Busse vs Mora for Tomato Slicing Contest?

[resinguy]

Whichever one has been ground to slice will win? Edge angle and shoulder. Blade thickness.

This. "Geometry cuts." Cliff Stamp, circa 2006

Rob,

Thanks for the video! The MOAB did much better slicing than I expected. For those who don't know, the MOAB is about .35-.40" thick compared to the SY Elmax 340 at .095".

Maybe I NEED a MOAB for the kitchen, since it can handle anything from small tomatoes to watermelons!

This one is a smidge over .4". It's sharp and it slices, cuts, chops, batons, digs, prys and frightens.

It's highly likely that a Mora will slice tomatoes better than any Busse or Bussekin that I own, but I'd bet a lot of money that one of my ASH's will open a can of tomatoes faster and cleaner.

Thats IT!!!
Rob your a GENIUS!!!! :thumbup:
Now I know how to justify a MOAB to the wife!!!
"But I NEED it for the kitchen honey! It slices tomatoes, cuts, chops, and I can split a cantaloupe in one slice! Heck, it'll scare the cantaloupe into chunks!!!"

That's the beauty of a knife like this. You just wave it about and the work takes care of itself. Very little effort required.

Plus, whip out a Mora to show your friends and the reaction will be 'frrp'. Whip out a MOAB and it's 'HOLY F@#K YEAH ON RAISIN TOAST WRAPPED IN BACON!!! HOLD MY BEER...'.

That video is a beautiful thing, Rob--thanks for that demonstration. :thumbup:

BTW, it takes a REAL man to "whip out" a MOAB. You ARE da man!
