Dude... it is your knife, if you want to shoot it; fire away. :thumbup:

Just be sure to get it on video as best you can and share the results with us. :D

Let whoever sent you the PM or email drink a few less cool ones for a while, buy a knife with the "saved" money, and then have a give away; if that is what they want.

But by all means... don't let them run you off. To 'heck' with them....... ;)

Shoot that puppie........ ;)
 
Shoot the handles off That:eek::eek::D
 
yeah, whatever the buzzkill pm stuff was changes my mind. shoot that baby! -and then have a chop off with the remains. :eek:
let's see some video! :)
 
Shoot it, then baton it through a steel pipe, wear a silly mask, and post a video.

Thx!:thumbup:
 
Shoot the hell out of that knife...heck its your knife, do what you want to with it.:eek::eek:

I don't see that any different than chopping through concrete or through cars.

Dont let some grumpy old man run you off!!!
 
Before you shoot it...

Pound it into a block of concrete and kick it.:thumbup::)

When I first read this I couldn't believe it, never have I seen someone embrace destruction like this. I teared up a little IIRC.

GarySoneji,

No harm. . . .No foul. . . :thumbup: :D

Eventhough Skeleton Keys are by far the flyweights of the Busse Combat line, pounding it in further probably would have saved the day here because there would have been less leverage and thicker geometry further up on the blade. . . .

Here's a little background on the Skeleton Key:

The Skeleton Keys are full-height hollow ground by hand. Thin edged, full-height, deep-dish hollow grinds are by far the weakest of all bevel geometries. That is the same type of geometry as old fashioned straight razors, although they were ground MUCH thinner than were the Skeleton Keys.

We had originally ground all of the Skeleton Keys with a full-height flat grinds in order to give them better strength. The problem was that the full-height flat grind greatly sacrificed the knife's ability to cut since the blade was so very narrow. I argued with our production team that the Skeleton Key was "far too small for anyone to heavily abuse". . .(What was I thinking???? ). . . and that we should use a full-height hollow grind in order to make this little knife a better cutter. Of course with the full-height hollow grind, the strength of the blade was greatly decreased because steel, much like glass, is only as strong as your thinnest geometry. Once steel cracks, just like glass, the crack will propagate until it reaches the other end and the blade completely breaks in half or has a half moon shaped chunk missing from the edge.

Now to look at your pics I can only be impressed with how well INFI performed. There is no other steel that could've been ground to this size, geometry, and hardness that could have taken what finally broke your blade!!!:eek: It is obvious that what finally broke your blade was a full lateral bend that was much greater than 90 degrees and which apparently happened when you "kicked it". That is very impressive performance from the little Skeleton Key.

I wish I had the ability to circle areas of a photo and put little arrows at certain points in order to illustrate what I'm getting at, but I can't so you'll all need to follow my description of where to look in the following picture. Look at the upper right corner of the broken tip piece. See the small piece of the spine that is not broken off clean but is STILL BENT at 90 degrees? YOWZA!!! :eek: In order to take a permanent 90 degree set, that blade had to have been bent WAY beyond 90 degrees!!! So, this little fly-weight of the Busse Combat line outperformed any claims we've ever made in regards to lateral strength. We've only claimed to have gone 70 degrees without breaking, and that was with a much more robust geometry and much longer blade! The fact that this little guy hung in there past the 90 degree mark with a full-height hollow grind only makes me that much more impressed with how much abuse INFI can handle!!! (Perhaps someone can put some arrows on the pic for me?)

So, it is unfortunate that your Skeleton Key broke but it is not any sign of a defect or of any lesser performance than could have or should have been expected. It is actually a sign that it surpassed any claims that we have made concerning lateral strength!!! It may also be a sign that you have future in the NFL as a place kicker!!! :thumbup:

I'm very proud of how much this little sliver of INFI took before finally gasping for its last breath!!!

I certainly don't see any intention in GarySoneji's actions to have killed his little Skeleton Key so please return both pieces to the Busse Combat Shop and we will replace it with a brand spankin' new one. . .

As for the broken little SK. . . Rest In Peace my little nuclear friend. . . Soon you will be home and we will re-profile you and put you to work in our shipping room for the next 60 years!!!:thumbup:

Nuke on my INFI kicking friends!!! :cool:

Jerry :D

Hey, don't take those guys seriously, you can't. I have had many threads of people jumping down my throat about stupid stuff, whatever...
Try not to let it get to you. It's your knife and you can do whatever you want with it. Just like all my knives, I can store them in a safe and never use them, they are mine and other frown on the fact that I will never use the edge and it was a knife made to be used.
I know the other thread that was started and didn't like where that was going, and I also saw where this thread was going and didn't like that either.
I know you posted it and wanted to do it more out of cursiority to see what would the actual results be and your intention was not so just waste and destroy something. But others here already think they know what is going to happen so telling you in advance is all.
Known fact and you can ask Jerry this, You can't make everyone happy and someone is always going to say something negative about something you are doing. So just do your own thing, do what makes you happy.

Well this was an interesting thread to stumble across. Don't know what kinda guilt trip message you recieved but IMO, the knife is yours, do as you please. You asked for opinions and opinions are what you got. So brush them off, load your rifle, and fire that bullet down range before we live in a socialist society that actually forces you to give that knife to one of the "have nots." Remember, you're shooting a Busse, not a Bible.

Yep!:thumbup:

It's your Blade--- Your .50cal--- Your dime---

Don't let some guy run ya off..After all,this is only the internet...

I really,really want to know the outcome of "INFI VS .50cal"

Just to add--: It's your property,man!
 
ok; sounds like someone has there panties seriously in a bunch. Don't let someone hiding behind a keyboard scare you away from anywhere or anything. If someone has the gall to do something like that well let them be (beep).

You asked for opinions on doing something, and in this thread, that is what you received. Like others have said, you are never going to be able to please everyone, so there is no reason to try. You want to shoot you knife with you .50 BMG (man, wish I could have one of them), then do it!

If someone wants to hide behind there computer monitors and keyboards, and send you what seems as though it must have been a rather unpleasant message, then turn them into the mods, and let them be banned. Make them learn a lesson about their "online courage", which may or may not have come after a dose or two of "liquid courage". Whoever did it needs to take a couple drinks and chill out.
 
Hey man! Come back to the forum! I didn't send you the PM so it doesn't count.

You can do whatever you want to that blade of yours. If you hit the edge dead center with a non-jacketed .50BMG round it will easily survive.

However, they don't make a non-jacketed .50BMG because the bullet would melt before it left the muzzle and you would basically just be shooting a super hot lead droplet!!!!:eek::D

If you don't hit the blade near dead center or hit it from the side, it will most likely be Bye Bye Busse Blade!!!!

So here's an idea!!!! I'll round up some screwed up Busse Combat blades that we have here at the shop and I'll shoot 'em with my Barrett .50BMG

That way we'll all know what will happen and there's no chance of destroying a perfectly good knife!!! :thumbup:


Let's Drink!!!! :thumbup:

Seems fair Jerry. Also this has confirmed that you do have a Barrett .50BMG. I would have put money on you having one but now there's proof.

Any chance of a Busse and Barrett .50 collaboration?
