The corrugated bevel strengthens the blade, reduces the overall weight, and reduces the cutting friction along the entire height of the bevel.

And this thread needs a photo or two. Picked this up a few years ago from a member of the forum here. This picture was his from the sales thread, he might remember it.

Funny thing, I was just thinking a few days ago that I needed a MOFBM. Now I KNOW that I need a MOFBM. Sweet blade dude
 
...More pix???

:D

I love CBT.

Real bad iPhone pics of my CF snakeskin FBM with red liners by the Custom Shop:

I'm not sure I agree that the CBT strengthens the blade, just don't see how removing metal can add strength.....:confused:

Wow, you really doubt Jerry himself?

Here is a quote from an older thread, I believe it was his announcement on the HellRazor, but am not totally certain on the model.

Here it is boys!!! One of the meanest models to ever escape the Busse Combat Shop!!! This is one of two new models that will be going up within the next ten days!!!!

Blade length = 6 3/4"
Blade Thickness = 3/16"
SF Handles

This pic clearly shows our patent pending Corrugated Bevel Technology (CBT). The corrugated bevel not only greatly strengthens the blade but reduces the overall weight of the blade while reducing the cutting friction along the entire height of the bevel.

Please give the pic a moment to load.

Thanks for the link, if that's what Jerry said I'll take his word for it. I'm still having a hard time seeing how it's possible though, can anybody explain?

It's adds lateral strength, just like a fluted rifle barrel, by adding surface area
 
Took me an eternity to find one of the Knob Creek HG-55's in competition finish but I finally found one.

I always loved the CBT models but I felt the blade coatings partially defeated the purpose of reducing the friction the CBT was designed for. Hence my love for naked CBT models.

Now who can name the current production blade that has CBT?

The only models that I am aware of as current production and available for order on the Busse site are the TGLB, AMS, and Argonne Assault. None of those have CBT. Or are you talking about something available at a show, or a Kin knife?
If your talking about Kin, there is the Hot Diggity Dog Dagger
 
Here's a terrible pic of my Hell Razor with some of her friends.



The CBT is really a good look on the HR.

Do the corrugated bevels strengthen the blades? Yes and no.

If you take an non-corrugated knife and corrugate it, you will weaken it. The corrugated blade will also weigh less than it did before. Granted, the loss of strength might be of no
consequence, but it will be there.

If you make otherwise identical knives of equal weight, one without corrugations and one with, the corrugated blade will be stronger longitudinally to the corrugations.
On a per unit weight basis, the corrugated blade will be stronger than the non-corrugated. That's why Jerry mentions weight as well as strength in his statement.

On knives with equal maximum thicknesses, the non-corrugated will be both stronger and heavier than the corrugated.

Some have tried to use metal corrugated roofing material as an example of how corrugations would strengthen a blade. The cases are not analogous. The roofing material carries the same material thickness entirely through the corrugations, and a square of corrugated steel would weigh more than a square of the same dimensions but without corrugations. So corrugated roofing steel achieves greater bending strength but with greater weight per unit area also.

I am an electrical engineer not a materials or mechanical engineer so one of those may be able to cast more light on the topic. Also a discussion involving all of the possible variables would be so dry no one would want to read it, a result that I may have already achieved.

Nah. I think most busse fans are sticklers for details. Hence the addiction to INFI!
 
Definitely on at least specific editions. A further underscore on what's already a work of art.
