Mine came in. Catch and release though. Nice blade like Randy pointed out, but I won't use it and don't want safe queens

I added this to the original post I made but here it is again for all you Dogs that may wonder about the "Feel" when sharpening this blade.
One thing I noticed while honing the edge just a bit is when you get to the Transition point at the sweep is you will feel a sort of a bump as you are sharpening. This is nothing more than where they went from one grind to the other and is nothing to worry bout. Just sharpen as normal and you will be OK.

My Tali-Whacker is here! Very nice. The handle is comfortable. The only flaw is that it is too nice to use.

I think you will be very happy with it. BTW, some one was asking if the Spec ops sheath will fit. The large one does.

Glad to hear you got a Tali there. I do miss my original Tali at times but since it was a safe queen that did not get used I decided to move it on to a former active Marine that was in need of a Tali. Do I wish I could get a new Tali, yes I do. Am I going to get one, no I am not. There are a few things keeping me from getting the new Tali. 1) The blade does not fit into any role that I would use it for, I am not going to be knife fighting and IF I am, it will be a Kill Devil Hawk. 2) The blade will work for most things, but it is a master of none so it would sit more than being used. 3) With a new son, and wife not working the funds have all but dried up so there is no go for a blade that will be used once in a while.
I am happy that the Busse brought the Tali out for re-release because so many people are now getting the chance to see why the original was sought after. You guys enjoy!
Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust

I am impressed with the Taliwacker. I've owned around 30 Busse and kin and this one is a keeper. Positives: It has a perfect handle, satin finish, light weight and good looking. Negatives: haven't figured that one out yet. In hand it feels like it weighs the same as a war dog. It's light enough you'll carry it. I like it more than the TGLB which is a similar sized knife. I think its sized right for a pig hunting/zombie slaying knife. I like it's thinner stock and think it would be hard to damage the tip even with hard use. It would handy to carry in the woods for those who like a longer blade. Homerun.
