Are Busse knives the only high end production knives actually being used?

Since we are talking about ridiculous thing like cutting thru 1/4" steel plate so the ridiculous geometry is reasonable.

There are numbers of knifemakers who left very thick edge with obtuse edge angle and cutting thru silly stuff for advertising. The main trick is its need to cut on hard surface cutting board like anvil etc.

Steel or HT are sure super important for every quality knife... That why I bought Busse blades.

But if you want to do something stupid with your blade like cutting steel, geometry is just the easiest way to achieved that. You just don't even need a very good knife to cut thru bolt with zero deformation, you just need an obtuse one.

This is a very good example.

Answering the bolded part. I can't argue with that. lol. If you plan on always cutting 1/4" steel, then build a shear cutter blade. A chisel. now I will watch your video, lol.

Video: So a thick wide blade, looks about 1/4" so pretty good blade geometry not a sharpened prybar. However, it did sustain edge damage. He glanced over the edge real quick. But you could see the indentations in the edge. Expected.
 
I like using my INFI when I have the chance. :)

Negative sir. I said (or meant) I couldn't find any information on a busse that is similar to an SRK. Meaning I can find any videos of a busse with a 1.5" wide 6" blade thinner than. 2" thick.

I still haven't seen any videos of an infidu, hog muk, or any of the smaller busses. Just the big chopping bad asses.

I want to see some pics of badger hard use

No videos, but my pics of my knives.
Boss Jack, very similar to SRK

Some B11 flex until the INFI, by returning to straight & true rather than taking a 'set', popped the wood in half.

Oh, and this custom TTKZ cost more than a satin WTF. ;)

You may search for the thread where I posted a link to a private youtube video on this forum of chopping up a deer with a gladius. You won't find it on youtube, but it's there. I still haven't posted up my video of chopping up an 800+ pound yak cow with a long butaniku, but will some day after snow is on the ground and I have the time.
 
Yeah, INFI flexes very nicely. :)

Awesome pics Tim! Well, except the twilight one :D

Thanks and... well... it is the great Pacific North West where there are rumors of sasquatch to be found out in the woods. Apparently some are just the light coated version like the one in that pic. :D

Now you are talking ridiculous geometry of bolt cutters. I agree but no knife will have that geometry so it makes no sense

No knife? I've seen Busse TGLBs with over 25 per side on 0.070": That is over a 50 degree wedge sitting on nearly two mms of solid metal. Is that really so far from bolt cutters angles? Bolt cutters are at least a little under 90 degrees inclusive, so a modest size knife like the TGLB can be well over half that...

Cutting apples is a long way away in either case... I won't even mention cutting tomatoes...

Bolt cutters are at least 90 inclusive and almost certainly a lot more. I have a few. So not even close to 50 inclusive. But I agree that 50 is not necessary for Busse knives.

You've seen that where exactly? I'm calling BS. How many TGLB do you own? You base that claim on what exactly?

The fixed blades you like won't even hold up to light wood chopping with your "special edges". You are talking out of your buttcheeks.

Your hollow handles probably won't hold much water here. They won't even chop a branch without the edges folding up and chipping off. That's poor performance, no matter how you spin it. :/

I have to say, I'm extremely intrigued by your "unobtrusive" method of carry. Can you expound on it more here please?

I can definitely say I have noted many Busse's edges come with similar geometry at the edge, roughly 25-30 degrees per side on .060-080" thickness behind the edge. Though it seems recently the edge geometry on many I have seen has been geared more for non-abusive cutting… at least regarding thickness behind the edge (they are still not hyper acute).
