Very nice. Don't have an AK but lust after them.
How's the vibration when you hit hard wood? Does it "thunk" in like a DF or is the blade more lively?

Jeff, You lucky dog.....I'm green with envy. However......... you, forgot to get me one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Chop something for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
When you care enough to use only the best...stick'em with a SKYCO knife.

That is nice!! My dream blade right now is the Busse Ruck. It may be shorter then the AK but I'll decapitate some zombies with that.

Back when BCS had AKs in stock for a long time, it seemed like months, I kept thinking I'd have get one of them someday. However, there was no rush, they were a regular item I could pick up anytime. Then one day they were gone, but I wasn't worried, they'll make more, I just have to wait a while... I'm waiting...
It just goes to show, you've got to reach in and grab what's there or be prepared to walk away empty handed. Good snag, Jeff; I can see from the pictures that you're enjoying it.

How's the vibration when you hit hard wood? Does it "thunk" in like a DF or is the blade more lively? I'm never any good at describing stuff like that, but I love the way the AK feels and chops. Having been in the SCA for many years, I've played with hundreds of swords, I really can't thing of many that felt as good. Back when BCS had AKs in stock for a long time, it seemed like months, I kept thinking I'd have get one of them someday. However, there was no rush, they were a regular item I could pick up anytime. Then one day they were gone, but I wasn't worried, they'll make more, I just have to wait a while... I'm waiting...
It just goes to show, you've got to reach in and grab what's there or be prepared to walk away empty handed. Good snag, Jeff; I can see from the pictures that you're enjoying it. I'm like you, Jim. I looked at them often when the store had them and have kicked myself often for not getting one then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I am enjoying it for sure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Congrats, Jeff. In this day when folks recoil at the sight of a pocket knife, it is good to know that some folks are buying INFI swords! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> LOL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Now, I've just got to figure out how to design a good working pocket sheath for it, so I can take it to work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How about a necker Jeff? I would advise strongly against an IWB though.

LOL!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yep, IWB is out of the question with this one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yea, maybe a necker... with a dangler... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ... and wheels or something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hope they cycle through the Busse production schedual again. Agreed. I'd love to get the Ruck. I wouldn't mind if SY and SR did the same as well.

The AK was my first Bussekin blade. Everything since has been a bit of a let down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
