Had a pleasant conversation on the phone this week with Kassi about the new knives comin out and I was pleased to hear the new BA will make its bebut in Nov!Dont know if you guys have handled the new BA or SJ yet but I can tell you the new BA is the absolute perfect sizeed all round knife out there!I cant wait but yet I must!As soon as I get mine I am puttin er through the toughest breakfast test yet!:D
 
Hmmm,
my question is: what is the huge difference between the new BA and the new Public Defender. When you compare the two, the handles look identical and the PD has only a very slight tanto grind!!
I dig them both, though. It'll be a hot winter!!!:D :D
 
one is for cutting, the other is for stabbing.

look at the pd's front grind - it goes from 3/16th to the edge in about a 1/2 inch, that means that metal behind the first edge, and the cutting edge angle are very wide. theres a lot of metal behind the second edge of the pd, and it has a fairly short primary grind compared to the rest of the busse line.

the ba is a more capable cutting implement to the pd (it has a full flat grin, and less metal directly behind the cutting edge)- but the pd is MUCH, MUCH stronger then the ba. the pd is for taking to hell and back when there is ABSOLUTELY no option for failure.

basically, take busse's reputation for being industructable plus its lifetime warranty, and then beef it up, thats the pd.


both are awesome - but trust me, they are totally different knives, in hand, in cutting, in grind, in a lot of respects. the handles are pretty much the same though :)
 
I think all the new Fusion series knives feel great but my
mouth is really watering for the Fusion Heart! I can't
wait to beat one of those things, it just begs for it!!:eek:
