leather with compound glued to top or bottom of altoids fire/psk tin. takes up zero space.

plus if youre already hauling an axe around, why not a small piece of leather? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

or if you wear a leather belt?

.... and potentially break and waste my blade...

id like to see the day i break my busse knife chopping! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

not trying to down your opinions, just offering alternatives.

oh and ive only had my SOD reprofiled, my CGFBM only slightly hit down the shoulders...the m9 came shaving sharp no need to.


I really have no problem with leather.... I usually have a strop or belt...

I don't suggest that you will break a Busse... I suggest you could...and in a survival situation...why risk it?.... axe or small hatchet...or machete....will chop just fine..

I like that you aren't regrinding your edge on your M9... you know the old rule "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"....

I love differing opinions.... it makes me think and reconsider....if you play chess and only play people as good or worse than you, you aren't challenged and won't get much better... but if you play the better player....

Thanks for your input

Doc

I like them sharp, whether convex or flat bevel edge. But I just find that even when I use a stone, my edges are more convex than flat, so what the heck? It's easier for me to do a convex edge on a belt sander anyway, much smoother than using the platen. It isn't a huge difference anyway unless you have a full convex zero edge. That makes an uncanny difference in a chopper. But any edge that is sharp will do. The edges I have seen on the S5 pics appear to be pretty good. I have sharpened flat edges with a strop, and convex edges with a ceramic rod. It's just no big deal. Sharp is sharp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Even when you're sitting in your living room peeling grapes, you prefer you convexed DF? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

i think tyger just meant he thinks to each there own and dont hate on anyone for having their own opinon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That was pretty much what I was trying to say, and tease Doc a little.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

By no means was I saying that I didn't want to hear your opinion, Doc; I was just trying to point out that others have had experiences that differ from yours.

I wasn't trying to say that they were right and you were wrong, or that one way is better than the other, or that only the "senior" members of the forum should voice opinions. I have enjoyed learning a thing or two from everyone on this board, both senior and junior.

I think whatever way you find best, is then the best method for you, whatever it may apply to. Sharing your opinion is what a forum is all about.

I apologize if you felt that I was coming down on you; I was only attempting to do a little friendly joking with you, that's all, since you said in your post that ,"I'll probably regret typing that." If you haven't noticed in previous posts, I do like to joke a little.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cool...

I can take it.... just wanted to make sure I wasn't reading you wrong....

let me have it...I don't get offended.. pull no punches....

I just didn't want to get anyone hacked off ....that was the reason for the "I'll probably regret typing that."...

Thanks for your comments, opinions, and jokes/jests/puns/ whatever...

Doc

I eat the grape skins. They're high in antioxidants and I'm too lazy to peel them. I use my Bird Dog on the cantaloupe skins.

Well said Tyger - BTW, how are you coming along on that knife you were making? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I buggered up my first attempt at making the handles, and had to pick up some more material.

By the time I got it, though, I started getting bogged down in job related work. I'm in charge of 4 different projects right now, and was tasked with a fifth task yesterday afternoon. I've been coming home for the past month and a half, and pretty much passing out on the couch most of the time for a few hours. I'm really looking forward to getting some leave away from the base and just relaxing; finding the energy to finish my knife would be nice as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Cool. Hope you get to finish it. I finished my first and plan to start my second this weekend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> They are fun albeit time consuming. And, Doc won't like this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />, but I put a full convex grind on my first one and it turned out pretty good.
It looks like a knife and it cuts stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, I only have my S5's.. and can't speak of other Busse makes... but mine are both shaving sharp...good enough... I wasn't trying to imply that one shouldn't resharpen their own property... or to change anyone's mind about what they like....
I didn't think you were. I'm glad that you're happy with the edges from the factory... some SY edges are pretty good and don't need much (if any) work!

Quote

I just think the convex edge argument is so academic that in terms of real world use, you are right.. its moot, anything that is sharp will work....I just think it's kind of a fad or fashion....

Doc
and you're entitled to think that. I think it's catching on more and more as people are realizing it's advantages.

I'm taking my blades and dragging a Smith's carbide knife sharpener across them.
LMAO.
