In the late 1970's Jerry Busse began making custom knives in a small 16' x 22' cabin with no insulation, heat, or running water. After completing his bachelor's degree in 1982, he became a full-time knife maker. Making knives on a full-time basis afforded him the time to continue his education and to complete two graduate degrees. Their combined use of CNC technology and old world craftsmanship allowed Busse Combat to push the performance envelope to new heights and to experience dramatic growth. They now operate out of several new buildings and have grown from a one-man knife shop into a very modernized and highly automated production facility.
As the company continues to grow and evolve, Jerry and Jennifer strive to find innovative ways to continue improving Busse Combat.
