How do you guys thing this would perform as a chopper?

After using quite a bit of busses on a stump out back, I can only assume this would be a very DEEP biter. The Hollow grind on the TGLB cuts very deep for its size, It even kept up quite well with the big boys like my forsaken mistress and battle saw. The deep hollow grind greatly increases chopping penetration. Plus with the added length, leverage will do most of the work.

This is probably the closes thing to an INFI machete since the BB13 or Magnum MOASK Silent Knight, and my guess is this will out perform BOTH:eek:. Cant wait to test and make a more valid conclusion.
 
Okay i need some opinions, for a shtf, bob weapon and just general bushwhacking tool would you guys choose something like this or the rodent rucki? The handle is a bit shorted I know but I think I could still get some of a second hand on the grip of this thing? Just looking for your guys thoughs

Even with small hands, it doesn't look like you'll get more than half of a second hand on the grip.

For SHTF, I’d pick this. Haven’t used the Rucki so take this with a grain of salt but it looks like the Rucki would have less chopping power but better stabbing penetration, but in a shtf scenario stabbing would be a last option so I’d take the f-16 (they’ll both stab anyway)

plus INFI over sr101 :rolleyes:

Not sure the hollow grind will help that much on deep cuts or hard material. However, I'm hoping it means that these are more likely to have a secondary bevel that's not too thick and will actually cut. My main concern with Busse short swords is the risk of them coming to you like a 2-foot, extremely expensive butter knife.

I would imagine the nuke comes with convex grind?!? I ahve never had a dull convex from Busse...and it seems like the sharpening game has been consistently better and better on V-Grinds...

Still - hard to sharpen 16"s if you are just a hobby sharpener like myself and you would expect this to be more of a streamlined sword than chopper, so hopefully a really keen edge comes with the blade, whatever the grind...

The more I wait for this Nuke option, the more I am talking myself out of this one...

Did the base price of the Competition model go down? I thought it was $797 in the original post.

I probably just misread it, though.

Either way, I like the fact that it's a hundred dollars less than I thought it was going to be.
