My first busse kin was the tan yard hook.
Being a dumb kid and not knowing how rare it was I used it.
I've pounded the spine with granite stones(harder than brother noss's hamers mind you), split deer pelvises, chopped through bone, used it as an ice pick, dug fire and poop holes, pryed logs apart, opened cans(black olives ummm), batoned frozen hard wood, opened beers, and chucked it at trees.
Its not a pretty sight but its the best user blade I have ever had.
I would say it gets used. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
