Overall Best Mid Size Busse

BlackNinja · Mar 17, 2011

AZTimT
I classify my blade sizes as follows:
S = under 5"
M = 5-7"
L = 7-9"
XL = over 9"

_________________________________________________________________
My size-chart looks pretty similar:

S - 3 - 5"
M - 5 - 7" (7.01", .03", .05", .75"...)
L - 8 - 10.5"
XL - 10.75 - 12.75"
XXL 12.75"+

MY Answer:

ZTSJ, BJ- or any Satin Jack (for the most part) - or -
HR or TB

Best mid sized Military/Survival knife might be the Team Gemini.

I'm waiting for a Custom Shop Team Gemini with satin or DCBB finish and no fuller. I would buy one of those in an instant. No interest whatsoever in the coated blades.

Ratweiler!!!

An anorexic satin version would be sweet. This one has a pretty thick grind.

I'd like to see that one:thumbup: I don't like the fuller either...

Alright, since most agree that 6" is "midsize" I vote Boss Jack.
I have a SJTAC- but to be honest it's more of a "fighter" than a user....sure is fun to play with though.

I gotta get me 1 of those. :foot:

I prefer the thinner .23 -.25 SHBA's.

The TG would be cool but for two things. The proto BJ were way too thick edged and so is the TG. Also, someone has to say it, the double guard is ridiculous. Yes, you can work around it, but why would you want to?

Maybe you're floating in a large pepsi can with Navy markings on it, minus a tail rotor, and the usual exits are blocked by half the parts you'd need to build your own turbo jet. I wouldn't mind a double guard about then.

And the correct answer is............Basic 7!

I agree - the Basic 7 is my favorite!! I also like the various ASH-1 models.

Perfection although thinner would be sweet! Mines .236 and it has dimples.

Ok, if I am doing the real life version of the helo dunker then maybe I would want a double guard. But those days are long behind me so I will still stick with no double guard. Remember, never let go of your reference point!

.22 Ash and SAR 6. That is why I have both.

Boss Jack combat grade. If you want to do damage.

Yes this.

It also depends on your hand size, a SFNO or FSH is kind of mid-size for me

Haaaa, come on Dave,,,, a KZII is "kind of mid-size" for your hands
