Ok guys... I don't think all this is needed here. Frank is a jackass. Enough said. I'm sure he means well but all of his comments make him sound like a blow hard. No one here thinks he is a knife expert (that's probably because of the fact that he's NOT one). No one thinks he has ever been in a fight with a bear. Though I vigorously welcome him to try. I would love to see how that turns out. And I seriously doubt, even though he thinks at the ripe old age of 51 that he can sink a big knife all the way into a human, that he has ever been in an actual fight with a knife and been forced to kill a man. I know people like him. He wants attention. He is not educated enough to make any kind of observations about these knives that our more learned forumites haven't aleady made... Like our Buddy Cliff Stamp ( who has made just about all of the educated remarks here). I have no idea how much it costs Jerry to do the asymmetrical grind. But they are his knives and bottom line if you want them, you're gonna have to pay what he wants. And Sir, even though you may be at the ripe old age of 51 I doubt you have as much experience in the knife industry as our friend Jerry Busse. Does the choil really suck? I don't think so. How did Jerry come to the decision to add it??? Not by scratching his head and thinking "why the hell not?". He looked towards those poeple who depend on their knives to save their very lives. So just going on the sad fact that you don't like it... I think the choil is here to stay. Should you want a knife without it, you are more than welcome to have one made in the custom shop at Busse COMBAT and pay much much more than the knife you already hinted at being too expensive. I think Cold Steel knives are great. But they are mass-produced by a corporation. It takes one hell of a knife maker to take on a Company with as much power and wealth as Cold Steel and consistantly make a better product with his own two hands. One man versus 1,000 machines and factory workers. Damn! that's impressive. So my requst to my fellow Busse loving brothers and sisters is to let this die. He will go away as his type generally does.

First impressions are usually the scale by which we are judged unless we make our second with something sharp and pointy.
