Yep, most people go hunting with dogs but we use bears. We have big pigs here
Ha! That cracks me up I'm used to seeing this rather than your view

When you live and work on a large ranch and are constantly having to drop what you are doing to go get the "correct " tool you eventually say f#*k it and use the tool that is always at your side. I can't always carry a toolbox with me, and yes I do like to prove that my knives can handle whatever I throw at them. It is the only way to truly test if they will hold up in extreme situations.I don't understand maybe... What's the point of using fine knives in place of other tools like screwdrivers hammers crowbar or axes? Just to prove you can or how tough the knife is?
IMO because it's fun, there's no worry because the Busse warranty has you absolutely covered, instead of carrying a bunch of tools you carry one that may not be the best for certain things but can still be made to function. Hard to wedge a hammer between something and pry, can't cut with a pry bar, busses will hammer, pry, and cut. An argument could be made for survival/ resourcefulness skill building where you learn how to do many different tasks with one tool rather than counting on having multiple task specific tools, you have the confidence of knowing you can at least get the job done with the one tool, in this case a busse knife.It seems like putting a trailer hitch on your corvette and hauling cows to me.
I hear ya! I do a lot of ac and electrical work on beach houses up on pilings, plenty of pry bars and hammers in the work truck, but when you're in a boiling hot attic on the second floor and have already made quite a few trips down your ladder and two flights of stairs, you're Klein pliers and game warden pretty much become whatever tool you need them to be.When you live and work on a large ranch and are constantly having to drop what you are doing to go get the "correct " tool you eventually say f#*k it and use the tool that is always at your side.

What's the point? That's easy: Convenience, expedience, efficiency, take your pick or the lump sum. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't wear screwdrivers, hammers, crowbars or axes on my belt everyday. Do you? I do however, wear a Busse everyday so when something needs doing where my knife and I are at, it gets done without wasting time going to fetch something else. A Busse being a fine knife made of fine steel with a fine warranty makes it a fine tool to USE and carry everyday. Life is too short to watch good opportunities and time pass by because of a price tag.I don't understand maybe...

If your corvette was overbuilt like a Busse, with a lifetime warranty, you probably could. Problem with a corvette is the heat treatment is in all the wrong places, there's no frame/tang, and the whole thing is Christmas wrapped in a G10 handle. Busse used a Hummer to haul their trailer to shows a few years back, not sure what they use now. The point is, a Hummer ain't cheap, but is just about tough enough to be used like a farm truck if the need arises, where a corvette is more like some of Busse's competition in the knife industry. Never outlive your usefulness or be too pretty to be useful works similarly for people, animals AND tools.It seems like putting a trailer hitch on your corvette and hauling cows to me.
So did you break your Ran while cutting watermelons? I never saw pics. Stop trollin' and move along.I don't understand maybe... What's the point of using fine knives in place of other tools like screwdrivers hammers crowbar or axes? Just to prove you can or how tough the knife is?
More than once they have helped me keep on truckin', but this past winter I actually had a chance to capture one of those occasions on camera. It is a good sample of heavy hauling 105,500 lb loads through the Rockies in winter too.
