S.O.B with a Serious Mirror Polished Edge

Rob_Mob · May 1, 2016

Hey All,

I'm a big fan of the S.O.B ---- I love the ergos, the aesthetics, the knife specs, and how keen an edge it takes. I sharpened this at 19 degrees per side (38 degrees inclusive). It has an apex thickness of .5 microns and it shines. As great as this beautiful knife was when I got it --- she's a bit prettier and more serious now

So I'll post mine --- now show me your S.O.B's ---- lets spread the S.O.B love . . .

Looking good Rob! I need to send you my hognose war sword for a mirrored edge when it shows up! Love the SOB, Great blade!

Love the SOB. Usually when I get a new knife I play with it for a couple of days and them put in the box with the rest of them, but I just can't put this blade away. It's just an awesome knife. Great ergos. Stout yet nimble. Just a perfectly well rounded package.

This was my first Busse, and I really like it! Trying to get a sheath made for it so it can be my EDC, but for now it lives in the truck.

Tell ya what fellas, all these super nice super tough knives make me feel we may be in a "golden age - era" of blades.
What with Busse and their phenomenally tough steels, Sal @ Spyderco with about every alphabet super steel ya can imagine.....its a good time to be involved...imo that is..

You very well might be right --- for a knife enthusiast --- this is a fantastic era.

I can't WAIT for the Hognose War Sword --- I genuinely think it'll be the ultimate chopper and ultimate all around camp/survival tool. Of course a mirror polished edge on that baby would take FOREVER --- but the sharpness level on such a beast is too enticing

RobStanley · May 1, 2016

Sawb Elleee. Delicious convex edge. Stroppable shavey yumminess.

TommyGun56 · May 1, 2016

Cannot wait for you to test the Hognose, MOAB, MOABOLO, WTF, Huck or Huck Fin, ASHBM, Basic 13 (if released) and even the AK-47 (which is also a sword) and others to see what the Ultimate Chopper is. Anxiously awaiting your results

The handle looks particularly well-rounded. I never really cared for the brick pattern on mine. Did yours come that way, or did you reshape it yourself?

The original owner sanded off the brick pattern. I just did some final wet sanding and polishing to finish it up. I always looked past the sob because of the brick pattern. When I saw this one without the bricks for sale I fell in love with it.
