I have decided to Test a $350 Plus STRIDER

[MORIMOTOM]

and btw, i was with a friend who also had a hhfsh, very similar results.

we used a kabar a little too, that is until the tip shattered off.

I have no reason to accuse Spyderco of lying.As for Busse,extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and I hope to see an extraordinary proof of INFI`s extraordinary performance and If turns out that it performs just as the other tough steels like S7,5160 etc but is more stainless then them,in my view the added stainlessness doesn`t justify the price tag.

i recently beat the hell out of my busse heavy heart fusion steel heart. search my 'started threads'. i hit it with a sledgehammer. i chopped bricks. i chopped metal. i chopped wood.

no chips. was still very sharp after everthing but the brick. i got a bit of blade roll when i chopped the brick in half.

not a scientific test, but definitely shows what the steel can withstand. since im not a scientist, and my guess is you arent either, all the pics i posted during my 'test' should at the very least, prove your quote here utterly wrong.

One test I did with my Busses though,unsheathing them and putting them back into the kydex-inserted sheath.Doing this only once would ruin the razor edge and made the edge visible,thus making evident that the edge bent from being lightly dragged across the kydex insert.It was very tiresome to strop them every time after unsheathing.This happened a lot with my SJ that I ended up trading to Cobalt for a Hankins 3V blade.Was that a defective HT?Maybe,but I would let more experienced knifenuts guess the hardness of such a blade,the kydex didn`t have cuts from inserting,it was literally by just scraping across it.

Thanks,I can pretty much recite from memory the chemistry of most cutlery steels and quite a few HT temperatures.

Memorization and comprehension are not the same thing.

Funny how this joker ignores t1mpani's lucid response and continues flailing in ignorance, spouting delusions.

Open your eyes man... The proof is out there. Pics, videos.

Busse has publically demonstrated their performance statements unlike all those makers you constantly reference who do nothing but gossip like schoolchildren.

I HOPE that INFI is an air-hardening steel similar to A2 or A8,it can be anything.

No, it has been chemically studied several times, the composition is known.

I`ll leave up to other researchers to dig up the reason why they haven`t spoken on these boards while laughing about it at shows.

Because they have no confidence in what they say and no honor to their statements and would prefer to speak behind someones back than address and conflict personally and in public.

Thanks,I can pretty much recite from memory the chemistry of most cutlery steels and quite a few HT temperatures.

But yet you don't know the difference between 1095 and 440C. Nitrogen is added to steels in various ways, either directly or in some nitrided alloy.

Why wasn`t it revealed at the start of INFI series but only a year or 2 after?PS>I know the difference between 1095 and 440C,different people said different things about what INFI might be.

Me spouting delusions?The difference between a 5160 chopper and an INFI one is like saying I took a flight from DC to LA on a plane versus saying one flew on a private UFO.Who is delusional here,bro?There is some evidence of UFO`s,but a helluva lot more evidence of planesPS>Good nite everyone including the one who called me a freakin` gnat,I really enjoyed our evening of verbal judo.

I have used them once or twice

Everything you say is a lie or delusion. When confronted with facts, you spew more of the same drivel or change the subject, never addressing the pertinent subject. (as you just did now) You are a troll, albeit an unskilled one.

 

[beefangusbeef]

Weren't you going to test a Strider?

The difference between a 5160 chopper and an INFI one is like saying I took a flight from DC to LA on a plane versus saying one flew on a private UFO.

What does that have to do with testing a strider knife? Have you ever held one before? That's probably a good place to start.

Why don't the makers you are talking to publically say exactly how they harden their steels?

I know the difference between 1095 and 440C,different people said different things about what INFI might be.

If you know the difference between them it should have been obvious to you that those suggestions were nonsense because one is an water hardening steel and the other stainless and neither are similar to INFI thus the makers were just lying with NO EXPERIENCE at all with the steel.

I sold that SJ, but it was a hell of a lot sharper than the 3V I traded you for

In any case, I think everyone is wasting their time here. When someone throws up facts you change the sbject. People have thrown tests and pics at you. T1mpani threw it in your face about the opinion of those knifemakers you mentioned and how wrong you are. But you never respond to that, you just change the subject.

You basically call Busse a liar multiple times by implying that you will deal with an honest knifemaker like Siegle. Who himself is a Busse collector

You say you had 10 Busse knives but you could not afford to test one??

I think RAT has it right, you are nothing but a TROLL and a lazy one at that. You are so lazy because you never bothered to search the forums for old tests or subjects on Busse. If you had you would have seen that Busse knives are the MOST TESTED knives out there PERIOD, BAR NONE. Just do a search.
But you just plod along spewing trash out of your mouth and do not isten to any response from others, most of whom have considerably more knowledge than you do.

I really think you are angry that you got rid of your Busses and now they have gotten to expensive for you to get back.

You said that other knifemakers laugh at Busse behind his back at shows? Really? Funny, where are they when he puts out his challenge at Blade??

Did you know that when Turber tested the Basic9 at Blade there were many well known knifemakers n attendance to witness an INFI knife push cut over 2,700 pieces of rope along the same short section of edge. They stopped because they ran out of rope. Do a search and you will find all you need.

I feel bad for you that you have lowered yourself to TROLISH behavior.

I used to have more,but sold them all except for a few Grecos,MMHW,Hankins,Siegles and a few from upcoming makers on BF,namely Ray Laconico and Scott Tanguey.I can`t tell you how great it feels to be invested in something other than INFI or knives in general.

Bring them to Blade and take the Busse challange and go head to head in whatever comp you want. No one else seems to want to take Busse up on it.

The reason for multiple colors is so that you actually read something for a change..

From now on the response to your postings will be:

"READ THROUGH THE PREVIOUS POSTINGS N THIS THREAD AND DO A SEARCH LAZY ONE, FOR YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS"

Hehehehehe...
I can only imagine what they're saying about you in the cove, anythingsharp!
BTW..... I'm sending a report to the mods. It's pretty obvious you're trolling.

Damn, I wish I had stayed up. Things got pretty amusing after I went to bed...LOL

This is exactly the same thought I had right from the get go. He's living in the past and still mad about what he "thinks" he should have had.

I'm not even convinced he ever owned any in the first place.

I wanted an old Puma to test in the kitchen,that where I mostly use my knives .

I had about 10 Busses and you never used any of them. :foot:

I wish I was slaying monsters every night like the Busse fans do... .

Funny, I never considered Busse's fighting knives, just hard use tools. So I guess you must be the mall ninja. :jerkit: Again, this is nothing but a trollish statement and adds nothing to your argument.
