Any of you actually broken a Busse?

I dropped my BATAC on bathroom counter...broke the bathroom counter.

When I saw this thread come back, I was half expecting expecting Mike's "I did now" post.
 
Wow, old thread. Five months later and using them harder than any knife I've ever owned, and I've only actually seriously damaged one, and that was using it to do something it really shouldn't have.

Toughest knives on the planet, bar NONE.

Agreed. I beat the shit out of mine, absolutely no mercy. They are exactly what I wanted in hard-use knives, and they (and the people and warranty behind them) deliver in every regard. I own no other fixed blades anymore.
 
I saw an FFBM get run over by a Tank.....

The Tank had to be fixed...

I would be hard pressed to break a quality full-tang knife. Period.

That's because I don't use knives as pry bars, chisels, entry tools, shooting targets, etc.

Instead, I use pry bars, chisels, entry tools, shooting targets, etc.

So true. I just got my hands on an ESEE RC-5 and though it's not INFI I can't imagine possibly breaking it. If someone did they are doing something seriously wrong.

I did break off the very tip of a Bog Dog I once had but that is because it was over thinned at the tip.

Uh, no...



Broken Busse’s are such a rarity that I actually feel privileged to own one of the very few blades that ever succumbed. Here’s the handle piece off of my Basic 9 after Noss finished with it. Notice the handle is still perfectly functional after his prolonged, relentless battle to destroy the knife. I love Resiprene-C. :thumbup: :cool:

IMAGE DELETED: Sorry, guys. Given the history, I decided having that photo floating around on the web was just too big a target--too many miscreants out there suffering from Busse envy who might enjoy ripping it off for their own ill-conceived purposes.

Thanks for understanding,
Will

That's exactly how I look at it.

Quite a benchmark for a knife manufacturer that breaking one of its blades is such a remarkable rarity it becomes a significant event--and the broken blade a historic relic. :cool:
