Busse Combat

AntDog said:
In other words, you like this knife somewhat, but to be perfect in your eyes it would have to be completely the opposite of what it is...

:rolleyes:

Not the opposite, but as it is, it looks to me like training rubber knife IMO,,,,but nice nickel silver or stainless hardware,combined with wooden scales plus coating off the blade, finished in nice mirror polish would give that blade beautiful classic taste, that's all

No problem, anytime mate! No, I am not going to get any Busse anytime soon, because I am filling piggybank for few large Randall models 12 at this moment in long haul term.... In short term another piggybank for two other knives, Kyzliar DV 2 c and for so much hated by few individuals here in BF - famous Outback Bowie, just to see for myself where it really stands....

I just want to make sure I got this all straight (and maybe save other folks a lot of time sorting through posts)....the DUK Outback...the knife that all other knives are to be judged by....this knife....

Why you keep commenting on DUK in relation to Busse so frequently I can only explain, that you know I liked one of their knives (The Outback) - which is according to me hell lot of quality, durable massive blade manufactured with the leather sheath for 190bucks USD,,,,,

...the knife whose quality you have defended tooth and nail....the knife you have used to claim Busses are overpriced....you dont have one. Correct?

I think we figured this all out a while ago:

Let's all pay close attention to the last post in the above thread.

And the phrase used to describe the banned from here, unknown country of manufacture, low quality DUKs was "undeniable quality". :rolleyes:

Looks like I knew also! Oh well, tough to keep track of things sometimes.

Well, I am hoping our friend really saves his pennies and actually gets the darn thing soon and makes fools of all us naysayers and haters.
 
Those, who are judging me here for what I like and what I don't - claim following: , I must own it before being able to express my feeling or opinion about it......

The very same people,,,,, however feel somehow entitled to judging me and criticise very same knife,,, without ever owning it..... and with no first hand experience, as they demand from me....

Who is the fool here, its clear to me.

I don't take away from you, your own taste in blades and your own instinct about what is good and bad for you and most certainly never trying to make fools out of you guys, and apart from some of you, I can accept and understand your preferences and liking here, while you are unable to do the same and seemingly are not willing to stop in what you are up to in this matter....

Best of luck to you, I am laughing on some posts here :) :) :)

So of all the knives you have spoken about in this thread, whether you hated on them like Busse or loved them like randel and DUK, which ones have you owned and what are your experiences with them?

You see, expressing opinion is fine. However to have credibility you must have experience in what your are expressing opinion about. I don't think that is too much too ask. You have claimed that DUK has "undeniable quality" yet you have never used one. How are we supposed to take your opinion on DUK as credible?

The only experience I have with DUK is exactly what I state and not one bit of it is opinion, it is fact. Banned from here. Won't say where they are made. Shady company. The other knives I has expressed opinion on are knives I own and use. You will not gain credibility here endlessly praising and arguing to the death in favor of knives you have never owned. Sorry.

oh i think most knife guys want one, but they aren't super easily had. the flippers try to corner the market and supply and drive the prices up. the made in batches setup move fast..... snooze you lose routine. they aren't exactly cheap(and for good reasons. good materials done well, high quality, top notch warranty and very high demand for the supply). money issues aside i'd imagine everyone would would like a piece of infi steel. i know i would. only the ultimate stubborns would pretend to not want one.....

Please. Everyone wants one? You're projecting.

I have read your thoughts and of course, personal experience have the most credibility despite of what rest of the world may say or think.... individuality (be leader rather then follower),,,, I never followed what I didn't like, if thousand people may say yes, I dare to say no, if I feel like it....The same standard shall be used vice versa, if someone say - the knife sucks and is piece of sh.t,,, than I shall too ask,,, based on what he keep saying it.Because of video? Because others keep saying that? Because I don't like person who run that company? ,,,, if I 'll make claim knife is garbage - I ll be asked if I can back it up with experience, so there you go, you are on the same boat with me like the other one or two guys here... For me, your claims are not credible enough about the knives, justifying it based on your repeated reasons.... If the company was banned and what was really behind it, who knows.....?! - Does that mean their knife is therefore garbage? No,not for me....If someone abused their product to the maximum limits and misused the knife and even honestly stating that number of times wowing toughness of blade and it's edge,,,,thanks to what he caused some damage to it, does it mean knife is garbage? No,not for me... But,,,, maybe, after experience I will come and agree with all claiming it's piece of... sh.t too,,,,however I was so far never regretting any knife that I got, as I have probably good sixth sense about what I am getting and what I am expecting from it....

Let's let the Busse thread being focused on Busse and not any other brand,,,, there are other Threads where Dundee Bowie design or DUK was being related to,,,,, if you can agree with me at least on this, would be great. The question of this topic has been answered here multiple times,but maybe someone has something more to write for others here in relation to it....

Back to Busse pls.
 
It always amazes me how people jump to defend anything Busse does-even to the point of saying they're doing you a favor by not including even a basic sheath in spite of what is a hefty price tag on all of their models. Let's stop kidding ourselves.

I don't want a basic sheath. Do you? I factor the price of a knife to include a sheath I want and will carry. If the price of a knife comes with a crap sheath I factor that into the price. With Busse you can factor your own price for a sheath. Carry that thing how you want! Far worse to get a great knife with a crap sheath that you have to upgrade anyway...you paid for that crap sheath and didn't get what you want even considering the knife plus sheath cost.

Busse knives have a hefty price tag because you get what you pay for. Why include a sheath that is not worthy of the knife? I will pay a hefty price for a nice knife but don't waste your time and my money on a crappy sheath included with it. Jerry Busse knows what he is doing...trust me. I don't know who is kidding who... the people who just want a nice knife and are willing to pay for the best or the people who are just mad because they can't have everything they want all at the same exact time.
