Got the Big Boys Out Today

[zmbhntr]

For Labor Day I decided it would be a good idea to do a little chopping with the big boys. Large knives are so damn much fun! I'm loving the new convex edge on my MOAB.

ASH 2 love <3 still my favorite "big" blade by far.

Hows the redone bb13 feel?

All those blades are so nice but that moab really is a thing of beauty.

Thanks! That's a comp finished ASH-2 straight from Busse. It was one of 3 released at Blade 2016 with black G10. There were also 3 comp finished ASH-2's released with green/black G10 as well, but I believe that those are the only 6 from Busse with that finish.

I have a thread specifically on that knife, I believe it was actually started by Josh at Razor Edge (who did the work on it). It transformed the knife from a decent knife to a great knife. Much better balance and feel, and a much better overall grind and edge from performance standpoint. I'll try to dig up the tread and post it here for reference later tonight when I have a bit more time.

Bloody awesome!! Love the bigguns!

This one I have used the least by far, so I don't have a very well defined opinion just yet. It swings like a club and hits very hard. I still need to get used to the handle ergos as well, but it's definitely a beast of a chopper. In the coming months I will do some detailed comparisons with it and the other choppers.

Looking forward to it!

RobStanley posted a video comparo between the Hognose and the Moab HERE.

Looks like you have some use with the WTF- I gotta know, what the hell was it like? For some reason I'm attracted to that thing- it just comes across so outrageous, that becomes the attraction- I could actually see someone comment precisely that name upon seeing the drawing. Looks like it will have the weight but at an awfully high roll center.

That Kefeller just speaks to me every single time you post it.

I've used mine plenty, and it is AMAZING!!! The size/mass of the WTF combined with the thin, high grind means it BITES really, really good!

Your chopper threads always make me realize two things - I need more choppers from Busse and I need to save up and contact Dan Keffeler..
