I loved my new SNFO a little too hard!!!

I'm aware that no-one's asked my opinion, but...

A lot depends on how exactly that tip took a set and later broke. I can see a thin tip bending and taking a set if you pry with it, especially with just the first inch of the tip. It's a long knife, and it's easy to create a lot of pressure on the tip. However, if the tip bent in simple stabbing, then that does feel like unusually low performance. Much thinner knives have survived a straight stab into wood without taking a set. If the stab wasn't quite straight, though, and notable lateral force was put on the tip during the stab, then I can see how a thin tip like that would take a set. Hard to say when I wasn't there. One has to keep in mind that the longer the knife, the easier it is to put lateral pressure on the tip without really noticing it...

It just goes to show you. INFI is still steel and can break with abuse. Just like us, we are ONLY HUMAN. Your knife is ONLY STEEL. INFI is a great steel but it will take only so much. It could be a flaw in the steel itself, though. Something like a factory "bubble".

I actually had a nice little review that I was in the middle of when this happened. Here are some pics

20 chops

40 chops

60 chops

6 chops after that

Having worked as a carpenter part of my life, I can say with certainty that grain can play a factor. I've see nails from a nail gun do some pretty funny things when they hit grain that isn't uniform--like do a U-turn and stick back out of the wood tip first.

Thats why I said, "IMO" I dont use customs hard, matter of fact I only use one custom and thats my Culti for cleaning fish and as a steak knife.


As far as the customs seeming more soft, I dulled the tip on my Culti after hitting the side of a glass plate, maybe its just because it is really thin but my BAD still has a tip and I have used it as a steak knife several times as well, and its even thinner.

Nonsense in my opinion.

There is not a maker on the planet that would tell you his knives, custom or not, are for the safe only.

I pay more for a custom and it performs less than a CG....never...:thumbdn:...not acceptable..

Knives are tools to be used.


Jerry will make this right.

[Gerberblades]

Your right, its a never ending argument everyone has there opinions, and I shared mine. I dont like to beat customs, mainly because they are so purty. I know Busse will make it right, he always does.

Another one of my opinions...

Busse has the greatest customer service in the knife business. :thumbup:


SO WHO IS READY FOR BSW??? :thumbup:

Yes, that is very true in my experience as well, and I haven't even been a carpenter. And the strength of the stab matters a lot, too. The quicker and stronger it is, the likelier it is that the tip gets damaged.
