I must be an IDIOT!!!!!!!!

Yeah, speaking of video's, I would really like to see the New Busse Video:

PROOF POSITIVE, with Jerry Busse as The Idiot

It would be a very short and no doubt entertaining movie. It has just Got to be better than the Other notorious Proof video

Don't waste time with people that do not want to see the facts itself. Depending on how you use your blade, 1095 may not be a bad steel. It is however when you live on the edge that the true facts will be revealed. Just ignore those that are still busy with the journey ....yet they post facts as if they have arrived. You will not convince all but don't worry.... we are surrounded by idiots !!

Good to see that you still have the ability to loose the Busse cool !!! Makes you human .....

It's nice to read your post, Jerry. I didn't buy the knife for the warranty, and doubt I'll need it. It's still nice to know it is there just in case I turn into Superman and manage to damage it (and that's real likely, huh?).
 
Jerry,did you get my E-Mail? well I think that the basic's are great knives and are worth the money. I don't own any
of them because I decided to go with a custom variant that is in the works.
I have owned a CS Trailmaster wich is a real
tough knife but is a chore to keep from rusting and the rubber handle needs work as
it tries to work its way off during hard
use.Im not sure where the Trailmaster was made its been awhile but other CS knives
I have seen were import
I prefer American made gear.

Jerry is right. Side by side, no BS testing is what we'd all like to see. You'd think that publications like Blade Magazine would be happy to do unbiased comparison testing, but then they survive by selling ads -- and if some of their clients came out poorly...

I subscribed to Gun Tests for a number of years. Is there an no-ads publication for knives? Maybe that would do it.

Naturally, we'd all LIKE to see Lynn Thompson and Jerry Busse, side by side, hacking thousands of pieces of 1" rope, chopping 2x4s, shaving, etc. But it's not likely. And if any one maker conducts such a test, people will say he rigged it to make his products look good.

We need a respected source like a knife publication. Letter writing campaign anyone?

Heck, I'm even curious about other things. I'd like to take three identical knives (like SHII, since I have one), put the convex grind on one, a straight tapered edge on another, and the unique asymmetrical "Busse edge" on another. Then run a comparison test. Of course, it might show quicker results if we ran the test with three knives of lesser material...

All the Best, friends. I guess for now I'll do my own field testing. And put me with the group that has more use for tools that don't break, than for written guarantees.

Jerry,

You have to ignore certain individuals! You cannot cater to them, it is a full time job!

Just be patient Jerry and they will go away!

Smack on the chin taken. I was a bit crude and unfair with some of my points, it was late and I was tired. Still no excuses are fully valid. The overwhelming anti me comments show me either this forum is filled with A-holes or that I am doing things wrong.

I AM doing things wrong, I will try harder to not go online late and think before I post. Good advice I think.

This forum is NOT filled with A-holes.

Tell you what, you all got my e-mail, give me a blasting! Tell me what an a-hole I am. I will take it and change my style a lot. I have been trying to hard in some areas. I need a little more perspective. Please give me that perspective.

I am not being funny or sarcastic.

Personally, I kind of like it when Jerry goes off like that. It's usually a pretty good indication that he's just spent a couple of weeks chained to his grinder for 18 hours a day.

Lane,
Being a long time subscriber to Gun Tests magazine myself, I too would very much appreciate someone creating Knife Tests magazine. Now that would be the shiite.

Seems to me the General has come around. It's only my opinion, but I think we should let it be.
 
While live demonstrations would be nice, I would be satisfied if I could just get a clear statement of performance that was covered by a warrenty that allowed me to verify the claims for myself.

In regards to no-hype reviews, the best indication I have seen of the problem with this in the knife industry was outlined by Darrel Ralph :

He is not the only maker to take such a stand. Pretty much as long as this point of view is accepted then you are not going to commonly see clear and unbiased performance evaluations as quite simply a lot of makers don't want to see it done.

If no one minds I will bow out of this thread! Take care all of you.

While I can't say what DDR really meant when he said that, I can understand his statement from a certain perspective. If you are testing the knife in order to point out its weakness and thus imprive it, you don't need to publish it to the world.

That MAY be where DDR was coming from.

Oh wait, what am I doing here in this thread? Wait, this is the wrong room. I NEVER come here... and now I'm posting?!

If your intention at the start is to make the knife look either good or bad (doesn't matter which one), you are not doing an unbiased review in the first place.
