I have not used it yet - but I did a couple off slicing comparisons on cardboard with the ASHBM pictured -

As I expected the thinner stock on the BS allowed it to slice easier than the thicker ASHBM -

I also expect the BS to chop more deeply for the same reason. I have not weighed the knives, but the BS seems heavier.

My pleasure, sir! I hope your BS is in your hands ASAP!

Love my BS but after pics in this thread, its looking like a stripper might be the way to go. Need another one!

On a side note, has anyone felt like the micarta was milled differently than other Busse blades? No biggie but my edges seem a little sharper than what I'm used to.

I always take a piece of 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and smooth out the edges of the handles near the fasteners. Works great and no biting!
 
Petey, that stripper looks awesome :thumbup:

I'm kinda new around here, and haven't seen any other good picture of stripped infi.. Does it all look like that underneath?

Still waiting on my first Busse, the SHe-2, and I'm considering stripping it when it arrives, so any input is welcome. Thanks!

Thanks Daniel & everyone else...trust me the pleasure was all mine... :thumbup::D:thumbup:

Daniel, welcome to this great place! :)

All INFI has dimples at one time or another...of course satin blades have been ground, sanded, & polished down past those porcine pock-marks...

And it greatly depends on the model as to where the dimples are left remaining...

As in some models, the primary grind will effectively remove a lot of the dimpling...Like the NMSFNO, they're almost satin beneath their paint...I think FFG's are mostly like this, Saber grinds seem to have quite a lot of dimpling left behind especially toward the spine, & choil behind the plunge...

Also the size and randomness of the dimples is quite, well, random...

In addition, some blades have long striation marks & other random "character" marks which are ALWAYS very cool :cool:...

There's LOTS of stripper pics <blades, not poledancers :o> here...

Type in the model you're interested in and get to searching...also, Google images is your friend...:)

Here's a link to a SARsquatch I recently stripped...ENJOY! :

Great, thank you guys for the responses and the pictures! Very helpful :thumbup:

Those all look really nice, which makes me even more excited to get my INFI :D

Also, I think I might need a Battle Saw now too :rolleyes: Gotta find a way to scrape up some cash
 
Hogs posting pics of super clean strippers: are you media blasting your Battle Saws to get them so clean? Process?

Just put it in the trough & it gets licked clean. :p
Or maybe it's a lot of elbow grease with a wide variety of abrasives in a specific order. ;)
No blaster here.
