Hopefully soon iwill be able to get my hands on a scrapyard or othe busse kin knife and I will compare them towhat I have ( as if there is any comparison). I really respect the busse line of knives. Again my apologies.
Oh there's a comparison - I've done chopoffs where the majority of my Busse family blades were out-chopped by a Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie and a Cold Steel LTC Kukri. SY, SR, and Busse make very nice knives, but there are others out there that compare to them in just about every category... it's the combination of performance in MANY categories that makes them awesome knives.
That $50 ka-bar chopped better than larger, heavier Busse knives, but I wouldn't want to use it to try to hack the hinges off a Jeep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
