This was my week with the rare 1 of 14 clip point Natural Outlaw that ON_THE_EDGE was kind enough to share in a passaround. :D I would have liked to have more free time in the week to play with her, but despite the rainy weather and work, I did get to take her out and try a few things.

This is a great knife… great blade design with a really nice looking polished spine. The clip point really adds a nice touch and it did not eat up the baton when splitting off a section of wood. I do like the knife, and hope to one day have an outlaw… but I don’t think the ergo handles are for me. :o This was the first time I’ve held and ergo blade. When she first arrived, I thought the ergo style was pretty much the same as the fusion style, but after holding them both for a bit, you can tell the subtle differences. So… you all can rest easy and know your ergos are safe with me. ;)

A special thanks to OTE for giving me the chance to try out such a rare Busse… and for giving this lil’ piglet a first time using an Outlaw and an Ergo… THANKS Bro!!! :thumbup: :cool:

Here’s a few pics for you all to enjoy...

First, a lil’ beauty shot…

Ate right thru this dead wood with ease…

Bites pretty deep into this pine tree with one chop…

Did a little batoning thru a piece of oak… I did use a 2nd stick as a wedge to help get thru a knot.
(Don’t worry OTE… I didn’t baton into the concrete block.)

I’ll be packing her up to go on out to the next lucky piglet… Thanks again Chris!!!

Great review and awesome pics! I love that blade. I wonder if OTE also does passarounds in the Netherlands:p
 
I still miss that thing and I only had it a few days:(

Thanks for the great write up:thumbup:
 
Nice review, Lil' Foo! :cool:

Glad you found some time to play. It's a great knife, and a rare one at that. The Ergo handle grew on me. The more I used it, the more I liked it.

Thanks. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the great pics and review. I'm sure I've said this before, but I am really glad that folks are getting to use this and at the same time are getting to know a little more about what they like and dislike about certain Busses. There are so many different configurations that any chance to use something you haven't seen or held before has got to be some help, at least that is my hope.

OP (Jamie), you're up next my friend!
