INFI vs

Man... have you even been reading the posts in here? :/

Just do what I did, add that one note joke to your ignore list. You wont miss out on anything, just idiocy.

This isn't any new info, but it all depends on what you want the knife for. Everything is a compromise. Better at one thing is worse at another. That's why most of us have more than one knife. When it comes to larger/heavier knives THAT ARE DESIGNED MOSTLY FOR CHOPPING, a thicker edge is a good thing.

If you want a large knife for slicing, either buy something else or a thinner Busse. I needed a stout thick knife for CHOPPING at campsites and cottages while still being semi small, so I bought a Badger Attack Ergo. Fits my needs perfectly. I'm not going to slice with it, I'm going to hack with it. And by the way, my edge looks thinner than the BAE in the pic, but it doesn't matter because when it comes time to resharpen it I'll just do it to fit my needs anyway.

When I want to slice, I'll use a smaller thinner knife. (The BAE came hair popping sharp BTW, I was expecting a semi-sharpened prybar and I was way off). But it all comes down to filling a need. There are large knives for chopping, large knives for slicing, and even some small knives that are thick and prybar-like (Strider DB comes to mind).

But they all fill a need. Don't buy a Spydie Kiwi and complain that it can't pry open a door. Same as don't buy a knife designed for chopping (larger Busse) and complain that it won't remove your splinters.

I wish you really would put me on your ignore list so I don't have to read this kind of comment from a newbie forumite with a row of fake chiclets in his signature line.
