Is this the genuine article?

I just purchased a 4.4" " Busse" folding combat knife. I bracketed Busse as upon follow up I don't see any on my search. Did I purchase a knock off? Or have they backed off to just fixed blades?

I have to see pics of this.

Edit: Second thought Im not sure of the rules on posting knock off pictures. Don't listen to me.

Busse does not make folders, to my knowledge... I would love to see pics, though...

The Rat Trap by Swamp Rat is the only production Busse folder.

Cuz he's acting like one and has few posts.

The Talon hole is not round, strange

Rat trap and the Cubera are the only two Busse folders I am aware of. The first is more common and the later is an absolute epic score if you found one!

Someone might have had that one made from a SAR blade maybe?



Either way, we needs one don't we!

I probably stopped after a similar event asking advice but had the pleasure of listening to someone like you.

Wow I have a crazy Idea now about taking one of my DC Park Rangers and seeing if it would fit between a Hinderer XM-24 frame and scale after grinding off the handle then milling holes for the bolts to fit. No I'm not going to do this though.

I personally don't like folders and never understood the desire for a Busse folding knife but to each their own.
Don't want to share the link and I know none of you would fall for these but have you guys seen this shit. They have a bunch of this knockoff crap.

Yea that's comical at best HAHA! Great box and piece of bullsht literature- but it's so bad it's just hilarious! btw, is that Jerry wearing Ho-chi-men sandals just under the "metric" ruler???? I don't think so~ everyone knows hogs only have 2 toes soup sandwich man- great comic piece

No problem. When someone asks, it is usually because they don't know and need help, regardless of how long they have been on here. Heck, I ask questions all the time and I have been here for a few years.

I'd buy that just to take it to blade and show it off to Jerry

There’ve been several fixed blade Busses converted to folders shown here over the years. Judging by the logo, ricasso and talon hole, I would guess this is probably one of them, or a similar conversion. Who knows though?
