leather with compound glued to top or bottom of altoids fire/psk tin. takes up zero space.

plus if youre already hauling an axe around, why not a small piece of leather? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

or if you wear a leather belt?

.... and potentially break and waste my blade...

id like to see the day i break my busse knife chopping! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

not trying to down your opinions, just offering alternatives.

oh and ive only had my SOD reprofiled, my CGFBM only slightly hit down the shoulders...the m9 came shaving sharp no need to.


I really have no problem with leather.... I usually have a strop or belt...

I don't suggest that you will break a Busse... I suggest you could...and in a survival situation...why risk it?.... axe or small hatchet...or machete....will chop just fine..

I like that you aren't regrinding your edge on your M9... you know the old rule "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"....

I love differing opinions.... it makes me think and reconsider....if you play chess and only play people as good or worse than you, you aren't challenged and won't get much better... but if you play the better player....

Thanks for your input
