Busse Axehammer

[Major Kong]

We talked about this one a little bit in the Blade Show discussion. A couple of us who were lucky enough to go to Blade had the opportunity to meet Jeff Axelson, the brother of Matt Axelson from Lone Survivor. Jeff has a company called Axelson Tactical who in conjunction with Busse Combat produced the Axehammer tribute knife. I ordered mine at Blade and had it in hand less than a week later.

 

It is typical Busse quality, that is to say indestructible. The knife is INFI steel and is 12" overall length. It has a sage coating and G-10 scales. The sheath is made by David Brown and has the Axelson Tactical logo on it. I really had no need for another knife in this size range but I thought the story and history behind it were cool enough to pick one up.

That's a great looking blade.  What's the overall size? It looks to be maybe 11-12 inches.

You got it, just a hair over 12 inches overall.

So nice.

[Monkeyman2500]

Very nice. That's a good one for display, I'd be afraid to rough it up any.

Its a Busse trademark. They call it a talon-hole. Some people use it in conjunction with the hole in the hilt to attach d-guards.

Very cool and beautiful knife. I said to myself, "you should get one of those"...then I checked the price...

Well, must admit would never have though of that aspect. I see most just do a para cord type thing, though, which would seem to be of limited benefit, excpet of course to have some extra paracord with you:

 

 

This one looks quite "functional" though!:
