Ordawg, send me your INFI blades and I will sharpen them up for you. I just hope they all make it back to you without getting lost! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Hey Randy- look for a large freight truck- they are on the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.They are fairly sharp as I have an Apex Pro amoung many other stones etc- I just prefer the 101-SR77 as the INFI is not much better IMO. But- others love it- I prefer the performance factor as I use mine for many tasks. i spend over half the yaer in the bush. Heck-I practically live in the bush <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Res-C is virtually unsurpassed in its ability to absorb shock. But it's not aesthetically pleasing . . . at least not as far as I'm concerned. So the knives I tend to buy with Res-C handles are choppers and camp knives rather than utility knives and EDCs. I'd be willing to consider purchasing utility knives and EDCs with mudder grips, but only if they're well balanced. IMO, mudder-gripped knives in the well-balanced category include the SS4 and the MP (and undoubtedly the WD when it arrives), but not the S5. What do you mean res-C is not aesthetically pleasing?? Wash your mouth out with soap Bruce! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Otherwise I agree with most of your post! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Every time I look at my BATAC or Bravo 1 and compare those to my Busse Basic 7, S6 or SS4, I think res-C is simply the ultimate handle material BAR NONE. *AND* it looks cool too.

If it's Yard and it hasn't got res-C at one end it better be a skele' necker... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I keep crossing my fingers that Dan makes a model with Micarta grips ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> itd be sweet but i highly doubt it micarta is $$. price to performance ratio! lol look at how much more expensive the RMD is over the S5cg, granted its a full tang but still Actually I don't think micarta or G10 is that expensive at all. I am alawys a bit puzzed by the price differance <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. It is like why is INFI so expensive ? IMO it doesn't perform any better than 101-SR77-52100-ATS etc ? Whenever I have asked I always get the answer" just because it is "INFI" .Personaly-I don't buy much INFI bcause i just don't see the edge.I also can get a better edge on my 101 than I can my INFI- but maybe I am lousy at sharpening <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> While what you have just said is heresy and when the 'hogs' find out they'll put a contract out on you, I totally agree! I think INFI is so expensive because it is a custom steel and made specially for Busse *alone*. I seem to have read somewhere it is sort of A8 with a nitrogen soak (that info may have come from Knife Forums). I know someone posted a mass spec' report on it somewhere...

Glad you agree but now I have a contract on my [censored] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> What now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Maybe I'll be forced to buy a HUGE pile of INFI -get drunk and wear a Pig Nose All beacuse i didn't praise the INFI <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />- now I got a bunch of Hogs chasing me-but..........a good ole Dog can and will outrun a fat ole Hog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Are the handles formed/molded onto the tang, or are they put on?

I highly rate the Res C grips and would if I could send in some Infi knives to be re-done on the tang to have a Res C grip fitted ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
