my take on big busse style

**Robevs73** · 26-09-10, 06:17 PM

Heres my take on a busse battle mistress it has a 10 1/2" Blade 1/4" thick flat grind with a secondary bevel, green micarta handle with grey and red liners and 3 stainless loveless bolts, I decided to make this knife over a year ago but its been on the back burner for a while, I have 2 busses knives , a basic 9 and a FFFBM, the basic is to light and the BM is far to heavy and the handle is awful so I made this for myself. Hope you like it (I do!!!)

That looks like it will do the job Rob , what steel did You use ?

I love the idea of Busse's, great steel but personally found the proof wasnt in the pudding where handles came into it .

Its made from boring old '01' to 58rc mate. I sold the to Busses I had of you last year, handles were terrible, I think th FFFBM will be up for sale or trade now this one's made. They are far to hyped up in my opinion.

Looks bomb-proof and the sheath looks superb too.

Don't like Busse knives, but that is a cracking job you've done Rob!

Cracking job on both knife and sheath Rob, handle shape looks far more comfy and usable than the busse handles

Make another, i want one

Superb mate they look like the ideal hard use camp knife!

Nice looking knife mate. Like the lanyard hole at the front and near the spine, looks very handy I presume it's for the comp style of lanyard use? Nice sturdy looking sheath to. well done all round.
