Have you seen the Noss Video?

was beginning to think something along those lines. Never really sure why folks get offended where simple discussion would be more enjoyable, but i suppose emotion wins most of the time.

I don't much have any emotional attachment to this argument, so it's just academic for me. I wouldn't care if someone did something similar in the busse or becker forms, but then, not everyone is like me

You really haven't discussed much here or in the Busse forum other than having to defend yourself.

You may not get offended but others Busse folks might. You have already annoyed a few of them by flooding two forums with these links.

Send me one of your Busse blades and I'll return it to you in two pieces. :D

If it was simply academic for you how did you miss these videos in the first place? A blind, down syndrome primate would've seen all the threads about this noss guy by now. Maybe you need to take the advice I gave you originally, read more post less.

I have already answered this one... Noss just posted all his videos on youtube in the last few days. I had never seen them before that, and while i was aware of his reviews, i didn't know that these particular ones were not new.

as to my "flooding two forums with these links", i have posted precisely 2 posts on the subjects one here and one in the busse forum, and i have posted precisely 3 links in those posts. One, which was requested in the busse forum, and 2 which i have posted here.

not exactly flooding
 
Buy a Busse, enjoy em, beat the hell out of em, do your thing.

I've never needed to drill through concrete or steel with a CRK nor any knife for that matter so I'm not 100% positive what the point is here, especially "here".

"Hey guys, check it out, you know those knives your all crazy about?"
"Yeah"
"Well when you misuse them like a circus monkey with too much time on it's hands they BREAK!"
"......"

Your not going to turn anybody here off of CRK with a couple videos of someone that uses their products in ways most of us would never imagine treating a knife and you certainly aren't going to get reasonable, thought provoking responses when you beat a dead horse.

First couple of posts, okay you didn't know. Now you do.

Anyway I have no mirror in this funhouse so that'll be my two cents. Gotta go, I have car doors and cinderblocks to punch holes in with my Sebenza ;)
 
BePrepared You really can't compare the two blade steels, they are different. I won't say that INFI is better and I am not going to tell you its stronger because I think you already know it. CRK makes a fantastic fixed blade which can hold its own for its intended purpose (S30V just happens to be my fav steel). If I were a military man I would trust one with my life as I would trust a Busse or a Buck. I just thought it would be cool to have a Umnumzaan with a INFI blade for pissing contest purposes. I really don't want to be party to this Pissing contest anymore because no one is going to win. And I have seen these vids about two or more years ago.
 
personally, if i were to express an opinion about CRK, i'd say that he makes one of the most impressive, well made folders on the planet. Their fit and finish is top notch.

I never said that CRK doesn't make fantastic knives. Everyone assumes i'm attacking their favorite knifemaker. I'm not. I believe he makes a great knife.
 
Bro, you really need to get a Sebenza or a Umnumzaan in hand to truly appreciate what they are and the abilities of the knife. I have never in my life held a Chris Reeve fixed blade but I will defend them because I have both, a Sebenza and a Umnumzaan and I have had others in the past and I understand that Chris doesn't screw around when he makes a knife. Busse has a better Fixed blade for strength purposes, I have a Boss Jack but I will never drive it through the hood of a truck.
 
I held a sebenza at a gun show in houston once, and was very impressed, but couldn't afford it at the time. I like his folders a lot.

Having never had or used a CRK fixed blade, i certainly don't claim that they are not good knives. I simply posted a video and you'd think i had gone to everyone's home and kicked their dog.

i made absolutely no statement as to the QUALITY of the knives. I like the only CRK knives i've seen, and they are very very few (1) in number.
 
I don't really get what you mean by this ? What is it that this super strong knife is going to get used for that another knife can't do ? Both Busse and CRK are plenty strong enough for use as a knife. That said I have damaged Busse knives doing things my $80 traditional mountain knife lapped up so perhaps they arn't all that.......

<yawn>... Really? This again?

ANYTHING can be taken to the point of failure given the will to do so. I'm not sure how many times this can be stated without coming off as a defender of any one maker. Does it have value? Sure...the value seems to be twofold. How much was spent on said failure to make it happen and of course, the inherent value of how not to test scientifically, which these tests represent very well. Not familiar with the "scientific method"? Google it- In short, the sample size is far too small to be representative of quantitative information as with the previous examples by others.
Follow the scientific method and I may care about the resultant information per the "hard use", tactical definition...But not very likely as the only tools I take to failure are generally made of carbide and high speed steel...Otherwise, I take care of my tools, so that they can take care of me.

Haze,

I hate to hear about your experience with your Busse. If you like I will send you one of mine to use, see if you find the same fault.

All I meant was if you want a knife that will continuously be punched through sheet metal and pry car doors open than get a Busse but if you want a high quality cutting tool than you can't go wrong with a CRK fixed or folder. I am ignorant to the ability of a Busse however. I do have a Boss Street but I never put it through any "hard use" because to me its a knife. I am basing all my assumptions off what I have read here in the Busse forum. I also have never used or even held a CR fixed blade but I base my assumption of ability and quality on my Sebenza and the outstanding reputation of Chris Reeve knives. I've known you for sometime Haze, you've even saved me some embarrassment in the past when I was new here so I trust you and when you tell me you damaged a INFI blade with minor usage I believe you and I really don't know what to say.
 
I have a good few Busse knives from Game wardens up to an AK-47, they are fine knives and I have had much fun with them. The knife I had real problems with was a BWM, it was just too thin behind the edge for a chopper and the edge warped and dinged easily. The biggest warp actually had to be ground out when I rebeveled the blade the give it more beef behind the edge. :):thumbup:

I don't want to make it seem as though I bashing Busse but at the end of the day they are just knives not that different from the next ones. I own and like Busse knives but they are not the "...est" of all knives as some people seem to keep saying.

Ever measured the thickness of that one near the edge? Just wondering how is fairs compared to others.......
 
My calipers are at the shop so I can't check it right now, but IIRC the edge is 0.78mm (not sure what that would be in inches :p) at the shoulder of the bevel now. It was a full convex edge or at least convexed and micro beveled when new.
