Anyone see this knife review on Youtube?

I think the #1 thing that needed to be mentioned which has been said above, is in fact the warranty. That alone is worth much of the price of the blade.

I can only agree with everyone here that he was negative about the initial monetary cost of the Busse knife. He failed to mention the Life Time warranty that Jerry offers to the owner/holder of the Busse Combat knives. Does any other knife maker offer such a warranty? I think not.
As per the sheath, I like the fact that Busse Combat knives to not come with a sheath. My reasoning is these knives are ment to be used. There are many different, and personal, configurations to carrying a knife, Why be limited to one carry function.

Additionally, he did not compare the Busse knife to any other knives of similar size and intented function of that knife. He also failed to mention the blade sharpness retention that INFI has. I could go on, but this is my 2 cents.

To be fair... not many others but yes, at least 2 that I can think of. Most likely they adopted a similar warranty because of Jerry's oustanding warranty, but I'm speculating on this part. :)
 
I really do not understand the issue on price with a Busse knife.

You can get a Boss Street for 227.00, half of Benchmade's production folders fall into that price or above. I call that a bargain. Then when you consider the cost of a BWM LE at 597.00, you could pay as much or more for any of 40 different knife makers folders. I bet that guy brags about his Reeve Umnuumzan or Strider knife every time he takes it out.

To me, Busse knives are not over priced. They are some of the "Biggest Bang for the Buck" knives you can buy. And then there is the warranty.

Off my soap box now.

Whenever I watch knife reviews I take the reviewer's opinion with a grain of salt, especially when the reviewer doesn't own or use the blade in the video. I've seen many Busse reviews and, for the most part, the reviewers love their knives. This is just one of a handful I've seen where a Busse knife isn't praised very highly.

Rat cutlery comes to mind as well. What was the other non bussekin? Bark river?
 
I'm still waiting for a review of the knife as a tool.
5 minute video, 31 seconds spent on what it actually did (and it did it well according to him) and the rest complaining about cost and sheath options.
Crappy review.

Who sold a FSH for $400? That's a DEAL!
 
The guarantee, the guarantee, why is it so Special?
What it's the costs when the knife breaks and my ass is on the line.
The guarantee ....bbbbbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooo?
I have to buy a knife, based in the guarantee and send to Iraq any she we.

is English not your native language? the last sentence is hard to understand...

anyway.

sure, if a knife (or any other tool) fails at a crucial moment it's a problem.

however, not only are Busse knives generally unlikely to fail - even under heavy use (and bordering on clear abuse in some cases), even if you do happen to damage it - they'll fix it... it's precisely this combination of great performance and durability, AND the killer warranty, that make it special.

that help?

Here is my field test on the Boss Street and it didn't break. ;)

yeeeah. name a knife of that size that would hold up to being pried with only 1/2" of the tip in a vice to 45+ degree's more than twice.

the 90 degree vice bend test is a feature of the abs smith test, but it's a single bend and the edge is allowed to crack and fracture (up to 1/3 the height of the blade). If your looking for a "guarantee" that a knife is completely indestructible you'll be sorely disappointing with what's on the market right now. Busse is as close to the strength of a prybar and a hammer as you can get on something that has a usable edge.

And not very many knives will pass that test either. ;)

Most all knives would snap before getting near a 90 degree bend.

What do those last two sentences even mean? Jibberish I presume or just out for a Troll? :confused: What knife do you swear by?
If you don't like Busse combat knives don't buy them. :D :p

I don't know if you're trolling or something is just lost in translation. The boss street is a VERY good knife, i'm just a big, dumb primate who in retrospect had a bad idea that I thought was a good one at the time. It's certainly no fault of Busse combat, and I can't imagine any other knife holding up to that.

The knife didn't just snap with a little prying. I almost had what I was prying free, and the tip took a bend instead of snapping. I pried on the other side to straighten it out and it snapped. There was a lot of force applied. Had I gotten the knife pushed in as far as I thought I did, the knife wouldn't have snapped
