Let's do a little digging

Fantastic.

If you told me you were gonna be doing all that I wouldn't have cleaned it up before shipping it. Lol.

Well.... they are very different knives.

That set will handle a whole lot of cutting!

It's actually quite well rounded isn't it? The edc worked well for carving the bowl of a spoon and the sdfk could well take down a small tree if need be.

You’re Lucky to have those. Good choices

 

[shinyedges]

They are very similar in size and capabilities no doubt. I really like the CPK for sure but it’s going to be hard to top this particular Busse. Time will tell but I felt pretty lucky to get it today. They are both keepers
Edit: To more directly answer that: in comparison I like both handles about the same but slightly give the nod to CPK due to the tubes on Busse leaving a sort of divit in the scale vs smooth and the grind and blade height is more to my liking on the CPK as well. The choil goes to Busse due to the ability to do choke up work more comfortably without worry of a cut and it’s thumb ramp is more favorable to my hand as well. I like the fact that I can put a lanyard on the Busse.
So far that’s the initial assessment. I wouldn’t want to choose between them yet for sure.

A fair assessment!

Very! The SDFK is just simply great all around. I don’t leave the road system without mine. Enjoy!

Yea, but I'm not lubing up for the aftermarket prices. I'll either never get one or eventually nathan will catch up to demand. F the flippers.

Yea, I’m lucky that got mine direct from CPK. If you want to give it a shot, let me know.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The dek 2s are sexy af.

Seriously, just drop me a line. I’ll be happy to get it out and let you put it through the paces. It’s my daily, so she ain’t too pretty…

So are the one's and the 3's..... I don't personally understand the twos?

The 2s were tanto if I am not mistaken, up until my p&l I never really cared for tantos. Id had them many times in the past and would usually round the second point into a belly. The more traditional Japanese tantos already have a belly, which I like. I suppose I should have said I never cared for American tantos.
