yup, i dont think anything is will compare to busse or busse-kin in toughness, but ESEE with their prices and amazing warranty are a good second. plus the guys at ESEE are really cool dudes.

Great review, Vic!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> There's one very serious competitor missing from that line up... the Basic 11. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> My favorite is still my DFLE, but the B11 is right up there with it now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I left out my Becker BK-9, too. I can't own every knife. But a Basic 11....oh yes, that would be a heck of a bushwacker! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Good review. I am not surprised by the Browning being the best wacker. After all, it was built around the idea of rope cutting comps.
Thanks for sharing with us.

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

Vic - I think you would really be impressed with the B 11 ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

But if they show up in the store, you know I'll get one of those. The Basic 11 looks like a serious bushwacker to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think a B11 will give the DFLE a good run for the money! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Great pics.
I was wondering if you (or anyone else) owned another big Busse blade. Like maybe a Battle Mistress. From what I understand the BWM is the thinnest Busse large blade. And I was just wondering if you feel any lack of strength. Is it still a real Chopper like the others are.
From everything I've read or heard Busse are really really strong so I was wondering if maybe saving a little weight was a good thing. And by saving that weight do you really give up a whole lot.
