Saw this on another forum, pretty sure the first time I saw this idea was on a Busse's !!

:barf:

I don't think CBT's are a trademark owned by Jerry, so I wouldn't say that the custom folder above is a blatant copy of a Busse design. It actually looks pretty cool, lots of milling in that blade.
 
Brian is a great knifemaker and a great artist.
And he's a great guy and about as honest as they come.
I also have a similar knife of his bought a few years ago.

I very much doubt the scallops are original to Busse or a steal by Brian, although I confess I'm not knife scholar enough to know for sure where it originated.
Be careful throwing accusations like that around, no disrespect intended.
 
I thought the talon hole was the only thing that was suppose to be a BUSSE trademark.

no offense taken mate. I'll be the first to apologise to Brian if I am wrong. I', not saying for sure it's been copied just that it may have been !!

Brendan, your thread title says "more blatant copying!!", not this might be copying, or is this a copy...
 
as of the last 2 years, I've been seeing a lot of CB's on folders from columbia river, and a few fixed blades from custom guys.

The first place I've ever seen a CB was on kitchen knives though, so I think they've been around for a bit. It worked well in keeping the meats/cheeses/vegetables from sticking to the blade while slicing. So from my understanding CB's were borrowed from the kitchen.
 
Doesn't RJ Martin do that on a lot of his folders? I don't think there is any copying going on.
 
I agree, thats not really blatant, but this is....

When I found the pic the wife looked over my shoulder and asked what Busse it was.

Yup.

thats called scalloping, the "cbt" is just a ball end mill that takes the final cut to finish the main grind during cnc operations, rather then a flat end mill or fly cutter. Much like the talon hole or the spyderco hole, if you come into the market and haven't done the research or followed the particular manufacturers who claim the patents/copyright/trademarks, it would seem unlikely that anyone could ever patent using ball end mill to do a finish cut. I do not blame anyone for using the features, I only expect them to stop once the court slip is handed to them.

oh...ooops >< , I was under the impression the CB's in CBT were the grooves running down the blade like on a CG HG-55. Not the actual method of cutting them out...
my bad..lol

well... it is the finished result, not the method used to achieve it. However, I don't know what all the patent covers, it may cover the method used to produce it, and it may cover both horizontal and vertical "cb's".
