hi men and women here.
i am a fanboy of Busse knives , have few , but Occasionally use them , cause ````:D
my user is CS GI TANTO i modified, cause this thing is soooo cheap :D

and i love watching vids and pics of "abusing" users ,very cool.

please post some those you thing most hard use of your knife , lots of thanks to you .
 
I wasn't too worried. Infi doesn't chip. The paper just "rolled" the edge, but I fixed it right up with a steel after. I'm pretty sure the envelope was double thickness though.
 
Dingy, you don't have to apologize for using a GI tanto!

I have a CS GI Tanto that I use for throwing. It is a tough, and I mean tough knife! (got a great review from knifetests.com). Especially impressive considering the price point.

I ground off the top guard, and tape wrapped handle all up to make it heavier (after destroying the cord wrap). Thousands of throws, including countless bad bounces, and miss hits, including repeated hits into the poll of the rifleman hawk and rocks. I have never had to do more than a bit of edge repair to get out some of the deeper dings.

This is from a post I put up a long time ago. (from this thread http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=558285&highlight=throwing There are some vids of sub machine gun fun in that one as well).

here are some video's of me throwing my FBMLE, and other fun stuff.
This is at 25'


CS GI Tanto (with the top guard ground off, and a high tech electrical tape handle), and CS Rifleman Hawk from 25 feet.




this is the same hawk from 41 feet. (could not get a better angle video, without the wife getting in the muddy garden and dirtying up her new shoes and trampling the pop's garden).



Pinning some cans to the target.

now , i stripped her , with sandpaper.

i got the knife from a web shop , it costs me 400RMB,about $60. cause there a OEM CONTRACT, the maker can not sell oem knives to local people , so the seller buy those back from you U.S. then the consumer like me buy it , so the price Tripled.

i have a HG55,i bought it from a nice guy here; a sjtac ;a meaner street.

hg55, i give one of my best friends .
meaner street has a not perfect tip , so i sold it to someone on my local knife forums.
SJTAC, very good one , i bought it from Mustardman , if i remembered it correctlly.
i will keep this one . tons of thanks to Mustardman for giving me the chance hold this perfect knife , thanks.
now , i really wanta get are NMFBM , KILLA, GLADIUS ······:D

too many dreams , it is not good for me.

I think the hardest test I have done was with a DFLE which came with a very sharp normal "V" factory edge .... I used that knife for chopping wood for just over a year without touching up the edge .... it was at a point in time when I had none of the Basic series knives and the DFLE was by far my most comfortable chopping knife with it's Res C handle .... it "lived" in the Log Basket by the fire .... it was just "wood" but it was a LOT of wood .... the edge dulled a bit and then just stayed as it was .... always well able to chop and split right up to giving it a full make over .... it probably did about two full trees worth of logs into sticks and kindling ....

It is a cracking knife the DFLE .... often overlooked because it's not Infi ....
