With no disrespect to either manufacturer intended, I would like to know if anyone has had experience with both the Chris Reeve fixed blades and the Busse and which one they feel is the better knife.
I've been reading the posts on both boards and both seem to be very highly regarded by their owners. I guess my question is, what makes the Busse better, if in fact the concensus is that it is better. I take it that the INFI is somewhat more indestructable than the A2 used by Reeve but then, how many of you have heard of broken Reeves? Also the question of blade design. Who does the best job here? One thing about the Reeves that I noticed from photos is that the handle design doesn't look particularly comfortable but of course I've never held one so that might not be true.
Bottom line, I want to buy a fixed blade knife with a 4 1/2" to a 6" blade but there are no local dealers I know of where I can actually examine the knives for comparison.
Any help or opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
