Great thread.
Im game for a new thread though.
Wonder how i could get a knife of my design in there for testing. (I love tests and well done write ups like this)

I'd test the he'll out of your knife. I'd write a honest and thorough review as well.

Issue would be that I don't have any particularly good choppers. I've got a Busse TGLB I use for all of my bushcrafting shenanigans. It'd have to compare to that knife in terms of the build.

Whats the specs on that? I mught be able to make something of similar caliber with different geometry designed for chopping :cool::D

I have lots and Lots Of CPM 3V laying around (0.187, 0.227)
 
I remember reading the earlier part of this thread awhile ago. I bet neither would fare very well against the bb13 today.

7.75" blade 13.25" over all length

Ive got just the thing.
Camp Kaiju .
8 inch blade.
Convex ground 3V
5 inch handle.
I'll give the extra blade length because its 0.220/0.227 stock so slightly thinner.

I'll make one for testing. You will have the option to buy it after testing if you like.
Should look similar to this qith a slightly longer blade (this was a prototype 7.3 inch blade)Screenshot_20180713-102253_Gallery.jpg

Dude, I would jump at the chance!

I will post some pics of my TGLB for reference and as eye candy.

Email me at seppukuswordsman at gmail.com for communications. Excited!

So I'm not allowed to celebrate owning 2 knives that perform better than one I can't afford ? Where is THAT written ? :confused: Cold Steel is a BF supporter with a Manufactures Forum , so chill out !

Try a bb13, they’re affordable in used condition, same price as a new sanmai trailmaster! The busse he was comparing it to did not have the length to be a true test of the steel’s abilities, imo. Plus they can’t be broken(ymmv).

Hi Shannon
I would be willing to test your knife in the the NEW test - also some others if needed. PM me on how to get one :D
I have been out of the forums for some time but my interest in knives are stronger then ever :)
Should there be some dogmas for the test - thinking length, edge grit etc?

Cheers,

André

Busse. Stands for “basic bolo 13”.” Available in sr-101 as bg, or battle grade and infi, as cg or combat grade.

Sounds like an interesting blade - 13"? Think the NEW test should be Trail camp knives 8-10" but I am willing to throw in a wild card like I did with the CS Kukri. We should test best grade stels from the different manufactures.

Cheers,

André

Great design :) very classic and like the old Bill Moran Rio Grande Bowie ja?

We should most defiantly have a 3V knife in the test.
I would also make this test a bit longer with more tasks and testing after resharpening.

Cheers,

André

Ive never seen that bowie you mentioned.
This knife was designed for a customer that wanted something Similar to a survive knives 7.1? Im not familiar with the models.
I put my own spin on it and made it my own

Its now one of more popular larger knives.
I have made them in Cpm 3V and in Z-Finit.
I would like to build one in Zwear when i get more stock and free time. Lots of big knives on the list!

We should start a new thread for the new test. Make it easy to find!
