broken game warden

I don't expect to ever need the Busse warranty (although I definitely use mine), but it is a great feeling to know they stand behind their products 100%

Jerry is a wonderful example of integrity with cheerfulness. That's awesome.
 
From the company store:

The Game Warden has an overall length of 7" with a blade length of 3 inches and a handle length of 4 inches. It is an ideal EDC (Every Day Carry) knife that features an extra wide blade (Over 1 1/16 inch wide!) with a full height grind and thin edge configuration. While not designed for heavy and abusive prying, you can rest assured that you will "behold the power of INFI" in one of the most compact packages ever offered from the Busse Combat Shop!


Pretty good of Jerry to replace that knife!
 
I want to meet the crazy SOB that manages to break a FFBM. THAT will take some doing. Imagine the kind of force that would require. The post might go something like: "The 6" line cleat on my tugboat snapped off, and I really needed to get that supertanker into dock, so I used a hydraulic ram to plunge my mistress through the deck and tied off on the handle. I managed to get the ship in, but after I used an aloft winch to pull the knife back up and out of the deck plating, I noticed that the raptor hole had stress-fractured into a "C" shape. I thought these things were supposed to be indestructible!"

Not quite true. Cliff broke at LEAST a Basic-9. (Or was it a 7?) Granted, his "testing" is a bit extreme in nature.

What about the one batoned with a wrench last fall? Was that a Busse or a SR? I have forgotten.

You CAN break them. It just takes time and practice. ;)

I was about to post the same thing. It was a Basic 7 and if I remember the details, it took Cliff and his friends about 2 years of extreme abuse to break it. I used to have the pictures on my computer, but they are long gone. I do have a picture of the knife before it was broken. Take look at how much of the blade was ground away.

I seem to remember that in the early days of BF, the tip of a BM was broken off by putting it in a vise and bending it.

Totally forgot about that one. I remember seeing a post where Cliff stabbed/batoned it into a tree and used it as a step.

Actually, that's one SOB I'd really try not to ever meet :D

While I'm certain that a FFBM can be broken, I'm also quite certain it can't be done by hand by any man simply using it, without involving huge leverage (that is, intentional breaking attempt) or power tools.

Also, thank you, Boss Hog - your business attitude keeps restoring my faith in humanity in general. Kudos! :thumbup:

Cheers, Rok
 
imho, batoning a knife with anything other than hard wood is abuse, kind of like pounding a 5000 dollar loaded hunting rifle up a bears arse with a cinder block, unless it's a dire emergency.

but to each his own, jerry is a "stand up" guy for offering the warranty that he does. :thumbup:

I agree. I throw some of my Busse blades such as the ones in my pics and vids. But I understand that what I am doing is NOT what the knife/sword was designed for thus constitutes abuse. So I do not expect the warranty to cover it. But Jerry always goes WAY above and beyond.
 
Leave it to Skunk to bring a $5K rifle and a cinder block to a party w/ a bear.

Them Idahoians are sick, sick, sick!

Since you asked:
Regardless of the guarantee and the fact that Jerry will replace it if you send it in, you paid for a damn good knife (and got one) not a bull screwdriver. Suck up the loss and choose the right tool next time is what you SHOULD do. Or, continue to abuse them in any way you wish (after all they're yours) but don't expect someone to pay for them when you damage em. Do the right thing, just because it is right.

Use the right tool for the job. Prybars are cheap.

That's some great customer service.
 
The warranty is straight forward and to the point;We guarantee against any and all unintentional MAJOR damage forever. If you choose not to use it that's your choice. But I think your stance that someone using the warranty isn't doing the "right" thing is baloney.

I wouldn't pry with my warden unless it was a life or death situation and absolutely necessary. In that case, I would think that it would survive the prying if the fulcrum were farther back and not so near the tip.

Of course, if Chuck Norris were involved then all bets are off...
