Any Busse CG's?

[Lycosa]

Has Busse ever done a chisel grind run on a knife model(s) or are those just custom orders? OINK!

I have seen 1 old model at the Columbus show. Owner said Jerry gave it to him long ago when he first started setting up at the shows (back when Jerry did the shows...)

There was no mistaking that is was Jerry's design. Pre-talon hole years...

its a tanto, but still a v grind.

I guess there is not any demand for a CG. I understand; with the V grind, you have a universal, all purpose blade shape. Thanks.

What! Busse produced a chisel ground blade.
Its called a thin nick...

Uncle Jarvis---VHAT are you talking about?? I think---chipping?

no, he is referring to the "nuclear infi culinary knife", or nick.

i was not aware it is chisel ground. thought it was convexed.

XXXL NICKs were convexed.

The Thin NICKs are chisel ground. Jarvis is right-on.

Can someone post a PIC of a NICK?

What about the old asymetrical grind knives? Isn't that a chisel grind, or am I getting something wrong?

no, the assym is not a chisel.

one side is ground more accutely, but it is still a v grind.

The thin nick #111 is black paper micarta .09" thick and has a chisel grind.
on the other side it is completely flat and has 0 edge. Very useful for thin slicing. This type of grind sacrifices strength for sharpness.

The non #ed blade is a xxxL Nick
