First try...Go easy

Very symmetrical, I like it!:thumbup:

Anyone have any pics, possibly macros, that show the penetrator tips on their busse knives?

Comments on them?

Thanks.

Norcalblacktail's picture... I think.:thumbup:

Thanks for the pix, GS.
To me, why not do a polished point? It'll penetrate.

Polished point sounds good, I'm not going to argue penetration with you.

Horndogg ^^^

Lycosa - What do you mean about a polished point?

 

[Lycosa]

I mean the same finish that's on the knife.

 

[richstag]

Polished. What knife are we talking about?

 

[Lycosa]

Ummm... Sodbuster??
:yawn:

 

[richstag]

Yeah, I don't think I am going to be doing this to my Busse knives.

If it is just for show then I am not interested.

Didn't Noss indicate in one of his tests that the penetrator gave his knives a deeper penetration when stabbing through metal?

I don't know. Did he?

Inspired by Joshua J. I decided to try my luck at a sharpened swedge on my practice blade. It is harder than it looks! Here are my raw results without going back to clean everything up. I found the hardest part was keeping it even where the swedge begins. I can see that this is something that will take a lot of practice to perfect! I will post more pics when I get around to finishing it up.

Help is welcome

Kev--- you got the stuff! :thumbup:

 

[Joshua J.]

That's impressive, very clean.
