Cool quotations as well....I like the Confucius one the best....succinct and very true. I should follow that one more myself.

Well it has been an informative day for me.....been doing a lot of sharpening on knives ready to do some tests and will do some posts in due course when I have some Dogs to throw in the mix. They are in the post at present.

I have been scanning the Busse site on Blade and the Exchange and discovered that Jerry's favourite Busse knife is......a Jackhammer! I was suprised at this....I did'nt recognise it at all from my mental recollection and later in the same thread someone posted a picture of the knife. Quite a formidable looking knife.....definately got my attention. Its looks sort of grow on you...

Anyway...was scanning the Exchange and lo and behold one was up for sale...a CE model with bare infi/black look and my type of green/black grips....instant Infi monkey on my back whispering in my ear....I decided it was "meant to be" and "scored" it. Not a knife for pulling out with "sheeple" about....very mean looking...but I love it.

Anyway...I am rambling...my point is ...we should ask Dan what his favourite knife is. If it has not already been done....

Jerry's choice suprised me...I figured it would have been the Steel Heart in one guise or another...probably going off the logo I guess...that and the price! HotRodKelly has a HOGFSHLE No1 up for sale at $2000!!!! I had to get a grip then....was thinking of selling some of my expensive knives....I reckon it would take 4 of these knives to get this sort of cash....and maybe have a piece of history? Got a grip of myself....found the Jackhammer and said to myself that "this makes more sense"!!

Which ofcourse it does'nt....unless you are a knife collector....! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anyway...here is a picture of the knife....now at least I am good for a few more days...

Yes it does suit many of the knives.....especially those with the combat grooves as above.

Combat grooves = blood grooves?

Similar, but in this case the grooves lighten the blade without giving up lateral strength. That's the idea anyway, and I'm sure it works, but I haven't seen the math on it.

I think I have figured out the new plan. Offer as few Scrappers as possible and only a few more Rats. This will cause customers to buy the more expensive Busse Combat offerings. Brilliant!


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Well....I have had second thoughts on the NMFBM LE and cancelled the order....it makes no sense having this....I am pretty certain the DFLE will be my chopper of choice....it's what I came here for. I would rather use a lighter knife.

If I did get something else I might look at a CGBM which seems to be the lightest of the sensible priced Infi Choppers. Team it up with the Jackhammer.

Blood Grooves Rule!!!

Too expensive and too big for me. I can't imagine hauling around a chopper any bigger than my CGFBM.
