Nothing says, "I love you" to a Busse knife more than a good beating!!!!
I think that was a viable test and question to answer with a survival knife. You are free and still have a serviceable knife to use. Way to go!
then I thought to myself: what would I do if some crazy person chained me to a tree out here and all I had was my trusty ole Busse?
They'd have to be crazy to leave your hands untied and your knife in your possession.![]()

That was what I got out of the post at the beginning also.:thumbup:
Then Jerry chimed in and convinced me that come hell or high water, I WILL GET ME A NMSFNO!
Seriously, I've got several SwampRats and a few Scrapyards, but I never really got the madness over Busse, I thought that it was some cult collaboration to keep prices inflated and I figured that I got just as much knife from the Swamp or Yard.
When a fella steps up and says "I DON'T CARE IF YOU BEAT ON A CHAIN WITH THE DAMN THING, SEND IT IN AND WE WILL TENDERLY RESURRECT IT IN ALL OF ITS NOW CULT STATUS GLORY" I say to myself WOW
You made me a believer, both Downtown and Jerry, and I will never again be an INFI doubter.
Thought that you longtime Hogs might like to hear that, and especially you Jerry, you just demonstrated that your knives are truly built for tough times, guaranteed beyond compare, and I now believe that I WILL be able to take it with me and the Devil had better watch out when I get there!
