My new basic 8 bit me twice first day I got it (yesterday)

[DamascusBowie]

So I got bandaids on the tips of my right hand pinky and ring finger from just touching the edge the way Ive touched blade edges all my life. Granted, its best not to fiddle fingers around the edge anyway but I cant help but feel that this blade has a type of sharpness I havent experienced.

The first cut was on my pinkie, i barely touched the edge and felt a slight cold sting and looked and saw no trace of a cut, and for a couple minutes it looked like nothing happened but 5 minutes later blood starter trickling out, just a couple small drops but blood nonetheless, several minutes after contact. Very strange. Im not a knife expert, but have had knives for more than a few decades.

Later that evening I accidentally touched the edge with my ring finger, a slight gentle touch but that one started to bleed right away, and maybe a bit more than the first.

Granted that I should have been more careful and keep fully sheathed when not in use and not leave them naked on the nightstand, but man this steel feels colder and sharper than any Ive handled before.

Infi is awesome, but the Basic 8 is a bad bama-jama! Time to beat it like it stole something!

I let my work Buddy see my NMFSH yesterday, its .32 thick, and easy shaving sharp. 1st thing the guy did is sticks his fingers on the edge, and just as he was about to pull them down along the edge, i stopped him. Not sure what he was thinking, but it wouldn't of been pretty lol

That's how they show affection.

I found that funny ^

Shoulda warned ya.


Whoah...hold on...wait... Delete this post before some attorney reads it and forces Busse to stamp warnings on their blades like Ruger revolvers have warnings stamped on their barrels. I'd hate to see a billboard of warnings stamped into the beautiful satin finished side of an INFI blade.

They like to mark their territory.

That's a sign it likes you. Its a keeper.

The Basic 8 has a really nice geometry. Full-flat primary grind basically ground to a zero edge. Mine are true scalpels!

I guess you figured out the hard way that it ain't like training a puppy not to bite, you don't just stick your hand right back in to make it gag. INFI will win everytime.
