Yes. If the knife is used AS INTENDED, the rubber guard is probably sufficient. The problem is, people routinely push Bussekin knives beyond their design parameters because they expect Bussekin knives to be able to take it. If only people were more sensible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
So are you insinuating that Dan should tell us the "AS INTENDED" use for every knife so that we make sure it is "sufficient" for our use?
