Hey guys, so I have always been familiar with the Busse brand and I have had a few SYKCO knives but I haven't personally owned a Busse yet.

With that being said it seems to me that we have some differences in BTE not only by era/ year but also (of course) by model.

So I'm looking for a Busse in infi with a 9+ " blade with an uncoated blade, full tang, and a factory edge that hopefully is around what... .040? Or less?

Is that realistic? Somebody school me here on what to look for here.
 
The thin mountainmandu's are easily that or lower. Flat ground blade is over 2 inches wide and 3/16 thick I think.

From the original release thread for the thinner MMD in December, 2017:

This will be the last OP2W Offer Of 2017!!! :eek::eek::eek:

. . . . We will resume OP2W in January, 2018!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

The MountainManDu is one of Swamp Rat's legendary models. We have taken this design to the next level with much thinner stock (.220" vs. .280"), a Full-Height Flat Grind instead of the standard sabre grind, and the option to get it in INFI ! ! ! ! :eek: :D :cool: :D

These changes make this MountainManDu much lighter and faster than all previous versions! :thumbsup:

The SR-77 Version is Very Limited and will NEVER be offered again!:eek:

Best of luck to all who go for the score, :thumbsup:

Jerry :D

I am thinking about it but I'm also talking to my people to see about some trading so I'm not sure if I'll be selling to make this happen or trading but I sure as heck know that during this season my fun budget is gone haha.

I'm kind of eyeballing this guy on Arizona Custom Knives but idk about BTE so 🤷‍♂️
