Does anyone actually USE their Busse knives?

Hurricane Rita uprooted a great big old pine tree next to my house, leaving a hole with a lot of standing water in it. A an amazingly fast growing willow tree planted itself at the edge of the hole, and grew to 15 or 20 feet in just a couple years. Then it got blown over in some relatively minor storm, so I cut it down with a FBM LE.

But the damned thing grew back twice as fast, and when Ike blew through last year, the tree got blown over again, and I cut it down a second time with my HOG edition ASH-1. At least I think that's what that was.

Whatever it was, the damned willow tree just won't die, and it's almost ready for the next big storm.


ETA: And no, smart guy, it's not the back yard. It's the side yard.

Big +1 to that. Also, when I'm using a knife in the woods, I'm far less likely to be wasting time with a camera. Messing around at home, I'm trying to document the performance of a blade, or take some pictures to share with the guys on the forum. In the woods, I'm trying to cook my dinner or warm my bones. Pictures are the last thing on my mind when using a blade "for real".


But those "for real" usages are generally a lot more comfortable because my backyard testing already confirmed for me that the knife performs the way I want it to.

Exactly what I mean, when I make a fire at home, I use natural tinder and a fire steel. It's very good practice. I can have a roaring bon fire in a minute with a gas can and a lighter though.

No disrespect to Busse knives intended....I do have to laugh sometimes at how they are "used".....Busse knives are the awesomest!!!!



Wonder how many owners chopping wood up in the back yard ever go camping...Wonder how many who do have ever been in a "situation"? Nothing against being prepared, but let's be honest, most people, not saying you, are just playing with their toys....



And walking is safer than driving...I heat with wood; don't think I will be batoning 6 cords of wood a year anytime soon.....




Ain't judging anyone, just questioning what some call "using"....Again, no disrespect.....we all have our toys....let's just be honest about it....

You are trolling, and a dedicated troll at that with over 100 posts and a Busse dedicated name.

The majority of the owners here are very into the outdoors. In better weather especially I hike mountain trails every single day up until winter, then it is less often in the snow, but I still make it outdoors.

Why are judging everyone? You split wood for home heating? Why are you using a splitting maul, you should get an expensive wood splitter, much faster.

BTW Busse lover, post some pics of your Busses... Please.

This question gets asked a time or two per month at least.


I EDC either a GW or a modded SS every day. Most use I get I don't have my camera handy, or if I do have it here, I don't bother to take a pic.

The very first thing my Ash1 GC got used for was to butcher an elk. Not just gut or skin, butcher and pack the entire beastie. I did not have my camera there, besides my hands were all bloody and sticky. Seems like the best use there is no camera handy.
