The question: What doesn't Busse make?
What are two of the most asked questions you see here in the Busse Forum?
1) What is the best large and medium chopper?
2) What is your favorite EDC knife in the 3.5" - 4" range knife?
The usual answer to question #1 ranges from a FBM, FFBM, SHBM, BME to FSH, FFSH, SHE, SHII, Sarsquach, ETC. The REAL answer should be a nice hatchet or small Axe, something like a Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet which has a 14" handle and a 3" cutting edge. I have one and it is a great little tool that is actually made for chopping!
The answer to question #2 is almost always either an Active Duty or a Mean Street. Small fixed blades are fine, but not very practicle in everyday use. I would bet that more than 85% of the people that carry a knife daily, carry a folding knife and that is what Busse needs to make. I would like to see any type of folding knife with a frame lock or other positive lock, I personally don't need the one that is nuke proof, but just that it works well. I have several quality frame locks that have never failed to stay in the locked position.
I guess I just get tired sometimes of the same threads repeating the need for a real chopper and a EDC knife.
O.K. I said my piece, now lets hear your opinions on the lack of a Axe or Folder.....................................
