I have a new Busse Combat Grade "AXE Hammer" on the way. I came across this knife recently, and like the idea of supporting a worthwhile cause while adding to my Busse tool box.

Unrelated to the AXE Hammer, but on the topic of Busse knives, I was on an exercise a few months back, where were needed to put small marker flags (to denote pieces of human remains played by analogues of butcher's scraps) for a mass casualty event.

The one unforeseen--there's always at least one--was that the ground, while free of snow and ice and soft in the daytime, was hard as rock at dawn when the set up took place. Unsure how to rig this, I pulled my Busse team Gemini from its holster and proceeded to stab the ground on my hands and knees for an hour to accomplish the set up.

After innumerable strikes into muddy, rocky hard-frozen soil, there was not a scratch to my blade. My colleagues were pretty impressed that I could slice a page our of a guide book after all that. Bulletproof and beautiful.

Always room for another Busse in the toolbox.
