The Busse SARsquatch is one of the most iconic models in the Busse Combat Knife Company’s lineup, a direct expression of the design philosophy developed by Jerry Busse: maximum reliability, uncompromising construction, and proven performance in the field.

This specific 2008 Special Edition version stands out for its less common configuration, lacking a protective coating. A choice that at the time favored a more “bare and functional” approach, now particularly appreciated by the most experienced enthusiasts.

For many collectors and users, the SARsquatch represents one of those models that, during its production run, were difficult to find and even harder to purchase. An iconic piece from an era when Busse operated with limited availability and extremely high demand.

At the heart of the SARsquatch is the famous INFI steel, a proprietary alloy developed in-house by Busse, the specific composition details of which have been deliberately kept confidential over time.

In practice, INFI is recognized for: High resilience, suitable for intensive and heavy-duty use; Corrosion resistance superior to the average for non-stainless steels; Good edge retention, with ease of maintenance.

These qualities have helped build the brand’s reputation, making Busse models practical tools for real-world use.

This SARsquatch model is aimed at an audience that understands the value of the Busse project and the context in which it was born. It is not a pristine “collector’s item,” but an authentic knife, true to its operational nature.

It represents a tangible opportunity for those who, in the 2000s, followed the brand and appreciated its products but were unable to easily acquire them: today, it is possible to purchase an original piece, with a distinctive configuration and a history already written, ready to continue being used.

The SureFire EW-06 Delta Fixed Blade is a rare and highly distinctive fixed-blade knife, designed as a lightweight yet extremely rugged combat/utility tool, built to handle virtually any mission. A model that combines high-quality materials, functional design, and a surprising integration of multi-purpose tools directly into the knife’s frame.

One of the most interesting features of the Delta EW-06 is the integration of several practical tools directly into the frame:
* Self-adjusting hex wrench (1/2“ to 13/64”)
* Integrated wire cutter capable of cutting wire up to 12-gauge
* Cable cutter / flex-cuff cutter, also useful in military or law enforcement contexts
* Belt or rope cutter on the back of the handle
