I want a *gasp* thin Busse.

I was reading somewhere that the BAD was hardened to over 60, any problems so far with chipping/breakage?
 
I spend a lot of time in the woods, i've tried all the small Busse knives discribed, and found the Culti to be the best bushcraft knife by far. With a good kydex sheath and some paracord it makes a great neck knife.

I've had one for a while and it never skips a beat. Never any chipping and I abuse it alot ay work. It's a Busse!
 
I've done quite a bit of bushcraft works (notches, bow drill divots, etc) with my BADs, and never a problem.
 
I have the Black Tie Warden and it takes a tremendous amount of abuse for a thin(nish) knife. Great for many chores, but on the stubby side.
I was not able to keep either of the Culties I have had, but they are exceptional for bushcraft and such. I need to get another one someday.
 
The Cultie is the Busse version of a bushcraft knife IMO.

It has a thicker tip than the BAD, and the straight handle makes it a much better knife for this type of use.
 
Nobody has mentioned the Anorexic Badgers...if you can find one and afford it...pretty sweet.

I think thats bigger than he's looking for, but here is a pic of it and the other smaller Busse's.

The Cultie wins hands down as a small buchcraft type knife. I use a black micarta with mosaic pins Cultie...the handle feels better in hand with pins.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the BADs. :thumbup:

I have an use a culti in the kitchen all the time but...
I'm curious from all those that posted it's best for
bushcraft stuff as to why you all feel that way?

Anyone care to share their reasoning? :confused:

Personally it is about the whole shape. The thin blade, longer handle and straight spine make it very easy to use in many of the hand positions needed to carve, notch and shave in making traps and the other intricate duties of bushcraft.
YMMV.:)

The AD handle is not good for many cuts. It is great for a straight push/stab cut or palming the knife while cutting towards self. The straight handle of the Cultie gives you much better control for any cut other than those.

Try this for one example...try making fuzz sticks, or cut meat or anything else while cutting away from yourself with an AD, then a Cultie. You will feel the fulcrum effect of the staright handle that you won't get with any handle with rear drop. Gives you much more power and control on these types of cuts.
 
BTW, I still feel that the BA III is the best knife ever. I just wish I could afford one.:o
 
Thanks!

Sounds like I need to take the culti out to the woods for a bit. :thumbup:

You are both right on:cool:

THe cultie smokes the ad or bad when it comes to cleaning a deer IMO too.
Hands down no comparison.

The BAD point is too pointed and it will stick into every vertebra when removing tenderloins. THe cult has enough belly and more of a rounded tip so that it will roll down the spine and skip off the bones.
