KAAK's Pass Around (Closed) Status

Another impression - I have been wondering for some time now about the TekLok clip. The sheath has one on the back.

I am comparing the TekLok to the Bianchi clip. The TekLok is easier to close - it just snaps closed. Slightly easier to open, not much.

However, overall I think I much prefer the Bianchi clip. It is all metal. I can use it slipped over my belt without closing the prongs if I am only going to be using for a short time and am not concerned about the security and staying on the belt. If I am concerned I can close the Bianchi clip prongs and I KNOW it will absolutely NOT come off.

This may also indicate a preference on my part - in parts that can take punishment and which I am relying on completely, I prefer metal. I am positive the web belt would fail before the metal Bianchi clip would break or fail. I am not as sure about the plastic TekLok. The tabs in the clipping mechanism on the TekLok I am sure would not take as much use or punishment as the Bianchi clip.

Getting this chance to view and use the TekLok up close has convinced me that I will only use the Bianchi clip in the future.

I just took the TekLok clip off the sheath. The Bianchi clip would fit using the same holes. The mounting holes on the Bianchi clip would have to be drilled out very slightly to fit the mounting hardware used in mounting the TekLok, but other than that no modifications would have to be made.

The TekLok is a good piece of equipment, but I think the Bianchi clip is far better and more secure. Just My Opinion though.

Note: I have no connection with Bianchi other than as a user of their equipment and their clip.
 
You better not put a clip on my sheath :mad: ;) :D

Actually, if the tek-lock is facing down like ^ when putting on the belt, try flipping it upward like V so you can reach the tabs to undo the tek-lock from the top. This is easier for me and my preference for rocking the tek-lock ;) :D

Glad you are enjoying it and that has the standard handles. Thanks for the great write up as well. :cool:

Nah - I didn't put the Bianchi clip on the sheath - just unscrewed the TekLok, checked the holes and then put the TekLok right back on. I was 99% sure that holes matched up before I took the TekLok off, but I wanted to make sure.

The TekLok is good - just my preference is for the Bianchi.

Interesting idea though - flipping the clip over. I can do the same with the Bianchi and it is easier to secure and unsecure from the belt that way as you wrote. Only I couldn't use it in the temporary fashion I like to do if I'm only going to carry the sheathed knife for a few minutes

The knife has a really good edge on it. Whoever, sharpened it did an excellent job.

I checked the Busse site and I could only find two knives listed. Do they still sell this model? Both of the models listed are shorter.
 
tblade,
No, Busse only makes one model at a time. So right now they are taking orders for the Badger Attack TAC. The Fusion Steel Heart has already been here and gone and probably will not be seen again anytime soon. (at least in the fusion handle style anyway). So the only source for a FSH is the second market. (bladeforum Exchange for example). That's why the resale value is so high on Busses. If you want one, you must pay what someone else is asking for it. And it all depends on how bad you want it.
Keep your eye open on the forums though. Jerry might throw a few in in an Extravaganza, or you'll see a great deal on a user on the exchange!
The hunt is half the fun with Busse. And you appreciate it that much more when you get it! :thumbup:
 
tblade, if you are looking to buy a CGFBM they are available from http://www.bussecompanystore.com. They only offer them in Mud finish and regular snakeskin handles.

Otherwise, the Bladeforums exchange is a good source to find some of the various varieties of other FBMs that were made, including some of the LEs.
 
Looks like this one is heading out tomorrow if it hasn't already :D

Just a friendly bump as a reminder to myself. Where da pics at?:confused:

You won't be let down, KAAK has passed around a beast of a knife... you will have a lot of fun beating it... I know I do with mine!!!!
 
Alright guys... There's not molesting, beating, abusing or even AYYYYYEEEEE Dare I say it... USING of the blade in any of these pics.... BUT I hope to get a chance this weekend.

I know it's a "user" but she ain't MY USER... so the beatings will be minimal.

Anyway, let me see if I can get some pics up here...

Alright guys... I have more pics to post.... but being photogenically dysfunctional I'm having more luck with sending them out to someone to post em up... And to think I work on puters for a living.... sheeesh!!!

Anywho, I have a few that I'd like to send to someone who has Yahoo messenger and a fast connection as uploading them and downloading them via email is a PITA....

Anyone here fluent in picpost speak and wanna lend me a hand???

If so my yahoo id is DevilMan75.

Thanx in advance,
