horizontal ridges

[manassas dragon]

i've noticed on some of the busse blades that they have several
ridges running parallel to the blade. why?

Lateral strength and weight. They also help avoid some binding while chopping.

They are called CBT (Corregated Bevel Technology). they work the same way an "I" beam does, lowers the weight while keeping most of the strength.

I have noticed it also and wondered myself why they are there. What is the Busse terminology for this? Just as a guess they look like they would be useful to keep the blade from sticking when you are chopping.

Is the "cbt" proprietary to Busse knives, or has it been used by other manufacturers also?

I've seen other knife makers do similar. I believe Kershaw has a couple of blades with ridges along what would typically have been the grind area. Not horizontal, though.

I always thought that CBT on my mistress meant

Cool Busse Tool!

Here it is boys!!! One of the meanest models to ever escape the Busse Combat Shop!!! This is one of two new models that will be going up within the next ten days!!!!

Blade length = 6 3/4"
Blade Thickness = 3/16"
SF Handles

This pic clearly shows our patent pending Corrugated Bevel Technology (CBT). The corrugated bevel not only greatly strengthens the blade but reduces the overall weight of the blade while reducing the cutting friction along the entire height of the bevel.

Please give the pic a moment to load.
