We do not tolerate flaming here, nor do we support or tolerate childish behavior related to responses. I have locked posts before because of the response taking a personal versus and informational turn.

They were narrow minded pussies then and they are even bigger pussies now

And so I'm off to do some work. It's worthwhile reading back over this thread to see why people might get upset.
 
I think it is interesting to reread this thread to watch you not answer any direct questions and only issue baseless accusations.:rolleyes:

You have got to hand it Jimbo, he is one secure guy in a very unsecure enviroment. Maybe if I buy some more Busse's I can be secure too
 
Jimbo,

You are quoting a post that was made by a Busse forum member in response to you locking the thread over at OSF. It was made AFTER the fact.

I am still waiting to hear about the cutdown that I made to you that caused you to react the way you did. Now remember, you can only quote a cutdown that I made if it happened BEFORE you reacted to it. . . You can't really react to something before it happens. . . Well, I can't anyway. ;)
 
Can anyone but me see my posts? I'm starting to think I'm invisible the way Jimbo is ignoring my rather simple questions...:rolleyes:

Carefull Jimbo! You might hurt my feelings... or worse yet... make me feel insecure!:p
 
Alpha,

Apparently we make a knife that is so outrageous that you don't need to have ANY survival skills or knowledge of the outdoors whatsoever in order to survive with it.

I think they are referring to the new Fusion Battle Mistress. Rumor has it that you set it down in the middle of the wilderness and it builds your base camp for you, kills wild game, builds a fire, and then turns into a Swedish bikini team girl who then cooks for you!:eek: :eek: (Sheath not included!);)
 
That's always the way i understood it. I buy the knife, it takes care of me no questions asked. Do i even need to point out where to make the base camp with the new battle mistress or does it automatically pick the best spot for my pillow and build camp around that.....
 
Yes Jerry, that's the one! I NEED it or I will never be "secure" in my adventures.;) :p :D I guess it takes all kinds, but once again, you have handled yourself very well. Good show. If you weren't at the top, they wouldn't aim for you.

My understanding is that you attach the knife to you with some rope and then it just pulls you to where you need to be and goes to work on the camp site etc.
 
Gentlemen and Ladies,

I think that there have now been some unfortunate comments coming from both sides. This thread has taken a bad turn. There is no need to perpetuate negativity. Be direct and aggressive with simple truth, substantial argument, not flaming rhetoric and aspersions. There are some real miscommunications and issues to deal with here, and low behavior doesn't help.

Please don't lower this forum to where I no longer want to participate. Show how informative, convivial, and special this forum can be.

--Mike
 
Mike, the lack of communication seems to lie with Jimbo not being willing to substantiate or support his own comments. We have tried the simple and direct approach only to be ignored. He doesn't seem to want the truth. He seems to want to repeat himself and not have to actually clarify any of his own statements.

If you know what Jimbo is attempting to say, feel free to answer for him. As he is apparently unable, I'm sure he won't mind.:rolleyes:
 
There were a lot of special kids on my bus. We called it the sesame street bus. We had these two girls that were both very large. They both had the same name. It was Patty. There was a boy who was more special than me. Everyone called him special Ross. Then there was a weird kid..Lester G. we called him. He was always picking some large bunions on his feet. So what we had was…two all beef patties, special Ross, and Lester G. picking bunions on the sesame street bus.
 
Mike, I think that what you're seeing is a bit of frustration being vented by myself and some others who have been constantly put down over there. I agree that we don't want it to pour over onto our forum. I have watched Busse Combat get kicked in the teeth for over a year on that forum. It is pathetic. They talk about performance but refuse to discuss specific measures. They slander me and my company's name at any opportunity. They turn many potential customers away and go out of their way do whatever they can to damage our name and reputation.

I think it's time for them to step up and present some facts. I want some factual performance data on the knives that they promote.

Sorry for the rant,

Jerry
 
You have every right to rant. No need to apologize. I have seen you offer to compare your knives performance to anyone else's, and to do it publicly at a show or something. I bet that you have never had takers. Like I said, they complain because your at the top, but they need to put their money and knives where their mouths are.

This forum will always welcome new members and all types of questions, so what if we circle the wagons when someone comes out of left field to make unfounded statements. Had his knife failed him in a situation and put him at risk, then it would be a different story. But that's not the case here. ANyway, I'm off to ride my little bus through town:p
 
Personally, I do not appreciate the comment by 1whobuys, calling all the folks at the OSF pussies. There's no excuse for name calling, and ignoring that remark actually encourages such childish behavior. If I were to blatantly insult all the members of this forum would that also be ignored? Seems like a double standard to me.

Jerry, I believe the OSF knife that you posted a pic of and mocked, is going to be a awesome outdoor survival knife. The size and design is perfect for the two uses that most true woodsman survival knives are used for: butchering game and woodwork. It has a Scandinavian (no secondary bevel) grind. The Scandi grind has proven itself for centuries by folks who use woodsman knives everyday in the frigid Northern woods of Europe. The OSF knives are being made out of a variety of steels and if the comments of serious outdoor survival professionals like Ray Mears mean anything, then the primary use of a knife is to cut with. The OSF knife will cut like there's no tomorrow. At 5/32 of an inch thick, 01 tool steel or CPM S30V will also prove to be incredibly tough and can actually be used to pry with. Not that thicker knives like many of yours won't cut; they will. However it doesn't take a degree in rocket science to know that thin blades slice much better than sharpened pry bars. I have noticed that you are constantly revising your knife designs, and you are to be commended for that. Serious woodsmen, unlike armchair commandos, generally buy and actually use their knives. Historically, woodsmen have generally preferred thinner blades that actually cut and are affordable. I can see even you are beginning to reevaluate your knife designs and as a result have come out with thinner bladed models lately.

To slam or mock the OSF, it's members or the OSF knife designed with input from the woodsmen who frequesnt the OSF is really unecessary and uncalled for. It makes absolutely no sense to me to compare your "combat" knives with woodsman knives. Nor does it make sense to compare this forum with any outdoor survival forum since both are unique and have their place and respective following.

It seems to me that the guys here are ganging up on Jimbo and that is a shame. He makes a lot of sense to me. His remarks are very true in that it is not the tool but the individual's skills that really matter in a survival situation. To jump all over him (or anyone else) for stating their personal opinion does seem like insecurity to me. I believe the bottom line is that Busse Combat makes good knives for their intended purpose; but then so do many other factories. Diversity and competition in the marketplace is a great thing, but attacking or mocking those who have differing opinions or products than yourself is a sad thing to witness and will keep many from ever purchasing a Busse knife.
