First Busse: SAR-8 B&T
I just got my first Busse, a SAR-8 B&T. Got the MashedCat Tek-lok sheath as well.
The blade edge has a slight ¼ inch shiny spot 1 1/2 inches from the tip. Is this a dull spot?
What should I do with it? Sharpening steel? Arkansas Stone?
I have read other more technical posts on sharpening and in time will try to achieve that level of care.
I am new to Busse Knives, I assume it is ok to split small logs into kindling with this and the TB CG
I also have on order? Overall I am very impressed with the SAR-8 and plan to carry it deer hunting this season.
Any other advice would be appreciated.

Send it directly to me for proper disposal!!:thumbup:;)


Grats on a great blade.
 
Sounds like you might have a slight "roll". Steel or ceramic is even better then finish it off on a strop with some compound and you should be good as new.

Use that sucker, it should do all you want and then some.:thumbup:
 
acemaster, congrats on your new Busse and welcome to BladeForums and our little corner of it.

These are the toughest knives you can imagine, backed by the best warranty in the world, and sold by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Hope you stick around, we're a fun bunch.

listen to this man, he speaks the truth...
 
It's kind of funny. Every time I see someone comment in a thread "just don't do anything stupid with the knife" and there's a Busse on the want list, I'm tempted to tell people to get the Busse and just go nuts.
Ever since I saw that review of the Scrapyard SOD where the guy breaks down a granite bolder, I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of actually hurting my knife.
This place is so liberating!:D
