested to see what’s coming I might not be buying.

I think the 2 big problems currently are the COVID economy (#1) followed by market saturation (#2). Compared to years ago, new Busse/kin models are released more often, and it is my opinion the market is flooded – couple that with an economy that went from boom to bust in a matter of a few months is NOT helping sales. I sold a bunch of Busse knives over the past 2 years – I made money on some and lost money on others. The popularity of a particular model means a lot when trying to sell one, along with the price you paid. Once COVID is under control (a good vaccine and better treatment options), I feel the economy will pick up (assuming the President will be reelected – God help us otherwise).

Staying tuned, although a photo or two would not hurt.

No TEASE

Full Specs and many awesome pics

and have Squatch post some testing videos


MM

^^^ Great suggestions!

So should the release be coated or satin finished?

Let me know your thoughts

Dan

My wallet says coated.


MM

I only need satin if its an EDC that I may food prep or eat with

DC finish for the compromise?

Can we get some green/brown/orange res-c options, pretty please?

Both choices sound good to me.

Yes.

and...



YES PLEASE!!!

Heck, just grind it out, heat treat it and get rid of the scale and call it good (well yeah, you would sharpen it of course). You COULD call it the SUL series, the Scrapyard Ugly Line! NO, no need to compensate me for the name. Just another service provided by your friendly helpful Mods. Just think of all the marketing opportunities.

Dan

Post photos of the blade in all finishes.

Its the only way to know for sure


MM

LOL<

^^^ I love it!

Check Check... is this mic on?

You may be pleasantly surprised at what you can get with a wallet that wont let go

Soon
Dan

Brilliant

Dan

Love your thinking...edge and all

Dan

I vote Busse Industrial Grade Satin Finish! I know that wasn't an option, but to me this finish is beautiful in an industrial kinda way AND begs to be used... would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this finally grace a Scrap Yard!

I'd also vote for competition finish or BIG Double Cut.... really ANYTHING but coated please!!!! Even pricey hand applied satin would be much better to me than coated... lol.

Okay, Okay... the coatings are not that bad... I am learning to be OK with them but I dislike just being OK with a knife that cost upwards of $100. I'd rather love it from top to bottom and wanna curl up in bed with it LOL.

Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard!

Actually I'm an old JYD, I just got locked out of my account and made a new one. Maybe somebody can help me recover the old one?

You need to send a message to Dan Busse; ever since the forum fiasco the Mods can't help as much as they used to.

Piiiiiiics N Speeeeeeeeeecs!!



MM

Yeah, what MM said!

I feel like this little Irish girl who just wants to go the PUB...

awesome. good to see bad [censored] knives still being offered here.

Good to hear from you again!

Hey tone, welcome back!

thanks guys, hopefully ill be able to post more often, its been a while. hope everyone is doing well. ill try to jump into death chat and do some catching up

It's been a month and a half now

But it only feels like 1-1/2 weeks.

You KNOW what "two weeks" means in Busse time!

Except Dan never said two weeks. Usually when they hint at a new one it's not but a couple days till we see a pic. Not like this is a chant wishing for a new model.

Since they all come out of Busse, the two weeks can apply to all the knives produced.

So it's time for a teaser pic.

No teasers just full pics n specs n Price



MM

^^^ That sounds good.

And....

???

Can't wait to see the mini-TW!

The Swamp has posted a teaser pic of what's next for them. Looks like something similar to the Eraticator, which I think is a great knife.;)

Dan
Is this chunk bigger than the Alpha Regulator?



MM

Is it bigger than a chef's knife but smaller than a Yugo?

Tom, they must have taken that pic down. I can't find it on "BF Swamp Rat" anywhere.

It's still there

https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/i-wish-you-could-see-what-i-saw.1747488/

Thank you Tom.

It's a saw back, or at least has the saw blade look. Not for me.

Looks like a saw-back Eraticator???

So it's been 2 months

If it has given them enough time to make an 1111 or 1311 into a saw back I'll get over it

I am not normally into saw-back blades, but the BattleSaw that Jerry delivered is a pretty awesome blade. I suspect that the new Swamp blade will be too.

They look cool, but I've never used one.
I just know I would end up in the ER.
I would need one with a TG style guard

MM

2 months 2 days..................Just say'in

The SawManDu ganza is next Wednesday.

I'm thinking the Yard has something else in the works since the newest rat is made from SR-77. Hmmmmmm... Mr. Dan, wanna give us some more insight? Inquiring minds and all.

I would be real happy if the regular 1111 made a comeback.

An Alpha Regulator 12 would be very nice too!

A/R 12 would be sweet

I'm hoping for a Scrap Raider or a Yard Hammer!

Lets get Hammered

MM

I say bring on the Bulldog Regulator!!!!! Or better yet, the Alpha Bulldog Regulator!!!!!!!!!

And since when did the Swamp steal the whole supply of SR-77???

Figured if I waited a few months, I'd be less disappointed with the wait time for a new offering

Well, Wednesday is the saw-backed MountainManDu for $398.00.

Yeah, I'd be a lot more excited if it was a regular Mountain-Man-du with no saw, coating or comp finish, and $150 cheaper Hopefully, that wasn't the big reveal Dan's been teasing us with for months now

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Stayin' aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--iiiiiiiiiiiii----iiiiiiiiiii----iiiiiiiiiiiive! WOOOOO! Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!

Just trying to keep this up to the top!

If a disco squirrel can't get Dan's attention, I don't know can!

Well, you can tell by the way I shake my tail
I'm a funky squirrel, and I'm all male!
Acorns ripe and nests all warm, I've been chased by hawks
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
I'm gonna run the other way
We can try to understand
Why digging gardens angers man
Whether you're a nutter or rolling in the gutter
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the tree branch breakin' and all our tails are shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

YhAaaaaand he’s back! Great to have you posting again Joshua. Hope you are doing better. Me, I have turned to the dark side. I’m now a Glock 48 fan boy.

Nothing wrong with a Glock!

Probably not, but it's still not a Sig

Thanks Randy! There's a reason my avatar is a squirrel. My attention shifts from one thing to the next at the drop of a hat. But yes, 6 months of being home was amazing. Last night--second night after coming home--my oldest saw me walk in and said "You ok dad? You look totally defeated!"

Yeah.... That about summed up how I felt. Just 10 more years...

Dan

We need it in hand by Nov 2!!


MM

Agreed

The sooner...the better!

HUNGRY


MM

Just smoked a brisket. Not really hungry now. Probably will be by be 02/NOV though...

Josh, I didn't know that they made Zig-Zag papers that big!

Zig Zag papers!?

Sweet reference, Boomer

MM

Yeah, well.............................................................................

Maybe Dan will offer a "Wavy Gravy" discount with the new release



MM

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK.

-sigh-

Maybe next week....




MM

Release the Steel!

^^^ Where did you get that picture of Ray???

Dan or Squatch

Is the blade straight or does it have a tasty recurve in it?


MM

Good question!

Hehe, I thought the same thing Tom. But DO NOT EVER, EVER EVER, try and smoke Sunflower seed husks. No, don't ask I'll only lie to you. I'm not sure how long the statute of limitations extend out.

AR 12 is STILL a good idea


MM

^^^ Yes, but because of the weight I would still prefer a .210 thickness of the blade.

I know at one pint Squatch had asked about how much wee like fullers and CBT.
So I think they will balance it right


MM

That would help for sure.

Hopefully this week

MM

LOL, It needs to be released soon. My wife is spending money like we have it.

I need it before Nov 2 or before the $ collapses...whichever is first


MM

*sigh*


Next week?

MM

I prefer acorn husks...

Actually, I prefer good shiny new steel in my paws...

^^^ There ya' go!

It's looking less and less like this will be in hand by Nov 2.

Nooooooooooo C'mon Yard !!!

Nov 4th is too late

MM

I guess I willl have to rely on my KlinkHammers!

Maybe this week...

MM

Hope springs eternal.

Another day down. We are sneaking up on 3 months now.

Kind of like a Scrap Satin?

Interesting

Dan

Soon Dogs, Soon

Keep an eye open for some performance videos that are almost completed

Keeping Squatch quite has been difficult LOL

Dan

The ASH1 came in 3 different thicknesses (actually 4 including the BG version), so I'm sure the AR-12 will have at least 2 or 3.

I'm not crazy about fullers, and I REALLY dislike CBT grooves.

Still waiting for the big chunk

The WS 1020 isn't the chunk is it?

Its sweet and would be a great Dog Bowl special with a Scrap Raider or Yard Seax


MM

Naw, by no metric is a 4 1/2 oz knife a big chunk. He's got something else he's working on.

Sounds good to me!

YES, YOU NAILED IT WITH SCRAP SATIN!!

BRAVO!! Been waiting a LONG time to find some SR-101 from Scrap Yard without a coating OR a high price hand applied satin job.

PERFECT, NOW PLEASE ALLOW THIS TO BE A REGULAR FINISH OPTION MOVING FORWARD!!

PP, in case no one has said it, WELCOME! We are a nice group of a well I’m not sure we are, but we’re a good group.

What Randy means to say is "We're something else!"


If they ever figure out what that is, exactly, they'll probably throw us all in quarantine...

Welcome!

And who the heck is PP, Randy???

Did you mean The Real Self or FAL'er and instead referred to the initials of their 'Pound Puppy" status?

Not new here, just haven't been around in years and got locked out of the old account. JYD #152 actually...

Glad you made it back.

DT, yeah meant The Real Self. Guess I need my eye surgery worse than I thought.

Well, welcome home!

Ditto

Dan

WS 1020 ordered!

Now ready for a BIG Chunk


MM

Are we looking at something in the 14-18" range? Maybe with a curved blade and Himalayan origins?

DT, one of them paired with a smaller blade of oh say about 4 inches and light weight on a piggyback sheath would be SWEET!!!

I do want something with a Tasty recurve and a Regulator handle.

14-18" may make it to blade heavy, but 11-12" at .22 with a fuller will make a sweet knife to pair with the WS 1020

a perfect package

MM

Mm, if I remember correctly, the Kukri length includes the handle. So, of you want a 5-6 inch handle you would need up to a 16 incher. But Dan has said that a kukri would waste to much steel for his performance to price point. That said, it would be really nice.

I have a Camp 10 paired with a robust folder piggyback and it is nice.

Yeah a 11-12" blade with a Reg handle so 16-17 or so overall.

Also Dan said no before, but they made the BB13 plus we a have a SQUATCH on our side now!

Also the excess can be used to make the Mini TW

I have a CS GK Plus, its great, but SR101 and Res-C would make it much better

MM

I would love to see a second run of the 1311...I missed it last time :((((

You could say that

Dan

That is the best line ever LOL

Dan

To the top, still waiting

Hmmmmmmmmmm Black Friday release?


MM

That WOULD make for a nice Thanksgiving treat!

Recurvulator

Sounds like it could be some sort of adult toy lol.

Well, technically, that describes EVERYTHING Dan sells...

Maybe this is going to be the million post "reward," and since it's so generous, Dan is doing a hand recount....

:

Oh no, yet ANOTHER recount!!!

Tom, no worries. This one WILL turn out fair and honest!

Exactly

Dan

Design is done for the most part...any idea what SR-101 weights?

Maybe oz's or pounds could help the Dogs better understand

Soon Dogs Soon!!!

I'm READY!!!

We could use another sword, what with the country changing hands.

More like a "Ma Deuce"!

True Tom, but they aren’t as maneuverable. (I’ve been reading Sun Tsu) again. Hit and run in small groups. They will waste time and resources preparing for what may never come, nor where they expect.

Great choice in reading materials!

The 1 5 pound Squatch Kukri

or The Scrap Raider @ 1 pound 4 oz

MM

OH, Dan you TEASE!!!

I will check back in a few months, I'll probably miss it by then... but I've already been checking back for months now... and I don't really have it in me to keep getting my hopes up anymore every time I check and see nothing.

Here is the version I settled on. Sorry but I don’t know how to copy my Amazon order of this (Kindle) version without all my info showing up.
Yes, I am technologically challenged.

The Only Award-Winning English Translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War: More Complete and More Accurate Fourth Edition
by Sun Tzu (Author), Gary Gagliardi (Author, Translator)

I have 3 or 4 versions of Sun Tzu's the Art of War. The literal translation is my favorite. It's brief and to the point. The Prince by Machiavelli is also a solid read (brief) if you get a chance.

thats what I am hoping for, when they first rolled the Alpha Reg out they did say eventually it would be a regular offering so it does make sense and fingers are crossed.

I can only get behind this if there is no hugegungous choil, that thing really kills it for me... something along the lines of the W.S. 1020 or 1311/1111 would be great. Usable but not obtrusive in the least...

Of course, I would HAVE to have it in Scrap Satin also... but yeah.... no big choil for this guy. Skip the choil altogether and it would be my favorite large knife of all, the handle is that good... especially if it were more like an Alpha Regulator 11 or 12.

I think you will like it

Dan

Good to hear!

MM

To the top.....

Dan, can we get a pic or say overall length? It is almost Christmas

Not bad playing the Santa card LOL

Dan

I gotta try


Just posted this on my facebook page. The amount of folks who posted congrats is killing me. My grandma even called me on the phone lol. It's a great laugh, happy Friday Dan and the rest of you Dogs!



WELL.. it's OFFICIAL!!!

We have some amazing, yet shocking news.... We're expecting!!!!! 5 weeks ish today!!! We weren't going to post it on facebook, but since you are all our family and close friends, we thought this was the best way to share the news!!! We were just too happy to keep this secret any longer!!! Can you believe it???? We're expecting Santa in just 5 weeks!!! We can't wait until he arrives &#128514;&#128514;&#128514;&#128514;

Bump for the pending news & pics from Dan.


Good fun rg!

Congrats rock golfer. Please send him my way next give him a hint about a ws1020 for my stocking too !

Doubble bump for a teaser pic !!!!!!

Congrats R/G! Your world is about to change for the better.

Make sure you read it all the way to the end

Wow, that's awesome.... you just made my week Dan! Would it be too much to ask for an option on the handles? Seriously, it sounds like a silly little bit of unnecessary price point addition to add in these options... but to me (and likely others out there) at this point it's virtually a deal breaker if black is the only option.

I mean, let's face it... we've come a LONG way since the Ford Model - T (you can have ANY color you want, AS LONG AS IT'S BLACK!). By no means would I expect multiple color options as regular offerings (considering your Price/Performance ratio), but just to have ANY color OTHER than black would be amazing.

You see, as much as I might like to pretend I am a super spooky ninja that disappears in the shadows.... this has never been true. These days, I am much more concerned about my knife disappearing in the folds of my clothing!! Therefore, black sticks out like a sore thumb (I wear white/gray/khaki). Tan works great tho!

As another note, I just do not like black as a color.... in fact black is NOT a color. Shocking, I know, right??? It is in fact ALL of the colors AT ONCE!! This obviously makes for a very chaotic arrangement, which is not desirable in something as highly refined and meticulously crafted as we all know Scrap Yard knives to be!

Therefore, I beg upon you, Dan.... PLEASE hear my humble plea to grant us mere Mortal Mutt's the option to choose a SINGLE color for a knife handle BESIDES black. I believe a reasonable compromise for another color would be something neutral and earth toned... sage (tan), light olive (green), brown... A La Mud Mutt!

Just throwing it out there... id take a RES C HANDLED SCRAPIZASHI .. if nobodys mentioned that yet shame on you all.

Even in poo brown handle option only .. even if it slightly smelled poopy....

But maybe make a cpl other colours for @The_Real_Self too

I think we could do without the smell.

Brown handle with bronze coated blade, yes please!

Are

We

There

Yet???

I hope we're getting closer!

Me too Brother!

Dan must feel like hes on a road trip and were all in the backseat going ... "aree we thheeerree yeeeeeet?"

Is it here yet...?

How much lonnggerr ???!!!!

How about now ??

A teaser pic, wouldn't be out of order.
Something obscure, give us something but not too many somethings.

July 4th is the start of the thread. We have been checking back in and begging for 6 months now for more info. I cant even get it for Christmas now, cant bring in the new year with a new scrapper toy to play with. 2020 has sucked and we have been holding onto this little ray of sunshine only to be let down by this year once again. Busse and the swamp have put out a handful of blades combined since this thread started. We really do need to fend for ourselves around the dog bowl.

Did I sound like one of my kids making a scene? It's what I was going for

Well, the Yard DID release the WS-1020, but it's certainly NOT a "big chunk of SR-101". Jerry is releasing the "P&L Statement" knife tomorrow, so I imagine the production lines will be working on those. So, I guess it will be a while longer.

Have to supplement the addiction with used market goods.. cpl scrappers and the WS i just picked up will add up to a big chunk of 101 when piled together ..

There you go!

Sooner the better... winter's comin' and wood needs a choppin'!!!

Right on Brother!

O.K. Now I need this one in my hands by Jan 5th 2021


MM

Certainly by Jan 20, when it all goes South. I think MO. needs to join the other 9 2A sanctuary states.

Randy, be glad with where we live.

Oh I am Tom. I know it could be a lot worse. Just look at poor ole MB..

LOL, I'm rectifying the issue sooner than later.

120 weeks, 21 hours, 37 minutes and 33..32..31..30... for me!

It’s a great way of life MB, trust me. As the old commercial said, “Try it you’ll like it”. Y’all are gonna like it.

LOL, I used to have it here. The slow creep over the past 15 years killed it. My states a lost cause but. I think I'll be happy wherever we move next.

Yup, hopefully there Y’all will be safe and secure from “Them”.

And with a much happier attitude.

Brrrr...Gettin' Colder Dan....





...ahem....Res-C...







....just sayin'.

I'm happy where I live. I just want about 60% of the people gone


MM

Being from the southeast part of the state, we’re pretty safe (so far) from the PDS (poor demented souls ) of St. Louis and Kansas City. So far we aren’t doin to bad. And with Missouri being a Constitutional carry state, we’re way ahead of others.

Yes, it is definitely good to be where we are.

Or a Battle Grade Yard Hammer


MM

Any chance of getting a Sneak Peek for Christmas?

It'll be like shaking the box under the tree.

Is it here yeeeet?!

Howabout now ?

Ok ok ill check back in 20 mins....

One laast check before the 20 min mark ??

MEGA

KDSH

Whoever stated that request first maximum respect to a genius thoght btw !

Scrapizashi*** kdsh for the other forums whoops!!

Its Christmas eve, we always get one present on Christmas eve!

BIG THICK AND WRAPPED IN RES C PLEASE

Well after 6 months of checking in and checking in I think I am leaving this site back in 2020. Time to bring in the new year with a new focus. If I see something pop up on bladeforums that catches my eye I'll reevaluate if I want it then.

Hope yall have a happy 2021 and all your knife dreams come true in 2 weeks.....well in this case a most ridiculous 6 months

Jeff

Jeff, stick around, if for nothing else than to see Randy and I pick at each other!

I'll poke in from time to time I'm sure. I am just getting rid of the always open tab at the end of the evening. I am going to focus on learning to make knives next year instead of buying more I dont need

Especially when we get teased for 6 months. The small 1020 or whatever was teased for a day or two and boom we see it. That's how it should be. I just feel like I have wasted my time checking back in for no reason. I wrote the shop asking for an email if they had an extra bronze trash2 and never got a reply, just to watch people get them in grab bags. This company ain't the same anymore and the fan base has left. Just telling it like it is. Doesnt change how much I love the knives I have, just where I spend my money in the future. Busse needs to change up their marketing and bring some life back into the forums. It's kinda sad you cant even sell a new one for what you bought it for anymore.

For me its gonna have to be something unique that nothing else i have can fulfill.

The WS 1020 was thin and we've been asking for years for something like it, now we need a
Scrap Khuk

MM

I amVERY happy with my WS1020. The ONLY criticism I have is iI wish it was a full .125-130 inch. Other than that it just about as good as it can get.

Whadda ya mean pick at each other ya EX-JARHEAD!

When I first got into Bussekin I was at the beginning of my prepper phase. With lockdowns it was the "take my health and fitness serious" phase. Next year will be a more political/community building phase. I don't think they are really phases, but I have my BOB and I stayed home. My health will be a daily focus and the community building will be more than a phase. I don't trust any politician at this point.

Good luck with your new focus

MM

Randall, did you fall out of your Chair Force chair and bump your head???

Must have. I am walking sort of unbalanced these last couple months. And considering the change coming up in 19 days I ordered a new cane for when I can’t carry a gun or a knife.

It’s a Cane Masters Every Day Carry cane Plus. Yeah I know, but how do you put a price on something that might help protect you or even save your life.
https://canemasters.com/cane-master-canes/custom-walking-canes/everyday-carry-cane-plus

My state has a wonderful law that prohibits the carrying of a bludgeon, billy or any type of a Kung-fu weapon. It appears that a Cane Master could be interpreted to fall under that classification and a person can be arrested and the court would have to make a determination. Cane Master canes are distinctive enough that I’m not going to wager that a LEO wouldn’t know about them. Good for you that your state is not as oppressive as mine.

Some states still allow freedom.

Since I have a bum knee and recently have an occasional need fora cane. I took a crookneck hickory cane and clipped the rounded end of the crook for more of a pointed edge. It works just like it did before but it is more useful for grabbing and locking limbs and joints. It's a pretty decent unarmed tactic.

I know it is kinda nuts to pay that much but we all have things we like. At last count I have 7 canes and 5 “hiking” staffs. Oh and I have one hickory 5 ft tall cane I got at a flea market. It’s really nice.

I don't think it's nuts at all. Quality, costs. Especially if it's a specialty item.

That doesn’t mean anything in this state since the authorities can say it is a weapon as well as a cane. That is the reason I cannot carry a sword cane or an umbrella cane even if is an actual cane or umbrella.

Missouri is a little different . Like you can carry virtually any “pocket” knife as long as the blade is under 4 inches. BUT, you can nit carry ANY fixed blade concealed.

The last time I carried my Cold Steel sword cane was on a trip to the VA when I severely twisted my knee. The doctor noticed it, and when I said that it was the only cane I owned he got me one of the nicer metal ones. The CS cane has a wickedly sharp point.

We cannot carry concealed any blade longer than 3” whether fixed or golfing. We can open carry carry a fixed blade of any length. I have carried a Mauser bayonet while surf fishing because sometimes I caught sharks. I have also carried a sword in the city at times when I was participating in a ceremony but my Civil War unit was part of the National Guard.

For a fact, there are some crazy knife laws out there.

Big Chunk update?


MM

California has great knife laws as a state. You can carry ANY length folding knife either open or concealed carry. You can carry ANY length fixed blade knife open carry on your belt. You cannot carry any length fixed blade concealed. Switchblades made in CA with a blade 2" or less are legal.

Now, big urban centers have additional laws that you would expect from CA, but the rural areas are pretty good. Sacramento oddly enough doesn't have any extra laws above the state laws. There used to be a legally blind guy who would go for walks carrying a katana. People would call the cops on him all the time and they'd tell them that unless he was brandishing it there wasn't anything they could do.

Of course there was an odd loophole in Sacramento laws that allowed one to be naked on sidewalks and streets, but not parks or yards.

I always found this a problem when trying to conceal knives.

I awlays wanted to ask why our guns laws are trash but our knife laws are cool.. I figure people would say "You're right!" and screw up our knife laws.


MM

Sometimes it's better to leave sleeping dogs lie.

Agreed!

Except for Dan!

Where is my Chunk 'o' SR101!!!!!?????


MM

Good point!

You just aren't thinking creatively enough

The design, fit and finish is so cool. Wait till you see my mad dog skills!!!

Dan

Almost here

Dan

So is the CupidGanza!

THATS NOT a sheath!

MM

Cool!

I'm gonna pass on the Ganzaa so I can get a Res-C beasty!!

MM

Unless they sneak a Yard offering in with the Ganza. ;0

Then I'll be all over it!

MM

Probably pass on this one. I am bidding on a Weatherby 12ga pump just like my other ones, the PA-459 TR. I will have 20 and 12 both covered. Self shuckers and Manuel in both gauges if I win it on Gun brokers.

M/M, the last time I looked at Jerry's thread I saw a Sykco or two in the mix!

M/M, check out 6C, 13B, and 18C for Yard knives; there are also some Swamp Rat offerings.

Those are all nice

I will say the Klinkhammers look REALLY tasty!


hmmmmmmmmmm


MM

Jerry has posted a link with the pricing.

Lets see the Chunk, please!!

MM

Well, Dan. You have me salivating, don't you think it's about time to throw us that steak now?

Good question!

Well I was hoping it would be up for sale this Wednesday...


MM

That ganzaa has some cool ones forsure.. pricing on the ones id actually use were very reasonable too.. guess cerakote isnt a huge cost to add esp when theres already a huge batch going through the works . I say roll through the existing models again.. but with coloured res c options if possible.. OH DAN .. maybe you could tie us over with some morale patches perhaps " f@#% covid, i survived the sykco massive wait 2020/21" ... or a sykco dog lanyard bead ! Only seen the rat and hog..

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!



MM

MM after your dedication to this thread and patience.. i truly hope its a blade that appeals to you !!!

Looks like we will be waiting still longer for that "Big Chunk of SR-101".

I received an email saying the Scrapyard WS-221 is coming Wednesday and I thought for sure it was going to be our big chunk of steel... I couldn’t have been more wrong

Now warder, if you were say an ant, or a grasshopper, or even a dung beetle, it would be a big chunk. It’s all relative.

Hadn't seen an Email from Busse in a minute or two.

Ooouch what a tease that email was...

*sigh*

Clearly we can expect a massive SR-101 Seax companion blade to go along with the MS-221...

I'm game for waiting some more if that's what is in store for us, heck Dan you can save it to Christmas and I'd be HAPPY!

Which Christmas???

Dan

Hope i dont have to wait as long as its taken to see santa in action... 32 years later still no confirmation.

So when I deliver my name becomes Dumpster Santa Dan?

Dan, when you deliver we will call you whatever youd like !

Nothing like Christmas in February!!

(2021)

MM

I could have some real fun with this

Dan

Tyin to cover all the bases. Dan DID say a big ole chunk.



OR Dan could put 3 flared SS tubes through the handle. Just space the holes out evenly and everybody would be happy.

Dan = selling more blades.
David Browm = selling more sheaths
Us Dogs = getting a Very necessary blade considering that Edged Weapons will be all that well is gonna be accessible to all us Deplorables now that “They” control everything.

Heck Dan, just a regulator Handle might work. Just prototype one up and see how it handles.

Shucks, just send the prototype to me and I’ll give it a good honest workout and let ya know how it feels. Shoot just let me know and I’ll pay the shipping fees!

Us Mods is here to help YOU out as well when you’re stuck in a creative rut.

You’re welcome

Skunk

P. S. ** Notice I changed the blade to 20-22 inches.

I still want a res c steering wheel cover.

^^^ I need a new truck to go with that steering wheel cover.

Do like Ray Tom. Hire The General out. I mean we know she can cook.

Good idea!

Squatch

I'm not sure I can pull it off but push me hard for some kind of picture

Dan

You're asking a Squatch for a clear photo of something?

I will make NO comment on that one.

You have a dirty mind, lol. I only wanted a peak at that 'BIG CHUNK' already, some people...

Well, you know Randy ....................................................:)

Dan just needs Squatch to take help him take a photo of the Chunk



MM

You know it's been so long since this thread started, are we waiting on pics of a 'Big Chunk' or a 'Big Hunk? Who can really say anymore.... maybe somebody can sort this out soon with some pics.

Did you ask for a Hunk with a Chunk.?

^^^ A true "golden oldie"!!!

Awesome.

That's the REAL Randy, and on a good day no less!

Hehe, Patty had me walking down the street one block over from the University. Then a member (active duty Marine) who works in (public Relations)? Took the pic and worked his magic. He is also the one that put the plunger on the rifle in my avatar. He did one wher the plunger actually shot then reappeared and shot again over and over. Alas that one was lost.

Once again, thank the Marines!!!

Yeah yeah yeah...

Just saying .................

And rightfully so ( now I need to wash my mouth out with soap)

Specs?


*NOT the blade*

MM

Well since you asked, big boy, 6ft now 240. Oh and the knife is the 1311 with my JYD number on it. Oh and I am happily married.

Lol! I said "NOT the blade"

MM

Scary, huh?!!?

When did Jason ever do what someone expected?

When his victims saw him, he killed them.

Good point. I’ll have to remember for when...

SBD. Silent But Deadly, and I ain’t talking about flatulence. (You like that big word, I looked it up)

SO just spitballing here....

If the WS 221 is a chopped down version of the WS 1020 with seax blade profile... what if the big chunk were in fact a 1311 or 1111 chopped down with the seax profile tip? Basically the same as what Busse did with the Forsaken Battle Mistress to make their recent Seax... can you confirm this DAN???

Oh man. Just saw the ganza blades. That team Gemini m2 (6C) looks kinda like a skunk. If only I was rich I would have me one.

I really hope its not a sucks.. i mean seax .. seax suck sorry to the dogs who love them.

Why do you feel this way? Not judging, just curious as I've never had one but it's something that's held my interest for years now.

I find a seax interesting; it's like a cleaver with a sharp point. The Busse seax was well done.

Actually that blade style is supposed to be a great “fighting” blade. Unlike a conventional blade, the Seax won’t slide out of the cut but slice all the way to the tip. So says “the experts”.

They seem to have served the Vikings quite well.

This was my understanding, that it was meant purely for fighting. Your description makes a lot of sense, I know blades that have a curve or belly can definitely do this. How much of a difference it makes may be semantics, but it's a nice idea.

JUST a guess on my part, but it could make up to an inch deeper slicing cut over a conventional type blade. In THINK Michael Janice (?) designed the Yojimbo as a Seax type blade for that reason.

Just did a fact check, yup.

You guys bring up alot of good facts and points for. I really think its just a personal opinion on my part, my comment was mostly sarcasm and always fun to spark up the topic with some debate, except i totally agree with you all haha. I like them on smaller kitchen knives .. but im a clipped point bowie guy.. curves the wrong way on a big seax for my tastes lol.

I'm a clipped point Bowie guy myself, but I can also appreciate the seax.

T88, yeah when you talk Bowie to Tom, specially BIG Bowies he has to change his name to Woody!

??? You got me there Randy.

There was a drummer named Woody in David Bowie’s band. Randy is up in the stratosphere again.

David Bowie was weird. I liked some of his songs though.

He made a western movie and was actually pretty good in it, starring along with Harvey Kietel. I believe he took the name Bowie due to his admiration for James Bowie. I'm just not familiar with his band.

No pics?

No specs?


MM

Next week?



MM

LOL, we are sneaking up on 8 months.

Busse & kin 2 weeks never changes.

ZzZzzZzz

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...




MM

More of a hybernating zZzZzz than a snooze forsure..

Reminds me how sleepy I am...

I hear ya brother. Been going since 7 this morning and just sat down about 5 minutes ago. I am whupped.

It WOULD be nice to see that "big chunk of SR 101.

*Tik Tok*

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


MM

Exactly.......NOT

Oh the fun of it all

Dan

Not quite yet...but check out the DB-321 its sizable for SR-101

Dan

If the DB-321 isn't the big one, I'll hold off a while longer. If I buy just one knife this year, it needs to be big and sassy.

I agree. The MO'Nique of blades


MM

Patiently waiting

Very patiently

Sort of patiently

You get to keep your money a little while longer before sending it to Busse.

It's been 9 months. LOL, shouldn't this blade baby have been born already?

You would certainly think so.

Could we have another Run of the 1311...I missed it Back then bc i wasnt to much online at the time....

The 1311 IS a nice choice.

Looking forward to this...

Dan
Its past due

time to induce labor on this one

MM

Good idea.

Mr. Dan, I must say it is a torture to keep us waiting for so long without even a small preview off what's coming! At least some specs? Over 10'' blade? Over .30 thickness?

I wouldn't expect much until after Sunday's ganza.

Time for the BIG CHUNK!!!!!!!




MM

Check out this link guys.

https://youtu.be/CZsNvNKFAH8

I did!!!

WHAT’S THE SPECS?

That's what we ALL want to know!

Man this post aged well. A year later I could have bought it but wasnt around. Just cant keep checking a site for a year to see what the thing they wont tell us is. Oh well, life goes on

If you subscribe to the emails youll get the notifications

They go to my spam unfortunately and I cant figure out how to change it. Oh well, once in a blue moon I catch it just right amd the rest of the time I spend my money on other knives lol

Aw bummer !!
