So I was bored and decided to Measure my bussekin, focusing on the B11 and comparing it to the Dogfather.
Here are my results:
Overall length is 16 inches.
Blade length is 11 1/4 inches.

Over all length is about 16 1/4 inches making the handle 5 inches.

Cutting edge length is about 9 7/8 inches

Dogfather is much thicker than the Basic 11

At first blade thickness is 1/4 inch

Then drops down to just over 3/16 of an inch or 7/32 of an inch and the rest of the length stays at 7/32 in

Dogfather is just over 1/4 ich or 9/32 of an inch

Deregulator is 5/16 of an inch

Dan please make all future knives in this handle, shrink it for smaller knives....thumbs up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Basic 11 handles have plenty of room for me but I have bitch hands

Some BAD knives

Basic 11
*Feels better in hand than the Dogfather
*Feels like a machete because its light, my friend thought it was a machete
*Came hair wittling sharp(yes I tested it)
*Goes through paper like nothing because of its full flat grind
*I consider it 7/32 of an inch thick not 1/4 inch
*I need a sheath
*Regulator handles rock(I like that they arent at an angle to the blade. I would like a chopper with straight handle res-c)

Deregulator is 15.6 ounces

wierd how they all are .6 ounces, thats bad luck .6.6.6 (this just shows that bussekin knives will survive the apocalypse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />)

SS, if you will weigh it I will post it in the pitch in information thread.

Perfect Bruce <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- and you can add to that the BWM is an ultimate chopper and the very most comfortable of the bunch even though not pictured. Also- the original Reg is more of the pure fighter as to the grind( flat-not saber). Just my opinion- all great knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That Basic 11 looks to be a better "Bushwacker" than the Bushwacker. Of course, I'd have to use one to know for sure. I'll have to pass on buying one at this time. Besides, I have two BWMs already and a DFLE. They are fine bush blades. But if I did not already have such an arsenal of choppers, that Basic 11 looks like a good choice for an all-around camp machete/chopper.

Great comparison info! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I've got all three but haven't had time for comparisons. Also, I really like the BWM, but I think the RES-C on the B11 is gunna give it a little advantage when in use. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great comparision pics. Thanks for posting.

Hard to argue with that logic, Bruce. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Although I still prefer my DFLE over the CG... and I agree on the B11, I figured I'd better get in on that while I had the chance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

That is exactly how I thought Jeff. I really like them all- but there is just " something" about the BW that feels right to me. In the end-I just get all of them- but I do have my favorites for sure. For the $$$ the B 11 is an awesome buy for sure.Especially for someone that enjoys the ResC scales-Nice reviews and comments. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Very good point... and even though I don't need another... I'm still always tempted by the DF's anytime I see them on the table for sale... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />





Yep, having a chance to buy a new Busse with Res-C was something I never expected to have. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I too like the BWM handles, although, eventually I will smooth the handle down. I'm just not crazy about those grooves... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
