Guys, how about we get back to Fehrman and Busse, not Vasilli's blade angle. Thanks

Just agree that you both disagree with each others opinion.

If you have the means, I recommend the Busse NMSFNO. It is currently on the www.bussecombat.com web site. You can pick options to tailor it to your tastes and it will last your lifetime. 8" blade and good feel.

Question of the day - why won't Vasilli answer Cobalt?

Shows how he deals with differing opinions from his own. I am sure there are bread lines in his house:D He probably dispenses Vodka with an eye dropper.....I think even he would laugh at that one if he could....

Sure no problem, GW is relatively small knife so it is easy to get confused like this:

Thanks, Vassili.

P.S. It was re modified of course - again to 30 degree edge.

P.P.S. Sorry it was other side. Here the same:

and you may see how convexed edge is - probably 1/3 of the edge is actually convexed shoulders, especially close to tip - where coating is just get scratched out...

I have my mic at just over 0.20 inches and it is about the same as Noz 0.11. Move the space of his caliper up to the Knife logo at the logos ricasso., You will see that the space is almost the size of the logos width, mine is just a hair larger than his and I am at 0.2 ;)

So you can see at within the tip area where the damage is, the width is definitely 3/16 or more. Making the angle lower than what he said, but we'll let him believe what he wants. :D

also, take a look at the width of his GW and mine. His looks much narrower. GW's are all almost exactly the same width as they are CNC made. So he has definitely taken a lot of metal off this knife. Not good and probably messed up the HT:eek:
 
Can any brand new out of box busse knives cut 2000 cuts of rope upon delivery? The hype surrounding busse is great enough that I believe they have a great product, but people shouldnt need to sharpen upon delivery. If its dull on delivery its hard to fault a customer on his sharpening job. Customers arent pro sharpeners, thats why they pay alot.- to have a stock knife that does 2700 cuts
 
Vassilli I dont know if you can see this but can you post some pics of the knife in question. The one you just posted that you measured isnt the same knife is it? There is no coating on the one that dented.
 
Yes, this I noticed also.

Please post pics of the measurement of the area in question on the blade in question, not a similar one.

Also, given another assertion that was brought up, please post a pic of that blade along side of an unaltered, or minimally resharpened, GW.

I'm just trying to get this all straight in my mind.

Thank you,
Mike

So, you really have been showing us pictures of one knife's edge in order to somehow prove that another knife's edge is at 30degrees?

Wow.

good catch, the mic'd knife isn't even the knife in question, lol
 
So kiddies to get this back on track to the posters question,

which should the OP chose. :rolleyes:
 
Both, Busse and Fehrman, are great knives, but, thanks to INFI, Busse is the all-around BEST choice for a knife, Period!
 
Based on Vasilli's pictures and my 30 degree convexed GW I micked and calculated some and came to conclusion that the Vasilli's GW edge near the damaged area is fairly close to 30 degree, perhaps a 1 - 3 degree less is possible due to my measurement errors from picture perspective. There's a visible shoulder in the edge if you look at the tip and the edge, it's not a straight V at the tip. Vasilli did say it's somewhat convex because he has rounded the primary edge shoulders. The belly seems close to 25 - 30 degree too due to rounding the shoulders, also visible.

My GW has a 30 degree primary convex at the belly but a more robust 45 degree convex towards the tip. Reason for this is that the tip is often used to yank and pry. I loose finesse but gain durability. I have full trust in my modified GW, INFI gives me this opportunity to increase cutting ability without loosing durability.

The only thing that doesn't go well with me is the foam from the mouths of some that immediately jumped in to a Busse thread outside their usual playground to fight the fight. It's always like this around here.


bastid, may I leave this here? I think it adds to conversation although the wrong trail that it went...

The OP had already made a decision:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6291564&postcount=181

Posting a question/threat comparing Busse to any other knife on bladeforums is stupid.
It's like posting this question at the BC-forum.
We all know what the outcome will be.

Still I must say I'm surprised of the choice the OP made.
I don't believe he made his choice only based on this threat, or this forum.
