Does anyone know a story of this undamaged Busse?

Yes, I know her story : it is my beloved Battle Mistress.

I do not have a lot of money. So each Busse knife I own (4) represents a lot of $$$ sacrifices. I take care of them because they are expensives knives, but first of all because their quality is extraordinary. Even if I have seen a lot of (and enough) informatives tests and proofs about their robustness, I do not need to chop concrete, or bricks, or knives (!!!:barf:) or whatever... I can cut a big chunk of solid wood, a tree trunk with my Busse, and that is enough for me : it will not break, and it will stays sharp to continue its work.
This weekend I was into the woods with this CGFBM to cut his first Christmas tree to my son. Back to my house, I decided to clean the few spots of rust (snow and kydex sheath...) and to polish by hand the angles of the front guard, the rear talon, the pommel and the back. Nothing exceptional you know. She is just much more comfortable now. And more beloved.

This CGFBM is my user knife for big tasks. It is may be just a tool, but I love it. And because I do not abuse it, because I respect it, undoubtedly it will last my lifetime, and I will passing it to my son.

and then your son is gonna beat the almighty hell out of it like his old man should've. :D

joking!

gotta love those curves and lines. one day I hope i can get my hands on the right BM to not abuse.
 
Ha, good one.

I really like your FBM for some reason. The strip, and blue finish just seems to work for it.

No polish or Tom-Foolery, just a good honest working knife.

That's because you don't have an uncontrollable urge for attention from complete strangers. This is a serious "psychological problem" you've got there, my friend...;)

Looking Good :thumbup:
 
Awesome job on the CGFBM i always like the way you do your Busse's up with the blueing. True too your Mistress will take care of you if you have respect and take care of her. ;)
 
Finally, a voice of reason in a storm of...well, I'm sure you can guess.;)

I've always admired those who don't take for granted what they have, those who are smart enough to know what they have when they have it and what really is important in the grand scheme. I suspect your son will cherish that knife even more when he finally gets it simply because it was so important and useful to you during your life.

Thanks for your post. Awesome knife! :thumbup:
 
Some great shots of what these knives can do. I hope you are still chopping away with my old FSH! I like how you smoothed the handles on it.
 
Very nice !
I have a FFBM that I stripped and it's by far my favorite knife. The thing is quite heavy but it chops like a maniac.
Coupchoux: you need a FFBM as your next knife
 
Coupchoux, I think you need to see a doctor, you seem to have some gangrene going on in your fingers :confused:
