So you lied?
I can't imagine a Busse owner doing that!:rolleyes:

Don't worry, Jerry loves you guys. People like you keep him in business.

Why no picture? He just push cut through a phone book! What are you bringing to the table? Surely you can find a use for a sledgehammer and a crowbar out in the Alaskan wilderness!

Oooh! I know!!! Maybe you could go pick a fight with a grizzly!
 
I've got no dog in this fight, but I have to give credit towards Tyrkon Lawson's responses.:thumbup:
 
Ummm, you need to look up the definition of 'Push cutting"
I noticed you rocked the blade. That is not allowed. Simple Mora knives can cut through 2" saplings using that technique.

Yes I am impressed that you can cut part of the corner off a small phonebook with a rocking motion. However, this is not the same as 'pushcutting a phonebook in half', which was your original statement. When you show video of that, then I will concede your point.

My Busse knives are shaving sharp, can push cut a phone book in half, :

If you had said that 'you can cut the corner of a phonebook off', I never would have called you on such a statement.

I do appreciate your effort in showing us your video.

Back to my original thread,
Why doesn't Busse enter any of these contests?
Go ahead and reprofile the blade! Make a competition model! Do what the other guys are doing!
If INFI is still so great, it can win a simple cutting competition can't it?

Seriously, I want to see some results in competition.

Fair enough. The AK needed more rocking than the BATAC. I'll try to do a more "push only" vid for you tonight. :thumbup:

But my point was/is that my Busse knives are sharp enough but can also do tasks. That's just my preference. :)

Again I state that it's obvious you started with an agenda.
So why not state your point?

I think Tyrkon knows the strict definition of "push cut". Are you saying that pushing the blade forward will produce less of a finished result than Tyrkon simply pushing down on the blade? Also, his second vid. shows some draw cuts on that MCAT book. Did you see that video?

Well, show him up! Let's see YOU push-cut a phonebook in half. You talk the talk... Take up your knife of choice, grab a comparatively thick phone book, and shoot us a vidclip...

Here's your opportunity to prove how wrong those of us who like Busse knives are... You've already shown that you have issues with Busse as seen on at least one other thread, so show us something with your favorite knife... Time to "walk the walk".

:rolleyes:

I never claimed to be able to 'pushcut a phonebook in half'. HE DID.
I don't need to back up a statement I never made!!!!

Speaking of 'walk the talk', why doesn't Busse do that in a CUTTING COMPETITION?
That was my original thread.

Case closed.

All right guys, its pretty clear that the ill-will resides on one side of the table, the side where bearcut sits. Let's leave it that way and go enjoy our knives.:)
 
Take a phonebook , put it in a vice with the spine up, and half of it hanging out the side. Then take either one of those knives in the video and push cut the damn thing. After that start a thread asking why the knife competition knives don't show up at a cinderblock cutting contest.
 
Everyone can see what you want. Of course it is not what you are saying, but it is obvious just the same.

Another clueless anti-busse troll. . . :yawn:

As to the competitions, they are not really a test of any particular blade steel, but the cutting skills of the contestant.
 
bearcut: I will try to push cut through something thick like a phonebook tonight with my BATACSE Fatty. I'll really try to control the rocking. Push only. Even still, there are other knives that would push cut much easier. My SE is a fat bastard. On the other hand, I bet my Busse would out baton, pry, chop, etc... It just depends on what is important to you bro. I have a huge crow bar in the garage. I'll have to measure it later. That is my main pry tool. I have a more compact prybar in my bob that I would use first. I want another Gransfors Brux axe/hatchet because they are super choppers. I need a small sledge as well. Those tools are tops at what they do. But my Busse can do a decent enough job at all of those jobs, and more, all in one package. That's just how I like it. We all have our tastes. ;)

I was refering to the Bladeshow West Cutting competion.

I have noticed that the Crowbarshow West Prying competition was won this year by a 36" prybar. It beat all other knives hands down.

The Extreme Impactshow West contest was won by a 3lb solid steel sledgehammer. In addition to smashing bricks, cinder blocks, pottery, and a Ming vase, this tool pounded into submission all other knife blades it came in contact with, and had barely a nick to its surface. One interesting note: a humble rock did a better job as a hammer than all the other knife edges in the contest as well.:)

Ha, ha, now that was some clever stuff. :rolleyes:

Tyrkon is no liar, he may have exaggerated a bit, but hey you started the tall tales contest. You have an obvious bias and agenda. I commend Tyrkon for trying to keep this baiting session of yours civil and informational, it is too bad you couldn't do the same. If I had the spare cash I would commission a blade for cutting competition from Jerry and let the top guy use it just to see what it could do, just so no one could troll on the topic again. Here's wishing for a windfall.

I've only kept track of the last couple of years of cutting competitions so I may be wrong here. How come Busse knives never enter these contests? Chopping wood, followed by slashing and slicing tests, followed by another wood chopping test, seems like a very real world example of how well a blade performs, [and might be used in a survival situation]. Wouldn't these tests show that INFI steel works as good or better than anything else out there? Nobody in his right mind would use his blade to chop through a cinder block like the Busse demo anyway, so why not show that INFI is at least good at the Blade show tests? [Or at least the top ten}

Yes, I saw that the competitors all used M4 steel, which is not available to the general public in production knives. INFI isn't available in other knives either, so a comparison test using INFI and M4 would be apples to apples.

Entering this contest and winning it year after year would certainly put an end to any arguements about the "Ultimate" knife steel. {non-stainless}

Progunner,
Where, pray tell, in this thread did I start a 'tall tale'?

Where?

The Busse owner started the tall tale.

He didn't 'exaggerate', he lied.

I was refering to the 2007 Bladeshow West article in Blade magazine; Feb 2008 edition.

I was simply asking why Jerry's company doesn't enter these contests.
Why don't they?

I hope you do ask Jerry to enter a contest. This would answer a lot of questions.
 
Again, when I stated that I cut a phonebook in half I was referring to the height. Obviously the 5" blade on the BATAC is not long enough to cut the length of the book. But I should gave explained that. My bad. Perhaps I could find a book that is tall, as tall as a phone book even, but not too wide.

I'm on it. ;) (Just for kicks)
