What's up Hogs?!! I just received my SAR4 yesterday......my first Busse, but definitely not my last!! I guess every piglet gets initiated at some point.....mine came about 24hrs after receiving her!!! I think she was cranky from the cross-country journey!! Thanks much Tim.

The initial bleed was profuse......think I nicked a small vein. These pics were taken about 90 minutes later, after some pressure and a cold pack. Who says Busse knives aren't sharp out of the box??!!!!

Ouch - nice slice! Hope there's no nerve damage.

Great first purchase!
 
Congrats on the SAR4! Ouch on the finger. Hope it heals soon. :thumbup:
 
hey man, you will have that with knives, might wanna run a little catgut through that thing to cench her down, nice knife, nice cut.

be mo careful and at least you know that it does what it is designed to do...

i am a alma mata of that same thing, jus not with a busse, mine was a spyderco, serrated
 
Super glue is king, bud!!!! I have little "blade love" marks all over my hands and a couple on my feet, like this recent one here:

And I can tell you this, nothing stops the bleeding like super glue ( Krazy glue gel is my preferred). Ive flipped balis since I was a kid, and have endured many a cut on my fingers ( quite a few have been stitch worthy) and have always just used super glue. I am no doctor, but have never had issue with gluing a wound until the bleeding stops, properly cleaning it, and keeping it bandaged ( I like using that new skin liquid bandage/antiseptic).

Of course use your best judgement, if its numb or one huge, gaping wound, seek some assistance!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I have one of my medicine cabinets filled with Bandaid Tough strips, gauze pads and medical tape. I just slap a little Neosporin on there, and a couple layers of the gauze pads then cover it with medical tape, works great.

I was getting a feel for the SAR4's balance, with a few James Keating dexterity exercises I learned a while back. Basically, I was using a twirl technique to present the point from the sabre grip. I misjudged the balance & weight, lost the knife mid-twirl and tried to correct my hand position. When I corrected my hand position.....I grabbed too soon, and the last quarter inch of the edge got me.

Lol!! Thanks for the advice. I have a Blk/Org High Street in the pipe, and I'm going to pre-order a Rodent Waki tomorrow. Then I'm going to save for my first "BIG" Busse........a Proto Bowie. I saw a couple on the exchange, and fell in love!! With any luck, one of them will be there when I have the funds.
 
:eek: You're Welcome! I'm just trying to help...

I think everyone get's an immediate lesson with their first. Mine was with a NMFBM, just HAAAD to run my finger along the edge to check it - Yep - human finger definitely is "the other other white meat".

PS. INFI wounds heal faster! :thumbup:

Thanks....I thought hard about what Busse to buy first!! There are so many I like!!

Everything seems fine....no numbness, and no loss of circulation as far as I can tell.

Damn!!! Looks very painful.

Luckily bro, I was wearing my Asolo 520's when I dropped the SAR4!!! I would have been in REAL trouble if she spiked me!!
