Ok, I just pulled the trigger a purchased a Hell razor, it will be a user but I never have own a blade of Busse made from INFI steel and was wondering about sparks from the firesteel if it was good or not ?
 
not sure if I understand the question, are you asking if infi is good at producing sparks from a fireseteel? if so then yes. and congrats on a great knife
 
also don't be afraid to beat the crap out of that knife, the more you use infi the better it performs
 
Congratulations - you made the right choice.

Infi throws sparks from ferro rods just fine, although I hate to do it to the edge of any blade. In an emergency though, anything goes.

Enjoy the knife!
 
I will use the scraper that comes with the light my fire fire steels but just thought I would ask..

Where did you get your hellrazor from?
 
Yep, the HR is one of my very favorite knives. I like the grip, and it takes a good beating. I got a Spec-ops sheath for it (modified insert). They are definitely good users.
 
The Hell Razor is the knife that has always been at the top of my wish list, one day I may manage to scrape together the funds......I'm jealous bro, good choice !!!
 
thanks guy...pit..I have been admiring your DM for sometime...I pick one up in a trade DMLE and now the HR...I am happy and a side not I have a new EDC coming as well..RAT Cutlery RC3
 
Hell Razor and RAT 3 should have you pretty much covered !!!!

I have just bagged this though so I'm still very happy at the minute....

The sheath is borrowed from my Grunt !
 
congrats on the score.... i hear great things about busse..

i have also never owned a busse, so i have no idea how this infi steel is... one of these days i'll have to check one out.... they're a bit on the pricey side though....
 
Great blade pitdog... my first Busse by-product was the Dumpster Mutt LE and my 1st INFI knife....Hell razor......what really sold me was the OD green blade..I really like that color and the standard scales green as well with Spec-ops sheath...like a dream knife for me ....only HR I wanted was the Green model and $ was right for me so I snatched it up ... I am excited sorry for rambling !!!!
 
oh yeah!!! infi rules, you won't regret this. i was turned on to busse by the battle mistress, but the hell razor got me to visit the online store. those were gone, but the cgfbm was around so i picked up a couple of them.
 
The amount of sparks generated from a firesteel has nothing to do with what type of steel you use. It is how "sharp" the edges are on the back or choil.
Think ice skates or slalom skis. The sharper the edges, the more bite. :)

Carbon steel is only needed if you are to get sparks from the KNIFE.
Some instructors show how to get sparks by hitting the knife back with a piece of quarts or such.

The scrapers that comes with the firesteels are usually crap.
 
I have a Busse Game warden and I can only barely get sparks from the spine or choil. Apparently from what I read the edges are rounded.:rolleyes:
 
I probably will never use my HR as a striker for the fire steel ,I don't know about crap on the scraper with the firesteels ,I have yet to have issues with it, start fires pretty easy...or I get enough spark from it using the factory scraper to make a fire...
