Passaround

I was able to play with this bad boy today a little. Review will have to wait until tonight but here are a few pics.

First off this knife is build like a friggin' tank. It is extremely solid. I love the grip and especially how secure my hands feel gripping it. No slipping on this baby eh. Easy to conceal and feels awesome in all the various grips I use. Choke back on the handle and it does a great job on light chopping and preparing fuzz sticks and kinlin for a fire.It battoned easily into my test mediums and pried with ease. (I swear i hear it laugh at me and my BATAC). I did some test thrusts into some woode and the penetration was excellent. The handle really sucks your hand in so I do not fear my hand slipping doing thrusts.

Now it's time to throw this baby... And where did I but that cinder block? :p Just foolin' Mulder. Put the .45 down man. I'd have to say though that this baby is handle heavy and would need to be thrown to adjust for that. And if you ever did have to throw it it would totally destroy anything it hit regardless of what part hit due to its heft.

I really like how the tip on this knife is much more acute than my BATAC but due to its thickness it maitains an extremely tough tip.

Then, at the end of my play day with it, I used it in the kitichen. I was throughly surprised at how well it performed. For such a thick blade it sliced veggies and such super, super thin with ease.

This is just an awesome all around knife. Definitely the kind I would like to have if I could only have one. Now I need one. Good luck huh.

I'm just going to admire it a little more then its off to the next Hog. Sorry for my quick review delay. Anyway, thanks again Mulder for letting me try out this baby.

I love the handles! There's a lot of depth to them and you can really make out the fibers! However, the photo just doesn't do them justice.

It REALLY fits in your hand! Thanks again Mulder!

Hopefully I'll get to go play with it more tomorrow!!!
 
Good to see it arrived safely. I was beginning to sweat a bit and have nightmares of Mulder chasing me with an AK. :eek: Great comparison pics. :thumbup:
 
Nice pics, Mike! You'll like it - it works as good as it looks. :thumbup:

For a second there I thought you had a really messed up BATAC spine, then I noticed the knife was leaning to the side... :D

Not to worry Tyrkon I don't own an AK. :o
Besides, I'm a fat bastid and too lazy to run so let my .30 cal 190 grain Berger Bullets do the chasing for me. :D

Just kidding as I would never want to harm one of my INFI brothers.
 
Got a little time to wander around and play with the SHBA... Oh BABY!!

I didn't think it would chop well, however it TORE this stump up! Most of the area was pitchwood, so it's HARD stuff!

Got the blade good and buried, gave a twist, and broke off a nice chunk..

Fight it man. Be strong. I can't get over how solid that thing is. And that handle really sucks your hand in. No slipping there. :thumbup:
 
Rescue Mike, my friend and neighbor, was kind enough to let me see this knife and hold it in my hand. I have to agree with Tyrkon Lawson about how good it feels in the hand. I just got my first Busse, a BATAC, recently and now have caught the Busse disease. I was not really keen on the straight handle Busses but after seeing this knife in person I have changed my mind. This knife is going on the must have list. Thanks to Mulder for sharing this great knife. :D

James,

Thanks for sharing your views on the SHBA.
Forget about trying to find one of these things though.
Some piglet seems to have the market cornered. :foot:

Well I can always hope that one will come my way someday. I've got quite a wish list of Busses I want to get first. I've got lots of time before I'm ready for a SHBA.

I must build a Badger Sanctuary. If I build it, they will come. :D Right? :confused:
 
Thanks for the pics, Mike - Glad you got to have some fun with it. :thumbup:

Welcome to BF, James! It'll seem tough when you start out wanting to buy a SHBA, but it can be done (I think). :D
