INFI vs bullet!

SubaruSTi · Dec 10, 2012

INFI 1 Bullet 0!

I must have put a round in this semi dead tree I cut down the other day, I found this when I was splitting it with my TGLB. It didnt dent the edge at all even after looking at it with a flashlight back at the house. The blade has a nice streak of lead and copper on one side, I guess its a badge of honor since it wont come off with my usual soap and water cleaning. Heres the crappy pic!

Ok go to 0:49 the steel is 1055 so I would imagine that there would be no problem with INFI doing the same thing

Awesome!!!

I know Dan Busse has shot a few blades with a 50bmg with no failures

This wood wasn't super easy to split as you had to keep whacking until you got through it, some just pop off but other than that I didn't notice anything special.

Not a special feat but I'm glad it wasn't a nail!

Great pic... awesome experience.

I was batoning through some really tough oak with my FBM Le at a camp fire in the dark when, after splitting the log, I noticed there was a nail in it

. I almost had a panic attack. I got a flashlight and started to inspect for damage and noticed it only had a scratch along the satin finish. Wow, was I relieved to see that the edge was fine with NO damage what so ever.

Busse ROCK ON!

Cool picture!

Just keep in mind that bullet lead is usually 8-20 BHN (Brinell hardness), which if you converted 58 Rockwell C to BHN it's just about six hundred BHN. So even a very hard cast bullet is 30x softer then a steel knife

That is awesome, bullet doesn't look like it put up much of a fight against the TGLB. :thumbup:

Nice pics mate!!

But Don't worry infi eats nails

This is some 40 year old Aussie hardwood from a house frame and man it takes some hard batoning to split,
Took 4 or 5 hits as good as I've got to get past the nail and barely rolled the edge

Wow...
