Well, it's been over a year of searching for a companion to the one, 'The Precious', but I've found it. :D Thanks to Cobalt and 360Joules, I was able to work a deal for my ultimate Busse, a Straight Handled Steel Heart, aka, 'The Precious-Too'.

This fine thing has had a Siegle nose job and a 360Joules coating strip that makes it so ready for business...

So today, while grilling out in my backyard, I decided to use the Precious-TOO to split a chunk of hickory for the smoker...

I used a wood baton to set her up... then pounded her straight through...

Still Shaving Sharp after the hickory nibble...

No baton was injured in the splitting of this chunk...

I had to learn my limitations... This next chunk was a little too wide for me to get enough blade to baton on, eventhough it doesn't look like it from this angle - my baton was really too small to apply enough force... and, since I didn't really need the wood for my project, I decided to quit before I hurt myself, because the INFI is GOOD TO GO!!! :D :thumbup:

Thanks for looking! And thanks, Jerry, for making such an AWESOME FREAKIN' KNIFE!!!! :thumbup:

Bill put the edge on it, the prior owner had used it a bit.

I steeled the edge to remove a dimple near the tip as best I could. Next I used an Air Bleeder strop to get it back to shaving - then we ATTACKED the HICKORY!!!! :D
 
Cool SHSH, Hog-30! :thumbup:

It is only fitting that I watch The Lord of the Rings as I type this... :D

Thanks - that camera is much better outside than it usually is for me indoors... I'm suprised the photos came out so well, myself... :)

That's sweet Rat... Congrats! :thumbup:

Got any close up shots of the nose? :confused:

Thanks, and no real close ups of the nose job - kinda best described as an over-sized penetrator tip, about 1-1/4 long... can almost make it out in the red box of this photo... I can get a better photo soon...

Beautiful!!! I'm glad she's getting the abuse she deserves. ;)

Thanks for the pics, brother! :thumbup:
 
Thanks Rat... If you do get the chance, I'd love to see some close ups.

I have a couple that I've been thinking about giving a nose job... and trying to decide what I really want. Most are either the penetrator tip or full clip point... yours is the first I've seen like that.

360Joules commissioned this one, and I do like it - it seems functional and beautiful. Typical Siegle work - right?! :)

Rat, congrats she's a beauty. After seeing your pics I'm thinking to strip my SHSH too. It looks really nice:thumbup:
