We have a 50'ish degree sunny warm spring afternoon here in the Great Northwet. So I grab my Busse Basic 9 and git my butt outside to spend a few hours bustin' up windfall fir branches. The dang things drop branches worse than the trail of empty scotch bottles strewn behind Jerry on a good night of imbibing the Nectar Of The Gods.
After the choppin' chores were done I came in the house, washed the Basic 9 down with some ammoniated cleaner fluid to get the sap and gunk off the blade. Upon inspection, the edge felt a little less sharp than I remember it being at the start of the day, which is pretty impressive given the whuppin' I'd been doin' on the branches. So I start stropping the knife's edge on a diamond-coated steel (flat side only of the asymetrical edge). After literally no more than a dozen strokes, the Basic beastie is shredding newsprint confetti like mad and creating a new BBS (Busse bald spot) on the back of my hand.
So my question is:
"Hey Boss Hog, how the hell am I ever gonna justify to Mrs Rok having all these Busse blades layin' around the place when I can't even hurt, let alone kill, my primary user Busse?"
"How?? Huh...... How? Huh..... Huh..... ?????"
Thanks for makin' such indestructo knives, Boss. I'm still lovin' em and how they work.
