How long has the edge on your Busse combat knife lasted?

[rkg20]

I got mine recently used it some and of course it's stayed sharp but I want to know how long yours lasted with the factory edge or the edge you put on your knife or tell me about the hardness of the steal and how much abuse it can take.

you can gut, skin, and break down a deer with out sharping.

Oddly enough, my experience has varied so widely from model to model I cant give a single edge holding opinion. I figure it all depends on edge geometry. INFI is INFI, but blade width and edge angle vary from model to model.

My BAe has performed phenomenally on deer and pig, both bone and skinning. Not so much with my Heavy Duty. Both are on each end of the blade width scale.

I've done at least four-six without sharpening. Cut through rib cage and all... infi is the real-deal.

The thinner and harder it is the longer it will cut.

I got the Chuckette' in 2005 and it has never been touched up.
