Hmm... LOL ???

I dont have the time this morning to watch it, got a synopsis?
 
That's his opinion. INFI isn't as big of a mystery as it's made out to be. As for all of those knives and sheaths being "used" they still look minty fresh to me. Preconcieved notions were shaping his opinions in my view which is fine but I would disagree. The Buck's 400 series stainless will not hold an edge as long in a "scientific" test as INFI and the Bark River's A2 will not be as stain resistant as INFI. YMMV
 
The best part is that his accent makes it sound like he is saying "shit" or "sheeeeet" when he says "sheath".

To be fair, isn't all he's saying that his $30 buck held its edge better while dressing the deer?

Edit: Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't INFI famous for retaining a working edge incredibly long but losing its hair-popping edge rather quickly? From watching some of virtuovice's previous videos I'm fairly certain that when he considers a knife to be "dull" it's still got life left in it - and perhaps this is were INFI really shines?

Correct me if I'm completely off base.
 
I have noticed that several of my Busse and Kin have arrived with sharp, but not razor sharp edges. I have two magnum bear cubs and a rodent solution sitting on my bar right now, still pretty much brand new, that are not as sharp as my ZT 0400 and CRKT M16 sitting next to them. I have yet to put a Busse through the ringer to see if it holds the sharp edge for longer than the others. Maybe I should have done that prior to buying so many of them :)

Point being, I can see where this guy is coming from to an extent. And his accent is awesome :)
 
Hmmm... i scanned through this, and saw him compare edge angle, the Busse was steeper, and he cut paper, the Busse showed more resistance. Isn't that expected? I didn't see anything about edge retention, did i miss it?

I guess, if you don't like the steep angle, resharpen it with a more acute one, get it to an equal "paper cutting" level as the others, then test edge retention.
 
This guy is awesome he said he didnt like how busse did b-ness but that the busse he has is a treasure. He said my treasure so he most like the knife. I have Sean the video of him dressing the dear it was just as comical. Also if you watch more resent stuff he starts by saying "hello knife people" it's great. Opinions are like anhholes and everyone has one some just are one.
 
"the video of him dressing the dear..." ok, so there was one. i guess it's still about whether he was comparing apples and oranges on the blades.

In either case, since i started buying busse(kin), i'm more than happy not to have even more people in front of me when i order ;)
 
Nothing wrong with Buck knives. Chuck Buck has been producing some of the most used and well thought out (traditional) designs for a few decades now. I have a small collection of some of their fixed blades (hunters/skinners) and folders (110s). Hell more 110s have been produced then some manufacturers have knives. And some of their old school hunters were/are flat out beautiful and cool. I think of Buck Knives as much of US knife history as Colt is US gun history.:thumbup:

But, that being said................AbsolutelyFreakingNothing....is better than a Busse when it comes to a fixed blade knife. Nothing!:cool:



IMHO....of course.:D

I kinda thought that too. Even the CABS was spotless, & even animal hair can mar a blade.
 
There was a guy that posted here about a month ago that was not happy with the edge retention on his Busse while dressing out a deer, relative to other knives he has used in the same role. I wonder if it was the guy from the video?

They are folks, including good people here, who have determined that INFI is not their favorite steel in a smaller blade. That may be why Jerrry has been experimenting with an new heat treat protocol to get INFI up to a consistent Rc of 62.
