Busse Combat ... fighting knives?

Cliff Stamp · Jul 10, 2000

There is a thread in the review forums right now about fighting knives and how they should be evaluated :

Many of the tests involve very high stress pieces of work. Seem suited to any type of knives you know?

Thanks for bringing this here Cliff...Jerry has long advocated that a fighting knife needs to be inherently strong, as well as fast and lean.

My custom Nite Lite Bowie is 11 oz. but still reflects Busse Combat's fundamental approach to a serviceable combat knife...big width, full tang, a strong point, and a handle design which promotes knife retention under high shock loads.

Even the old straight handled Steel Heart II was a favorite among certain knife fighting experts...in fact, I can attest to at least two knife fighting experts picking up the E handle Steel Heart at the Blade Show and commenting on the excellent feel and potential combative application of the design.
