Competition Cutter Preorder

Martin and Don, like I had said if we can sell ourselves on the idea of using one as a cleaver, albeit a very expensive one, we can then justify buying and owning one? :p :D

Please don't let me give you guys stupid ideas because I'm sure that this BSCC is not meant to be hacked into things like bones!!! It's like taking a Ferrari 4wheeling ;)

If I had bill gates money I would totally put a Ferrari on a blazer frame and taker 4 wheeling. I’m just that kinda special!
 
From the preorder thread...


Part of the reason that Dan and I are doing this project is to expand BladeSports and make it more accessible. So, if you buy one of these knives and pursue and compete in Bladesports we will pay to get you started. Specifically we will reimburse you $150 which will cover your BladeSports training, your first year of BladeSports membership and your first race with a little bit left over for gas and a cup of coffee. All you have to do is buy a knife and demonstrate within one year that you've competed in a BSI sanctioned race event and I will mail you a check. If you are already BSI certified and are competing in races you can deduct that $150 from the price. Get out there and cut!


This may be one of the single most awesome things I've seen in awhile. I mean, who does that?!? What an awesome promotion and a great way to generate interest in the sport! Very cool.

Mind blown.

Edit to add - mind blown, and also just cut the tip of my thumb while reading this! I was folding up my pocket knife, after cutting my lunch (beef tenderloin if you must know), while reading this piece of the sales order. Looked down and blood everywhere. Jeesh!

I’m gonna let this one pass.

May sound odd, but being off work for 4 months with no pay due to this broken foot really changed my perspective on my hobbies.

But I think what Dan and Nathan offer with the incentive to join BSI is awesome and I hope a lot of people who get into this limited offering take them up on it.

Yeah I think the MC would be ideal for that, but it won't hang with a CC like a BC can. But yes, I think the MC would be the most practical.

Nathan,

From a learning perspective, would it be better to get this thing with the thick edge rather than the racing edge if you are just getting into this stuff? Any logic in having a thick edge for training and a racing edge for competition days? Thanks!

Grenock Grenock I don't presume to answer for Nathan, but here's my (complete novice, not even novice, really, just an uninformed bystander) opinion...

Use your race gear to train good racing techniques. A thick edge will let you get away with bad technique that could be harder to break out of later? Train right from the get go.

'at's all I got.
 
Dan won't let just anybody use his race knife because a wonky hit could wreck it. It was interesting when we were doing the LC development, Lorien and I both managed to bend bevels, but Dan's knife was fine despite the fact he hits much harder. A skilled cutter who is competitive at the highest level can and should use the thin race setup, but if you're just learning and you're risk averse you might prefer the thicker knife, though it will cost you a few extra hits in the 2X4 and could make the difference in a rope cut and the water bottles etc. It boils down to your skill level and risk tolerance. The knife is not fragile, but it's not overbuilt either.
 
Tracking with you on that Tony, and I would agree. Maybe a more accurate question is should a totally noob like myself get the thick edge because he doesn't know what the hell he is doing or go race edge from the start? Is it possible to damage the race edge in a knife ruining manner if you are hamfisted?
