Bought a Steel Heart (Heavy Heart?) at the Easton show a couple weeks ago. Pics will follow soon, I'm at work now and just thought about sharing the news of my wonderful buy. Plus I've been busy putting it to use.:D
I heat my house largely with wood I cut from my property in the hills of Virginia. So, one of the first things I've done with it is make little sticks from big sticks. It is a suPERB chopper! AND, I even had the opportunity to experience the legendary durability of INFI when I went through the stick to the slate supporting my woodstove with force. Chips of slate flew around my room and where this impact HAS in the past damaged the edge of my hatchets there was not even a HINT of a scratch, dent or chip from the blade of the Heart!!:) One can hear and read all the stories they want but until you actually experience it, well, there's just now telling how that feels to know that you own a blade that can take you through hell and still be ready to chop and cut whatever you need...This is probably the best purchase I've made in many MANY years.:thumbup:

This makes my third Busse, the other two are an Active Duty and a Badger Attack.
 
Great grab! :thumbup:
You'll have many more Busses before too long. :eek::thumbup:

pics?
 
YOu've got your three bases covered of small, medium and large.. Your choices are excellent. The new Busse FSH HH you picked out at Easton is a great looking knife. I can't wait to get one of those myself, but unless Jerry has a GAnzaa between now and the next knob creek, it will be a while. Have you got a sheath for your Beasties yet?
looking forward of seeing some pics of that solid bolt HHFSH
 
If it's anything like the FSH I got at Blade West, it's not a true Heavy Heart, but is the same thickness as a HH. The heavy heart, if I recall correctly, had a saber grind. The one I snagged at Blade West is full flat.

Very cool blade... looking forward to pictures of yours.

Was yours coated or was it the sexy satin version with the smooth bolts? The smooth bolt ones, IIRC, were saber ground.

I attatched a pic from my facebook page which had saved to about 66Kb. How do you compress pics from 2mb to 100kb??

Sexy Satin, smooth bolts, and nicley hand smoothed Micarta handle. I managed to get a pic attatched but need advice regarding how to compress files and how to get them to post BIG in the main body of the reply...

Wherever you have the picture hosted, you need to put the URL to the larger picture in between image tags, like this: [ img ] http://yourpicturehere.com/picture.jpg [ /img ] (only remove the spaces between the brackets and "img")


What I usually do is upload my pictures to flickr.com, and then view the full size version of them, right click on the image and choose "copy image location" (in firefox), then come over here and paste it in between the image tags.


Sounds complicated until you've done it.
 
If you host on Photobucket, each pic will have four tags underneath the image:

1. Email and IM
2. Direct Link
3. HTML code
4. IMG code

Just copy the IMG code and paste directly into the Message box here, no need to use any BF commands.
 
Makes me wanna fondle mine again - like I did last night when I read this the first time. LOL

It's smoothy. :)
 
Smooth bolt steel hearts are SEXY...

Wish I was keeping this one, but too rich for my blood.
 
Thanks to all y'all for the tips on posting pics in the main body for the future. I guess that's next on my list of things to do, check into photobucket and other such pic hosts.
I have definatly been more than pleased with this blade. I can't see me parting with it or getting another to fill it's place. Well, except perhaps to add a Bushwacker Mistress to the trough, which is definatly on my to do list:D
Now to decide on a name for my new sweetie;)
