and so my education and questions continue...lol

tell me about the culti please:confused:
 
I know I love mine, esp the staight handle.

Many think its more of a steak knife, but at .125, plenty of belly and a great straight handle its the perfect knife for hunting/fishing or EDC.
I just put one of mine in my EDC rotation.

Feels better in hand than any of the small Busse's to me. But I do love a staight handle.
 
I really liked mine. The handle is very comfortable and the size makes it easy for EDC. While it looks like a steak knife I really like it. The only thing I had against mine was that as much as I sharpened it I could not get it to have a nice edge. It just seemed blunt to me, it would cut food and such fine but I couldn't get it to slice paper nicely. I know this is just my doing but since it was a custom shop piece I didn't feel comfortable in really getting after it. I am also not sure if it is because its 1/8" thick and the blade height is rather small. I traded it away a bit ago for another nice knife.

This is what mine looked like.

Around town and on short trips the Culti and the Game Warden are the go to blades. I have used the Culti on a whole chicken in the kitchen. It's weird how we feel that the Culti is a small blade where non knife folks still ask why you need such a big knife every time you pull it out to use. Carrying a straight knife is illegal in any circumstance (except traveling to or from hunting) here even though they removed the length restrictions on folding knives recently.
 
I have used most every Busse that would compare and for actually cutting the culti is the best IMO.

Especially, in a two knife system. A Mistress or Steel heart backed up with a small cutter like the Culti and you have it all.
 
Great EDC for around town and the paths.

I have a WHC and a Snake in my rotation. The Snake is for special occasions.

The WHC has been to Europe with me a few times. It's a great EDC. My WHC is a little thicker than the Snake, I convexed the edge a bit and makes for a great woodcraft / utility blade. If you hang out in the Wilderness forum, many chose a blade of similar dimensions for their goto blade. It won't pry open a car door :o, but for everything else, it rocks, and yes I've batoned it through some 2 and 3" branches.

I carry mine IWB in a Steelnut kydex, no attachment, it just tucks in my belt line and disappears.

With it's SAR5 brother.

Ken44's comment, I get that a lot, why do you need such a 'big' knife :confused::rolleyes:, it's not like I'm carrying a BM :eek:

I keep one in the kitchen... it probably gets the most use out of any other knife in there.

:cool:
 
My Wife thinks that the Culti is just a kitchen knife and that it should go with Her Thin N.I.C.K.

While She is ok with what the N.I.C.K. Cost She thinks the Culti a Bit expensive for a kitchen knife, I tell Her "That's Ok" "My Knife not Yours"

She is kind of Spoiled though, I Gifted Her The N.I.C.K. that I got for Roughly $300.00 in Trade a Few Years ago and Her Murray Carter's that I Got Back when I was the "Busse Guy" and Set up next to Murray.

He made Me a Pretty good deal on several, those were the first of what are now Five,

Two for my Wife to use.

Two for me to use.

One to just look at and Rub with a Diaper, (ok I have used it a few times but it is so sharp I am afraid that it will cut my eye just to look at it)

The Culti and the Bear Cub are currently my most commonly used Busse knives.
 
This is a Custom Shop Busse and appears to be the predecessor to the Cultellus. It is a one of 6, counting Jerry's & Garth's. It's 'official' name is the Fogo Steak Knife (Fogo de Chao Restaurant, yummy!). It's size is roughly the same as the Culti, but is of thicker blade stock.

Here is mine, with the playing card that won me the opportunity to buy it in the lottery contest at Fogo de Chao, Thursday night during the week of the BLADE show in 2007.

Here's a custom Culti from the CupidGanza...

These Cultelluses (Cultelli?) are cool little knives! Very handy in the kitchen and good for a small lightweight personal EDC fixed blade with thin blade stock, a convexed edge and minimal "sheeple" reaction in places where this is a larger concern. :thumbup:

Please excuse the crappy pix... & the dirty Culti, LOL, it is my user! :o

I had a minor issue with the natural material (giraffe bone) handles that Busse very graciously offered to take care of for me. The new bone handles look great, yes? :) Thank you, Garth! :thumbup:

They look like bone to me. Usually don't see bone that white, even when not dyed. A Bleached bone maybe, or just polished well???

They look great! I've never seen any like that, did they come from a ganza?


BTW- wanted to add that the tips of the cultie are thicker than that of the BAD's, and the same .125 stock which is standard on most hunting and bushcraft knives.

I can see them better in those last pics, and think your right about the dyed giraffe bone. The white really looks great with those mosaic pins!
