So, I went camping at Rock Creek (about 25 miles down from Big Bear, CA) To process wood, I brought the closest thing I have to a big chopper- my busse nmsfno.
It had been sent to nate (norcalblacktail @ BF) for a mean convex edge, and looked otherwise unused.
It can no longer be considered unused.

[color:"blue"] Here is a part of a log I broke up with rocks. I decided to chop this section in half.



I used it to shred a bunch of precut wood too







the folder that went with me on a mountain bike ride. It's smaller compared to the nmsfno




here's a cropped shot of the mid-afternoon moon

The nmsfno was fun to chop with, and was a champ at splitting wood via batoning!

ps, the rest of knives I took with me were kershaw folders. Folders were the ones that actually went with me mountain biking and ended up cleaning the 8 trout I caught.

Now I'm really looking forward to a real big chopper

Nice pictures. That is one smooth looking convex edge.

That is a nice mirror edge, but MAN is that a good pic of the Moon!

Great pics!

VERY nice!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

They say the nmsfno is one of the best camp knives made by busse. glad you like yours. Great pics,

In my world, the NMSFNO IS the BEST overall camp knife. Not too big, not to heavy, chops and batons like a dream. I only own 8 or 9 Bussekin knives and if they all had to go but one, I'd keep the NMSFNO. I'm trying to decide which knife to piggyback to my NMSFNO sheath, my rodent solution, War Dog or my (maybe soon to be) Hog Muk. Then I will have the perfect belt setup for camping/backpacking.

Nice pics! I'll have to take some pics my next trip.

I agree that moon pic of awesome.

Yeah that moon pic is extraordinary <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I really like Nates work, looks like he did a very good job.

Not having the RS or the HM I would say go with the Solution, or the Muk. The muk is a VERY nice blade, but with the Busse, the RS might be a better companion blade, MAYBE more versatile.

Very cool

And you caught 8 trout...wow I am envious

Thanks for sharing the pics

A nmsfno with a res-c handle would be BadA$$!


I need to go chop something...or have a beer...
