That thing looks like a beast! I need to get me a Khukri blade for camping and such. I know what I get won't be on the level of the Busse, but I love the blade shape and the general utility of that type blade.

awesome! its always good to see guys using their pretty satin busse's. thanks for sharing the pics!

The KZ is a beast!!!

Next up...Gladius!

Nice K!!
Looks like a chopping BEAST, that's for sure!

Nice blade and nice hat! I have the RDB hat, but not the blade. It's good to see a Busse getting the surface blemished a bit. I have a cheapo CS Kukri and even with that, I can attest to it's chopping ability. Enjoy!

Thanks Balding Eagle. BTW, Welcome to the Yard.

Nice user pics Omar.
Did Nate thin it down too?

Hey Myke,

I just asked him to make it chop well without thinning it too much. I don't think he removed that much metal. It does not bite as well as the NMFBM did, but it for some reason, it blows out huge chunks of wood. I did get tired using it though. Much more so than the NMFBM. I don't think that it's the weight difference as much it is the weight distribution. The balance of the KZ makes it want to chop by itself so you better hold on. It seems to have a mind of its own too. It felt a little hard to control. It's a beast for sure. I actually prefer the NMFBM to it by a wide margin. So, I'll start my quest to find another one soon.

I will keep the KZ thought. Since it was NDO'd it works quite well. My dad loved it. He said, "It's like a hatchet." He loves hatchets. He used the KZ to chop and was wearing sandals. When I suggested that he put on some boots, he laughed. In the PI they used BIG blades for almost everything. And no one wears boots. He never swings full power though. I think about 70% strength. I think that makes him more accurate and he can swing a big knife all day.

Anyhow, I'd love to pick up a new and improved KZ to compare and to give it to my dad. Every knife I've given him he USES hard. So, his next blade will be a Busse or a Scrapyard.

Thanks Omar,I remember MM saying it was too fat.
As far as bite did the NMFBM have a convex edge?
I'm thinking thats partly why the KZ throws the big chunks.That & the weight.

& it sounds like your dad should be posting here too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The NMFBM was convexed by Nate-Dogg too. It was a chopping phenom. I hope to get another one soon.

The KZ is convexed too. I asked to remove as little infi as possible. I'll eventually get one of the improved KZ's. So, I wanted to keep this one as stock as possible. The new KZ will serve as the "light" Khukri for me.
