* Provenance: Acquired from a private individual; previously purchased and used
* Condition: Structure intact, no functional compromises, fully operational and ready for use. Presence of surface oxidation and signs of aging, consistent with the untreated finish.

These elements reinforce its technical character and ensure its longevity.

* Sharpening: Professionally resharpened
* Blade Markings: Surface oxidation and signs of aging
* Handle Markings: None

* Inspected and Certified by our in-house laboratoryThe 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.

A brief history of the brand
Kanetsune is a brand of Kitasho Co., Ltd., based in Seki, a Japanese city historically known as the “City of Cutlery.” The company officially dates back to 1964, with family roots in knife manufacturing and trade going back to the 1930s. The name Kanetsune is traditionally associated with a renowned master bladesmith of the Muromachi period, underlining its strong connection to Japanese forging heritage.
Use and maintenance advice
The Blue Steel Damascus blade requires care: after use, it is recommended to wash by hand, dry immediately, and apply a light protective oil layer during storage or use in humid environments. Avoid dishwashers and prolonged contact with water or aggressive substances. The samegawa provides a natural, secure grip, enhancing handle stability even with wet hands.
Why choose this knife
The Kanetsune Shinobi KB-209 is not just a knife, but an object with a strong identity: 15-layer Damascus Blue Steel for a distinctive cutting edge, a traditional handle with samegawa and cord for control and authenticity, and a Japanese-style wooden sheath for elegant presentation.

Note:-Characteristics of San Mai Maple: These are different types of metals combined to create a composition that contains and intensifies the resistance of the metals individually:
- Mayor vida útil del filo
Thanks to the use of very high quality maples with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core of the plate (Core Steel), the heat, once templada, has a hardness and a Decidedly superior court performance. which were achieved with the use of traditional maple trees.- Mayor resilience
Built according to the principle of Japanese swords, the multi-headed maple is difficult to break thanks to the hardness of the central maple (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the maple used for the lateral covering (Stainless Steel).- Better resistance to corrosion
The maple used for the external caps (Stainless Maple) guarantees the house a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves resistance to corrosion, including in the steel.- Easy processing including after heat treatment
Although the maple is normally hardened after the tempering, the lateral maple used in the multi-head process does not become softer and allows for easy mechanicalization, cutting or soldering even after the heat treatment. For optimal health performance, cryogenic treatment is recommended.- Improved aesthetic result
The cuchillos made with multi-layered maple or with damask pattern are aesthetically elegant, refined and much appreciated by collectors around the world at the end of the manufacturing process.For more information: collinsteel
