This is in response to the topic titled-FAQ's ?- Everyone's help needed. I'm sorry it took me so long to give you guys the answers to your questions. I will list my -answers according to the member who posted. Here we go.
In response to eaisaacs-
1) The Basic line made with Mod-INFI and respirene-c handles. The Combat line is made with INFI and has micarta hand-les.
2) The Battle Mistress is in the Combat line, not the Basic line.
3) Through Busse Combat (call 419-923-6471) or through a distributor. You can call the shop to get the name of your local distributor or email me and I'll find out for you.
4) Yes,at www.bussecombat.com.
5)INFI and Mod-INFI are proprietary steels to Busse Combat Knives.They are high carbon steels that were formulated for us. The main difference between INFI and Mod-INFI is that there is less colbalt in Mod-INFI.
6) Respirene-c is a synthetic material that is highly resistent to various weather and tempertures. It is also resistant to various chemical agents and will not break down when exposed to DEET (a chemical in certain bug sprays)unlike other synthetics.
7) Busse Combat Knives are designed to perform any enviroment. We guarantee it.
8) We suggest using a ceramic rod. Check out the web site for specific instructions.
9)Lifetime warranty on the blade and handle. The coating is not covered. Also, if you intentionally try to damage the knife, it is not covered. That means you stick it in a vise and bend it till it breaks, if you live you can't get a replacement. However, if while you are using it to perform a task and it fails, we'll cover it. WE STAND BEHIND EVERY BLADE WE MAKE.
10) Kydex lined condura or kydex. It depends what we have in stock.
In response to s002cjs-
1) Those are abbreveations for the Combat line knives. SH is Steel Heart, BA is Badger Attack, etc.
2) -E means the current ergo handle, -SH means the old style straight handle.
3) A knife made by an apprentice at the Busse shop. They are made out of various steels and designs. They are sold as is wiyh no warranty.
Nimrod, I think the beer in question has a Black Label.
In response to Andrew Lynch
1)An asymetrical edge is beveled, or ground more on one side than the other. Like a lawnmower blade.
2) A custom twist on a standard model. lIKE A BM-E with a Bowie tip or a false upper edge.
3) They are for lashing the blade to something. Like in a stick to create a spear.
4) Check out Climber's post in the original post.
5) The current Combat line is-
Assualt Shaker
Badger Attack-E
Natural Outlaw
The new six inch model
Steel Heart-E
Mr. Mojo
Battle Mistress-E
The Basic line is the #3, #5, #7, #9.
6)Yes and no. It is a carbon steel with 9% chromium. the average stainless has about 11-12% in them. INFI is a very tough, corrosion resistant steel.
7)Busse is known for having a "clean" blade. For the fist 10 years we mostly made knives for the military. Knowing that our blades were being used in the special operations community, an unmarked blade was desired.
8)The Desert Warfare has a tan handle.
9)Try On/Scene Tactical for kydex or Kenny Rowe for leather.
10) Yes at an additional charge.
11) An epoxy coating with TFE in it.
12) Call the shop and talk to Jerry or Dave.(419-923-6471)
13) all the knives are .25 inches thick. The blade legths are as follows-
AS- 2.5 inches
BA-E- 4.5 inches
NO- 5.5 inches
The new six inch- 6 inches
SH-E- 7.5 inches
Mr Mojo- 8.5 inches
BM-E- 9.5 inches
14) yes.
Chip, the variants are considered custom production knives.
In response to medusaoblongata-
Actually the Busse line are a great value. I have seen custom knives in a 9 inch model go for $1000. the BM-E at $347 is an incredible bargin. INFI is the toughest steel on the market. they outperform anything out there. ABusse will perform any task you require it to do. aour knives are backed by a lifetime warranty. If you bought it new or used, it doesn't matter, it's covered. INFI is a proprietary steel to Busse Combat. Where Mod-INFI is tougher than anything on the market, INFI is one step above that. You can buy Busee knives through the shop at 419-923-6471 or through a dealer. Call the shop for the nearest one near you.
Oh, and I forgot. The folder is in Jerry's pocket.
Yours in nuclear answers,
Andrew
