New old pics! Busse #9 Test at the Blade Show

[Mike Turber]

Jerry Busse has recently ventured into the production knife world with the introduction of his Busse Combat Basics series, a new line of fixed blades featuring a modified version of the INFI Steel. When tested at the 1999 Blade Show, a 1" portion of the blade was able to make 2771 cuts through a 1" hemp rope without going dull; we just ran out of rope!

Here are some pics taken at the Blade Show.

Jerry cut'n away!

Still shaving after 2,000 cuts!

Still slicing paper at 2,500 like butter!

Lori counting each cut with me.

2,771 cuts and we run out of rope. How much rope can this thing cut?

Who knows.....

The most interesting part of these pictures is Lori! She is cute!!

P.S. I hope she is not the wife of anyone on this forum. Otherwise, the husband might come after me with a Busse knife!

 

[Orion]

Ummmmmm....

Lori is Turber's wife.

And now that you mention it.... she is kinda cute!!

Don't worry... Mike's the kind of guy that will take things like that as a compliment.

Orion

 

[Mike Turber]

Yes and Lori thanks you for the compliment as well

Close call there - I was worried that I would have to warn my neighbors that they might find my head on a stake!

 

[Kevin Wilkins]

OK Mike, I'm convinced! I just ordered one of the Forum edition #9's. I'm waiting to be amazed! How soon do they ship?

Just wondering...

You sliced paper after 2500 cuts - but there is still a lot of rope on the picture....

You said that you had run out of rope after 2771 cuts. Did you cut the remaining rope in 271 cuts?

Or maybe those pictures are not in order??

Tell me more about this knife, I'm fairly new to the knife world (own 2 Randalls) and would like more info on the Busse #9 and his style of knives.

How long before these knives will ship???

What is the duration of this price??

Thanks Much!!

Mike, what's the black coating on the BF edition?

Besides being black is there anything else exclusive to the BF edition? I figure Jerry will come out with a black blade for general sale anyway and it would be nice to have the BF edition special.

P.S. If the coating was plain automotive primer it sure would be easy to touch up and make it look like new!

Just kidding I think...

 

[Aubrey]

Guys

Any news if Jerry has a working e-mail now?

Many thanx

 

[Mike Turber]

The pictures are not in any real order.

The black coating is a powder coat, I beleive.

Jerry will have a working email when we rebuild his site.

We should get the first batch tomorrow.

First batch tomorrow - excellent news!

By the way, does your wife happen to have a sister that is single and available?!?

 

[Walt Welch]

WOW!! Talk about really being impressive!!

Not the cutting test; although that was pretty impressive itself. I am talking about Lori. The only other pic I recall seeing of her was her spraying Mike with pepper spray!

Lori; is your grandmother single, perhaps?

Watch out Mike & Lori, the hounds are hot on the trail here at BF! (hark, is that an Elvis tune I hear playing?)

Lori's sister, Melanie is married to Dudly who sells knives on the side. He is a brick layer by trade.

Lori's mother's real last name is Pillsbury. Yes the same as the Pilsbury dough boy. They actually sold the family name to Pillsbury.

Man that pepper spray pic is going to haunt me for life!

And Walt I will try to get a .wav file of my famous Turkey call for you!
