I hope the blade still stays thick as hell. That thing would create serious holes. .44 Magnum of Bowies
With the saber grind, I'd be surprised if it stayed the full 1/3 of an inch thick. With a full flat grind, that thickness was still efficient for chopping and even decent for slicing, but a saber grind at the same total blade height and thickness would create a much less acute grind angle, making it a less efficient cutter in general. At a full flat grind, the 1/3 inch thickness was perfect <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

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? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" /> My last sentence was meant to be facetious, BJBJ. That's why I put a <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> after it. Sorry you missed that. Sorry I missed the meaning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I definately see this knife as more of a Ka-Bar than a wood chopper, especially with the new grind.

And he's said the things he doesn't like about it and people are basically getting mad at him. It's a discussion forum. I think hes intitled to his opinion on the knife.

Yes, Dan asked for our feedback, but considering the number of people who thought the guard was terrible, and the lack of even a single person who has said "I suggested a saber grind", I question the idea that he listened to it all that much.
I'm sure Dan listened, otherwise why even produce a test team version? Maybe a reinforced guard would jack the price up more than Dan wants to offer the knife for. Maybe the saber grind strengthens the knife, and keeps costs down but still staying within the best performance to price ratio. I'm sure he has reasons for everything he's done. Just wait and see and if you don't like it, don't buy one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Was the input provided from the Test Team members posted anywhere in a consolidated thread?
I read the Regulator thread but Dan stated that the Test Team input went directly from the team member to him.
I would be interested to see how many Test Team members recommended certain changes to the design.

Obviously I'm no mod, but I just want to remind folks to treat each other with respect. Opinions vary and are valid... For me, the yard is a great, friendly place to chill and blab about common interests and not sweat people getting internet-uppity. Hope we can keep it that way! They are just knives folks (great knives! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) There's a nice thread going about why we love busse-kin...maybe amble over there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I would love to read the TT feedback too just to see how my ideas compared to others. I do believe that my idea came in conclusion with many others----a good knife that needed a metal guard or no Res-C at the top.
Fanboyism is the following of something so blindly that you don't know good from bad, etc. The pic posted of the "bean" explains it well.
Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust
