As I recall the CS folks had the chance to take the original "Busse Challenge" some years ago and they declined. It seems that the "main line" knife companies like to deal with the Busse question by either ignoring it or pretending that Busse performance claims are overblown.

I would like to suggest just the opposite. It has been my experience that Dan's brother under states the performance of his knives. Dan's sister-in-law does the same. From the example I have of my two previous purchases from Scrap Yard, it looks to me like Dan and Patti are following the tradition.

I am seriously impressed by what we have seen here and I really believe that once the word gets out Dog Fathers will be more sought after than even the infamous Battle Mistress!
This knife appears to be absolutely amazing!
