I am seeing more and more "battered and beaten" Busse knives being collected in their "as is" condition, without being refurbished, . . . . and it ROCKS!!!:cool:

Forgive me. . . I'm afraid I'm getting veclempt (sp?)!!!!!

Yours in Nuclear Scarred blades,

Jerry, If it makes you feel better... I got a BM-E from a guy who told me he used it in a wildfire fight, to dig, chop, cut, and other things... the finish had obvious evidence of harsh use... the steel was in near perfect condition. I have already been beating her more and more...everytime she comes up laughing... this one will not be getting sent to you for years... I will try to get a pic soon.
 
See? It's true!

"The greatest compliment to a craftsman is to USE his product!"
 
Jerry if it would make you feel better, I can go and wipe off the mineral oil coating on some of my safe queens. That should let them know who is boss!
 
ALL of my Busses are beaters! I cut things with 'em that I wouldn't want to cut with an "ordinary" knife. If I break 'em, what the hell, Jerry's got more.

What a great warranty!
 
Bah, these things were made to be used. Anything that happens to them just adds character.

However, I should probably steel out the stone nicks in the edge from time to time... :rolleyes: ;)
 
You bunch of safequeen cowboys!!!;)

Wheres the abuse pics!?

I will post one up this arvo of how they are suppose to look! Crinkle coat, bah!

:D
 
Here's an example;)

Gundy, that's pretty awesome too! :eek: (though most of that love was previously handed out, no?) Give it the old home refurb job ;)

Just curious gundster, is that the Ranger's SH? That is one sweet blade man!
 
...Andrew, my love will be added to this beast like years to an already aged Whiskey...;)

It will be getting a sharpen, and then....blammo!

Rangers? Could be....
