Breaking knives

What good is the warantee if you're just past the back of nowhere and your knife breaks?
Warantees are good.
Great warantees are better.
But when you're out on your own they don't mean much till you get home.

OK we have already solved this, knives don't break, people break them doing things they shouldn't be used for. This has been pretty well established, the question now is why should I spend a lot of money on a knife that won't break when I use it for a prybar but it doesn't cut very well, when I can spend less on a knife that cuts very well and a prybar that pries better than a knife.

See, that's the mistake you keep making..........ASSuming that it a knife is "bulletproof" it is, therefore, too thick to do anything with, including cutting.

You admit to not owning Busse's, yet that doesn't affect your bashing of them.

Do they make thick knives? Absolutely. Do they ALSO make thinner knives that cut like a dream, yet are still "bulletproof?" ABSOLUTELY !

.
 
But, like someone already posted.......

fill your pack with what YOU want and call it "good"

.
 
The only thing I have "bashed" is people's opinions, and silly statements like "what if you have dig through ice to get to water or chop though bone".

I would love to have a busse, send me one and I will do a full review. Chris

No. If it were free, you wouldn't appreciate it at all. Much like my children. Besides, I don't need your review.

If I sent you one, it would be for YOU to learn..........and you've already stated that you're unwilling to do so.

In Chris's defense, he never attacked Busses specifically. I was the one who kept substituting the Busse line for what he was calling "bulletproof" knives.

You could just as easily say he was talking about Fehrman knives or some of the Cold Steel knives (if you believe Lynn Thompson).

Another good idea.

I think we can Market this thing.:D

I just wonder if Guyon can keep up with Demand?:eek:

That depends. Can you keep me in steady supply of broken Camillus BK-11's?

My suggestion is to find a cache of old-stock somewhere and then use them all to pry boulders off your leg.
 
FWIW, I live in Tennessee. Do I really need a 4WD truck? Not so much. I've only really needed it once when I was hunting and once when it snowed pretty heavily in the three years I've owned the truck.

Do I like having it just in case? Damn sure do.

I think a lot of folks here have a case of "just in casies." :p

One of my cousins named his child Justin Casey. He should have been beaten in public prior to paying for a name change for his boy.

Come on Dave, the things I appreciate the most are free.

I can't learn by myself so help me, I still haven't seen the need for these ultra knives, and I am still waiting on one solid, useful reason besides "I like them". Chris

I can see this as a problem.:eek:

I'm still trying to buy my first necker.

Thinking of the production line.


How many Neckers did you say you own?:D :D

I honestly only own one now. I have two in my possession, but one of them is sold and needs to ship out today or tomorrow.

Great little knife, and it was an absolute steal back when they were selling for $30. But there are some other good designs in the skeletonized neck knives: Busse Skeleton Warden or Assault Shaker, Fehrman Thru Hiker, for example. I want to try out some of these as well.

Looks like Chris may have a Necker for you. Please have him send it to me, and I'll encase it in Quickrete for you before shipping it on your way. :thumbup:

How do you help someone learn that refuses to do so?

See ? Case in point. You've been given several. Guyon mentioned the "bulletproof warranty" more than once.

Edge holding is another. (a quality that even you mentioned is important)

Structural integrity is yet another. (it's very hard to break/snap, even when prying with it)

And I'm talking about a Busse model that would probably fit in your usefulness category, the Meaner Street, currently semi-available thru the Company Store at actual retail. It has a 4.5" blade and is about .170 or so thick and cuts and slices with the best of them.

I'm willing to learn.
 
Guyron,

I guess we'll have to go to plan B and make the neckers from wood for the production line.

Just lay the rubber coating on real thick and maybe no one will notice.:eek: :D

Bent steel cable. :thumbup: 35 pounds of quickrete is nothing to sneeze at. I'll just say I had to grind off the bottle opener due to OSHA guidelines:

Article 14, section 7.2, paragraph B: "No implement for manually opening cans or bottles may exceed 27.5 pounds."
