Looks like the busse's are whoopin butt.

The CRK Green Beret didn't even make it past the 2x4 hammering.

The Keffeler Monster took some light edge damage on the brick chopping test and very minor tip damage on the brick hammering test, but otherwise survived the entire test

i think these knives are pretty close to the size/weight of the Busse Ash and FFBM that were tested, and neither busse took ANY damage on these tests...

I guess that kind of speaks for itself
 
Yeah, the Chris Reeve folks weren't happy about that... D2 is a good knife steel but isn't known for it's lateral strength. It does best in smaller knives.

Lots of guys don't like Noss's 'testing', but I think it is good knowledge to have. I like to know how far a given blade can be pushed before it fails.


Still, telling a fella his knife is sub-par is kinda like calling his wife 'ugly'.

I was surprised at the CR fail too I've carried and used the green beret quite a bit with no problems at all. Of course I cut wood and split wood and other knife tasks, not whacking on bricks or throwing it. Its s30v not d2 by the way.

Your mileage my vary of course but even a knife labeled as hard use I'm not going to throw at a brick wall thats just idiotic to expect no damage.
 
BePrepared ---- I think your stuck between fantasy and reality... almost every single post or remark you make is how superior INFI is... while I also like it, and love a lot of Jerry designs.. what exactly is it kicking butt in? chopping blocks? I have a pneumatic chisel that will do that all day every day, cutting metal??? I have a 50 ton press shear with A-2 blades that will cut steel all day everyday. while I appreciate your enthusiasm for INFI, some of your remarks make you look quite foolish. .... if you can point me in the direction of a INFI blade that can hold its edge through gutting, skinning, and cutting a adult male mule deer without any problems please point me in that direction,-( I would honestly love to find one)- all of mine have failed in that department.


all the tests are subjective anyways, Noss's $10 knife that did great in his tests, didn't fair well in mine after snapping within minutes,
 
interesting... that was a very impressive combination of information and insult

trust me when i say that looking foolish is not at the top of my concern list.

YMMV
 
Noss's test are what turned me on to the Busse-kin family of knives. I enjoy seeing him do things to knives I would never do to mine. INFI is terrific stuff but I'm not throwing away my s30v and D2 folder's because I have INFI. Each have their place in my line up. Please continue:)

Unklfranco
 
i seriously wish that the infi folder were more than just a dream, but for now CPM154 will have to be good enough
 
Please, please, PLEASE...let's not rehash the whole Noss thing AGAIN. It's been done ad nauseum.

This is surprising to me. i'm not a hunter, but many folk here have posted positive comments on how well their Busse blade has held up processing game.

What knife/what steel do you prefer for that task?
 
in a few months, i'll be using my new MUK LE to process a season's worth of deer and pigs... i'll definitely post the results.

I will probably do a comparison of the MUK with the other 2 knives i commonly use, a Kershaw JYDII and a custom D2 drop point, both of which have proven to have excellent edge retention.

I will be very disappointed if the MUK can't process 2 deer without resharpening, as both of my other 2 can

This +1 :thumbup:



Are the tests scientific? Nope. Entertaining. Yup. Would I like to see new videos? Yup.


Let's leave it be.

The same arrows slung at the busse consumer base on a regular basis.

I gotta ask, what model of busse did you use that performed so poorly? What angle per side, what grit, and what sharpening method did you use?

INFI is a high maleability steel thats brought to an average rockwell of 58rc. As far as I can remember the BAD is the only model with an rc of 60, but there may be others. Because it has high malleability if it's brought too fine of an edge (.005" behind the sharpened portion) or to 10 degree's per side, it can act floppy in use. One method of getting around this is a glass smooth burnishing rod:

The malleability at high hardness that helps it deform where other steels would chip works against it in thin edges, but then also works in it's favor when sharpening and burnishing. The rod is able to shove the metal back into position and can often restore it's initial edge in 2 swipes without the need for metal removal.
 
These are just reposted videos, his stuff went down when he wasn't around to agree to google's new privacy policies. Now he is uploading everything all over again. Whine about the tests all you want they expose who talks the talk and who walks the walk.

and here we are, on the Busse forum.

I have said it before and I guess I will say it again. I wholeheartedly approve of anyone breaking any knife they want to, more power to them. Very few people care if you break your knife.

Noss was an annoying mental case from the start (tilting at windmills) and his subsequent fanbase doesn't fall far behind in the annoying department.
