I have collected knives for many years and finally I received my first FBM last month. The following is my opinion only.
Upon first seeing the knife i was impressed with its build and balance (tick)
Upon using the knife I was even more impressed with how such a big blade could be used for such a variety of tasks. I could chop trees, bones and even fillet fish or dig holes. (tick)
The edge while being super resistant was probably the easiest steel I have ever sharpened with. Resharpening with the use of a strop was simple and quick (tick)
After a hard day at the office, the blade cleaned up fine, no marks or scratches (satin finish) (tick)
The bending strength of the steel (I did not want to stress it all the way) is incredible. Stronger than any other knife I own. (tick)
So is the reputation of Busse False? NO WAY. It is an incredible product, one that I am still trying to get my head around. How can a knife be so perfect? Strong, easy to sharpen, great ergonomics. Well done Busse, the FBM has won my heart.:thumbup: Is everyone else here (who own a variety of knives) of the same opinion? Why is INFI so incredible and are there steels that compare?
