That's a hunk of INFI! Be interesting to see how those teeth perform.

Freakishly good...that and the corrugated bevel is one amazing piece of steel. Do I sound like I have hog envy?

We could have used that thing over at Mingo back early spring. We had about 20-30 wild hogs run across one of the roads in front of us.

I think I will need one...

Re: The Busse Battle Saw! - 10/14/15 02:11 PM
I might, depending on the price.
She is a mean looking thing. I wonder how the saw is going to work having the cut on the push. I would think I wouldnt want to have it bind up and have my hand slip forward. Might be missing a few fingers. I would think you would want to have it cut on the pull.
I might have to break my no more knife rule and get her. She is singing to me like a beautiful siren.

The ASHBM has a very prominent guard and very pronounced handle contouring, I think you will be just fine as long as you have an uncompromised grip and your hands are not greasy.

Just use a rearward lanyard and shorten it correctly and that should end any fears you might have.

If the teeth are done correctly, as I suspect they are, it should cut quite well. Good for when you need to make camp and want to save the edge for game-processing.

Jerry has this to say about it
Yes, it's INFI!
The Busse Combat Battle Saw
This knife is inspired by a saw tooth monster I made back in the early 80's, and is built on the foundation of the legendary Straight Handled Battle Mistress. The model I made in the 80's was the only one on the market at the time with saw teeth that were canted toward the tip. My research at the time indicated that the only saws on the market with backward canted teeth were tenon or draw saws that were designed for cutting in finely detailed tenons and dove tails for drawers. They were not designed for heavy notching and or sawing. Users of these two different designs heavily favored the teeth in the forward canted position, as this allowed the user to put their weight into the cut and allowed for much deeper and much more efficient cutting. With the teeth on top, the best position was to saw from the bottom up. Many saw backed knives had a groove running down the center of the teeth. This groove was fine on dried wood but green wood would bind up rather quickly and required constant cleaning in order to proceed.
The teeth were never meant to replace the chopping required to build a shelter or to gather wood for a fire, but rather for notching sticks for traps and for shelter building when a straight cut edge or notch would work best for a particular application.
The Battle Saw features our patented CBT Corrugated Bevel Technology which reduces weight while increasing rigidity in the blade. It makes for a very efficient chopper.
The butt of the knife is flat and is perpendicular to the cutting edge for efficient hammering of the tip.
The teeth are sharpened prior to coating for better protection from the elements. The coating will not impede the cutting ability of the teeth.

The teeth were my main concern also. They look like the teeth are too deep to cut wood effectively, plus having to cut on the push seems odd to me. Its a nice looking blade but Im going to have to pass on it.

Me too, I see little reason to go above 3/16" for anything under 18"…. that is unless heavy prying is a concern which I don't do to often.

Sage with green and black g10
Black with pumpkin g10
I've hit the stage in my Busse addiction where I buy 2 of everything... It's not good at all folks....
Im in on this one black on black. Looks like a beast. Don't have anything with the cbt treatment and teeth on a Busse don't seem to show up to often.

Then the Battle Saw pops up... IN! Black with Black Canvas. Just could not resist her!!!!
