My first and second Busses

[jupiterjazz71]

1st: Mr. Mojo. 2nd: BAE Well, I join "Ad"'s thread today; bought mine from Andre as well, before the rush was on. Actually, I studied the matter via the Busse website, so I felt somewhat comfortable deciding, but nothing beats the "look and feel" of the real things in your hand, gotta say.

Question: Didn't know, but there are variations on a theme? i.e. the Combat Grade may be black crinkle coated, but the "flats"? are either satin or black or just old models/by request? I guess the current ones also have the Busse logo (unless you specify when ordering not to?) Finally, a nit, the holes on the handle, are the insides supposed to also be crinkle coated or shiny from being drilled after being coated? My BAE is crinkle coated and the Mr. Mojo is drilled/uncoated.

JJ,
Welcome to the Busse Forum and the Wonderful World of Busse. Congratulations on your new Blades, what a great 2 to start with.

Stick around you will enjoy it here.

BTW, now the hard part starts, deciding which one is next.

Welcome jupiterjazz71. Congrats on your new addiction

Sometimes there seems to be a little variation on the finish that Busses have. For the most part, the new blades are all coated with the crinkle style finish. There may very well be some new models with the older, non-crinkle finish. I've only seen a few of the first run Ergos (NO, SH, and BMs) with the old finish, but you never know what might show up at the table
Whether or not the Talon holes are drilled, cut, or coated is just another one of the quirks that makes each Busse a little different Kind of like if they're skinned down around the handle. Mine all seem to be coated, but are not all crinkled. Maybe there are some differences in the way the finish cures in the holes????
