Dingy, I would'nt think it would be fair to the Busse co. to intentionally try or to intentionally break a busse combat knife and expect busse to replace it. Any knife ever made can be broken or tore up. So I would tell your friend not to do so, unless he has more money than sense, and he just likes to break/tear up a perfectly great piece of Infi. Heck I can break a crow bar but what does that prove. So I would say NO :thumbdn: to that idea.
 
+1 for saying that really doesn't seem to be the honorable thing to do to their company. People taking advantage of a company's excellent warranty has lead other companies to alter their warranty in the past. I would not wish to do anything to even give Busse a hint of regret about giving us the best warranty in the buisness. Please tell your friend to use his knife as a knife is supposed to be used. Use a Busse harder than you would use any other knife, but please don't intentionally destroy it. Take care,

Straight from the Busse website...

With a steel like INFI it's easy to understand why we offer the toughest guarantee in the business. We guarantee against any and all unintentional MAJOR damage forever.

I put the important bit in bold.

No, the warranty will not cover it.
 
Don't destroy one of the baddest knives on the planet. USE it. Chop some wood, hunt some hogs, send it to me.
 
Well if your friend is in China with you, I'd highly suggest against it because it's it against the law just to import that into China? So if you got it in the country, why even risk having to send it back to the company? Cause if they don't let it back into the country on the return of the knife, well, nothing Busse can do about that but send it to me for free:)
And why would anyone want to intentional try to destroy something? That just sounds stupid to me.
 
If you use it hard, even in a way it's not designed to be used, I do not think there would be a problem if the knife breaks. It would take a silly amount of abuse to break an FSH by the way.
But you apparently already know the knife will be destroyed, regardless. How can you expect anyone to cover that?
 
Trying to get a manufacturer to replace an intentionally broken knife is very scummy, and honestly, I would hope Busse wouldn't warranty the blade. Busse has one of the best warranties in the business, there's no need to take advantage of a good thing. Tell your friend to enjoy the knife, not wreck it.
 
If one breaks under hard use that is one thing, although I really don't see one snapping under even extremely hard use, but to break one on purpose is not good.
 
Having owned an FSH, but never using one, I can tell you that no test of that knife aside from intentionally destroying one with a vice and sledgehammer will break it.

That's what I was thinking too. :)
 
I would say it depends on the type of test he wants to do. If he just wants to keep beating on it with more and more force until it breaks, then no, but if he wants to test what he thinks is a legitimate use, then maybe.

Several people have used their Busse's to cut up a chain or cut a car door off it's hinges. They definitely didn't NEED to use a knife to do these tasks, but you could claim that they are legitimate tests to see how a tool will perform - "if I get into a car accident and my wife is trapped in the car, can I really use my FSH to get her out?"

On the other hand, putting a knife into a vise and hitting it with a hammer until it breaks isn't a test that reflects any kind of actual use (no matter how ridiculous that use might be), and I would think it would be very dishonorable to do such a thing and then get a free replacement under the warranty.


So... yeah.... it depends.
 
I tell you what, tell your friend i'll give him 200 bucks for the knife and shipping, and can assure him 100% that the knife will eventually break when hit with a sledgehammer in a vice, or cut with a plasma cutter, or strapped to a nuclear weapon and detonated. That way an awesome knife doesn't get destroyed, and it'll be sent to a proper home. I'm actually almost annoyed at some of the dtesting stuff, I think it can be fun to watch, but I'll never cut through a pipe with a hammer and a busse. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing testing like MM said, but anyone setting out to destroy a knife will win, they aren't adamantium.
 
+1. :D

I can break it, I have an 8 Lb sledge hammer, if I drove it into a stump and hit it a number of times I can guarantee you I can break it. ;)
 
I bet you it wouldn't hold up to a .50 bmg API round either at 40 yards. What would that prove?

Not much would take that. LOL

It's doesn't prove anything, I was just saying I would take the blade for $200 also. :D
