I no longer have any of the labs I built and ran when I was a younger physicist. Wish I did ... I can think of a lot of interesting tests I'd like to run on Mr. Busse's favorite steel.

Particularly some surface-sensitive electron and photon based spectroscopies and a few high-angle x-ray based analyses. Maybe a few micro-strain and stress tests.

Doesn't really matter, though. I've been slicing, cutting, and chopping with INFI for over 2 years now. It is NOT the best steel for every application. It IS the best all-arounder, as far as I'm concerned. And I own and use knives by the best in the business (Chris Reeve, Bill Siegle, Jerry Hossom, etc. and etc. ... and etc.).

It's also ridiculously easy to care for.

I won't be without at least a basic Busse set (3 - EDC, Camp, Chopper) ever again.
 
My two sense. Is INFI that great? I can't really answer that because I haven't done a real extensive test on it. I use a Battle Mistress quite a lot - for sure it's a good steel because it has held up quite well so far. It seems similar to my ATS-34 or C30V knives, therefore we can say the steel is no slouch. I really like Busse knives not just because of the INFI but because of the design. I like the Battle Mistress geometry and I really like the Fusion Magnum handles which are one of my favorites ( the other being the Randall commando style). So you have a great design, good steel and quality handles. They are normally a bit overpriced if you can't get what you desire directly from their site. This is because a lot of collectors known as hogs buy them up like crazy. The hogs are real hogs and cause inflation on the Busse market. They have cult value just like Randalls so it is something you just must live with. But there are two good things about that. One is if you have some extra money laying around they are a good investment. The price of an AK47 went up over 60% in one year! Another good thing about Busse collectors which is really cool is that they beat the s**t out of their knives, strip them, sand them, reprofile them (me included) and none of this makes the knives loose value. You can even sell beaters to hogs. Try that with a Randall. I like to use my knives so I think it's great to be able to use your collection and not lose value. Summing it up, INFI seems quite an adequate steel but INFI in reality is synonimous with BUSSE and the main thing, for me, is the cool design and the value. Simply put Busses make a statement. Busses are cool.
 
If the InFi Supreme Beings came down from Mars and said only "1" knife could be kept out of all I own....It would be my ASH1 CG.....Yes, it's that good! :thumbup:
 
I'd say it is that awesome. Look at the AK and ruck threads and the toughness, wear resistance, and flexibility, of those blades. People have thrown them, cut 2X4's, and chopped/limbed with them. Simply AMAZING for ONE single steel alone without differential HT and in those sizes. Their may be a steel or two like 3V or S7 that can offer some of these qualities but not most or all on top excellent corrosion resistence. I defy you to find a better performing non traditional sword like blade with a modern steel at these ridiculously low prices (even on the secondary market). Heck I would even put mine against some more expensive traditionally made carbon japanese blades. Pure insanity and good to go out of the box Busse shipped them in. What's more if you full on convex them they're even better!!!
 
Has the production stopped completely on the FFBM? I figure if im gonna go Busse i want the "ultimate" knife. Then I saw the knife test.com test and now i feel like i need it haha. Would another model be just a good/better? What are my chances of finding a FFBM thats not grossly over priced?

Im far from a newbie as far as knives go but i am pretty new to knives of this caliber so i thank you for all your help!
