Busse Combat - SARsquatch 2008 Special Edition - INFI Steel & Raptor Micarta - PRIVATE COLLECTION - Knife
KNIFE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED, FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
* 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. The absence of a coating has allowed, over the years, the development of a natural patina and signs of oxidation that attest to the authenticity of its use. These elements reinforce its technical character and ensure its longevity.
* Commercial Availability: Discontinued
* Sharpening: Professionally resharpened
* Blade Markings: Surface oxidation and signs of aging
* Handle Markings: None
* Box: /
* Sheath: Handcrafted Kydex, made specifically for this knife
* Manuals, Certificates, and Warranties: /
* 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.

* Checked and certified by our in-house laboratoryCreated in the early 1980s from the vision of legendary designer Al Mar, the 3004 “De Oppresso Liber” is much more than a knife: it is a symbol of tactical excellence and special forces spirit.
Produced in a very limited series in Seki, Japan, this fixed blade knife was designed to meet the extreme standards of the U.S. Army's SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) units.
The engraved motto — “De Oppresso Liber,” “liberate the oppressed” — directly echoes the ethos of the American Green Berets.
