Actually I bet they would do just fine. And no blade thickness is not important if anything the thicker the blade is the more prone it will be to breaking. Don't forget the three properties, strength the ability to resist deflection, Hardness the ability to resist surface deformation/abrasion and toughness the ability to resist breaking.


I have seen some fairly large knives in some of there demo's and that's it. Given the extreme hardness they probably don't hold up. Remember S7 far far exceeds D2 in shock resistance and SR77 goes beyond that. Cost is really not a factor given what high end busse's (and others) go for and they don't have any problem selling. Given the amount of attention that edge retention gets on other forums you would think they would be mentioned more but their not. At the moment all I see is an expensive fair weather skinning knife. I can buy a Busse for the same price or less that's way more knife. I can drive stick shift and I can sharpen my knives so edge retention is not that important to me. What is important is overall performance and in that category Busse's are still the toughest knives made hands down.....


Time tells so we will have to wait and see until then I will invest in Busse's.
