Ok, all you Leather Sculptors and Kydex benders out there, let's see what you've done for YOUR Tali-Whackers.

Personally I was wondering about a nice pancake style leather lined piece of plastic set up to accept a tech-lok.

I already had a couple of sheaths I made for other knives, but fit my T/W's.

Mine hasn't arrived but I received the shipping notice today!

To me at least, this is the best feeling, best handling larger blade Dan has eve made. The balance is crazy dead on, about a 1/4 inch in front of the handle. Well you can read what I said in the Tali-Whacker thread I started.

I thought that it was odd looking, but I must admit that it feels just right. As noted above, the balance is so good that it makes the knife feel "light" in hand. Natural-born fighter.

For anyone that may not know the history of the Tali-Whacker, here it is.

Talking about history, here it is.

Tali-Whacker Original issue

One of the RAREST of all Busse Military Knives . . .OVER RUN!!!!!!! .

This is a very unusual knife. It has never been SOLD before. We made them right after September 11th. This is the Tali-Whacker. It was made as part of a run of knives we donated to USSOCOM after 9/11 for distribution to our Special Ops Teams. Several of these were presented to soldiers who had been wounded in combat while the rest were given to our front-line troops. This is an “operator” only blade and the ones that were distributed were in the “sterile” condition with no markings whatsoever. A numbered Patriot tag was shoved into the front pouch with a letter explaining a little about the name, “Tali-Whacker” meaning “Taliban-Whacker”. We had an over run on these blades and are now clear to sell the surplus.

The Tali-Whacker was the first model EVER made out of SR-101 and it came along well before the inception of SWAMP RAT. It is the ONLY Busse Combat Blade made with SR-101 and a totally Sterile Resiprene C handle. The talon hole was removed as were all markings from the handle for Complete Sterility. The “coolness” of this blade was the inspiration behind Swamp Rat.

It is 1/4" thick with a 6 3/4" long blade and is 12" OAL.

We only have 68 Tali-Whackers available. They will come with an non-serial numbered Patriot Tag and are only available without the sheath.

Tali-Whackers are $238.95. They come with one non serial-numbered patriot tag

WOW, 12 years ago. $238.95 and today (special $198.95) Who says there has been inflation! wink

Heck, even if you paid the full $258.95 that is only 20 dollars over the original offering price 12 years ago!
