My brother made his way back from Australia and showed me his three knives he carried. His Ontario Machete, a D2 Kabar I gave him years ago and the Busse Skinny Ash I gave him. He is "hard on knives" in the way that he will "neglect" them by not keeping them clean. And I guess sometimes when you are out camping and on the water for long durations daily he didn't really have a chance. They spent 7 months in the saltwater environment on the water daily.
Here are the three:
He was telling me how he used this all the time and even hacked a bicycle wheel off with it (It has sawteeth on both sides now):
Next is the Kabar D2 that he told me he has not really used since I gave him the Busse. Basically just along and "exposed" to the elements:
The pics don't show it well but this thing has rust coming out everywhere:
Last but not least is the Bussy Skinny Ash that he loves. He started to tell me how he made a spear out of it and a a piece of wood and I cringed. I was happy when he told me he used the Busse to make a spear!
Anyhow, he loves this knife and said he put it through a lot of abuse. I really think both the sheath and the knife held up great to extensive "real world use"...you know...actually using a knife because you NEED to
Hope you all enjoy the user pics and feedback. I was impressed that the Busse came back with no rust and no real edge damage.
