It would be nice to see if there is any difference and collect data for future steel designing.
But I DON’T think Joe is competent of conducting it with such non-productive protocol and bias:(
How about get some OGs together and test some Busses (along with some classic knives like BK9 as a benchmark) in the Cliff way? Several runs, quantitated meansurements, data analyisis, strict control… hard but imperical

Seems to be a common occurrence with catastrophic failure.

I was super impressed how it handled the car that windshield support section is one of the tougher sections of the car
Edge held up great

I want to see how an original BME performs in contrast. I can’t confirm, but I think that had a different infi composition
Pre 2005 ? Regardless geometry is one of the main aspects a lot of people still can’t seem to understand. Those YouTube commentators are absolute buffoons.

Time out!

Pre-2002*

Continue!

At this point, I suggest stop sending him knives, it is a waste.
His community doesn’t even have the slightest grattitude for the doners’ generous gifts and trust. :confused:

In the video he said he purchased it from someone. The AFBM video bugged me a little because that was considered " Thinfi " and here he was testing it for durability. The BME2 vid didn't really phase me as much. Hell, send him a HOG knife and hopefully he hurts himself with it, ^-^. Hahaha.

Joe probably has more fanboys than most knife companies and yet they call us fanboys, ignoring the fact that it was memebers here that sent expensive knives to Joe X for FREE

Yes what is it with that lot? They're weirdly obsessed with the concept of fanboys.

I appreciate your thoughts and opinion, BUT, 300 strikes from an iron rod is “appropriate” ?

No not really, the iron rod and the brick/block test is slightly absurd I suppose. The blade still did pretty well all things considered. I was referring to all the stages prior to the rod. So chopping, car door, and the tip test.
 
I only have 2 Busses and a Regulator ; im hardly a fanboy but anyone who has one is a sucker ; hes a blowhard he should change his name to Blow x
 
The video he "almost loses the BMe" has a particularly spicy comment about lawsuits, varying heat treat/steel all under the name INFI, res-c shadiness, using different heat treats on demo blades vs production, etc...

Joex is loved by the haters that is for sure!

Well the "varying steel all under the name INFI" is true and it's not being a hater to comment on that part.
It would have been very easy to call this INFI-2 or INFI-NG but Busse chose to keep the INFI name and change the composition (in fact simply using the A8-mod steel).
I still love my multiple Busse knives but IMHO the name issue is a questionable decision. Imagine Bark River doing this!

National food chains change the the recipes of their main items throughout the years. A Big Mac is still a Big Mac.
I get where you’re coming from, though. Would be nice to have direct confirmation from the man as to old INFI vs new INFI. It may be out there, but I haven’t seen it.
 
^Yup that bugs me too and w food at least you know its still a burger, INFI has really never been officially disclosed . Oh if Bark River did this all hell would break loose : carbon v turning out to be 0170-6 didnt seem to cause many waves but it should have : that was hyped up to be something that in the end was already in common use for years by Camillus .

☝️

I would be very much down to participate like old times. 10-15 years ago there used to be meet ups coordinated like this on the Busse sub forum

Carbon V wasn't ALWAYS 0170-6 though. The reason this didn't cause more uproar is because by the time information started becoming more available mainstream in great part thanks to this forum they had already gone overseas and their fan base changed.

As I understand it Carbon V at certain times was also 52100, and at least 1 other steel.
 
As far as more scientific testing I would love to see a group of guys get together to do it.

I have done more scientific testing for performance and I have upcoming more sciency testing on smaller 1095 knives but people don't often do this kind of testing because it's a FRICKIN TON OF WORK.

It looks like fun but the reality is it's a huge money and time investment. Otherwise everyone would be doing it.
