richstag- thanks for the pics, makes me excited! But, man am I going to make that knife ugly I'm going to put it through a real test up here. Alaskan coastal survival/campout weekend. I'll be using it in saltwater, spruce trees, and dirftwood in the cold. I'm not going to baby it, because I never baby what I shouldn't have to. I'll see what the blade looks like after that. If it's what I expect, it'll be better than my issued knives. They get destroyed fast!

I'd love to see some pics of destroyed knives.

You will be amazed at the performance of INFI steel. It is extremely rust resistant and exhibits very high toughness and wear resistance. I can think of no better knife for 'survival' than a Busse.

Beat the hell out of it, enjoy it and don't forget to post pictures.
