Frasier? Frasier Crane? Is that you?

Since we're on the topic of punctuation, let's break down your post a little bit:

youve made should be you've made
you're posts should be your posts
over-use should be overused or overly used
ellipses should be ellipsis (you got it right once but screwed the pooch on the other one. I never would have picked it up had you been consistently wrong):D
its should be it's or it is
Then there are the missed capitalizations at the beginning of sentences, but no reason to go on.

Have a great day!

I presume you can still look at your posts if you were smart enough to click on your own tag :rolleyes: only the search function is disabled for non-contributing members.

This is really not a good way to start your time here by the way. :thumbdn:

Thank you ...
To those have been helpful.
I got a voice mail today from Mindy at CRK. She said my knife has been repaired and will be shipped out first thing Friday. She did not specify what they did to fix it. I am happy that it was fixed so fast... So far they are living up to their reputation..... Customer Service and warranty is 50% of the reason why I purchased the knife. It only took them 3 days to repair it!! :eek::thumbup:
Hopefully i will get it by Monday...
Im guessing there would be a note inside the box explaining what they did... Even if not.. I will be able to tell... For those who are interested in the "chipping blade" situation... I will be reporting back with the details along with whatever else they might have done. This is the fastest I ever had a knife repaired by any company... They also covered the return shipping via U.S. Mail...
+1 for CRK :D

Yes, yes very interested in the chipping blade problems. Report back with what they did and how the changes are.
 
Hi All. Re: Sharpening> I know many can not or will not do this but I only sharpen my knives like the maker's do or the Manufacturer's do; belt grinder and buffer. Once this technique is learned, you'll never go back to the way you are sharpening now. Thanks!
 
Well...
I just got my knife back this morning. They sharpened it back to factory edge. I can tell its the same blade. They may have tweaked the lock-up as it is better than before.. And did whatever cleaning they do. Looks like new again.
I also did some cutting today to test the edge. And used it on wood, plastic ties and cardboard... It is still razor sharp and no hints of chipping.. Maybe a good sharpening is all it needed.. But I am happy... I also picked up a leather today... Might try that after i sharpen... from now on...

Matt--- Good on ya!! I'd look into proper sharpening technique, though. Glad you're happy. :)

A leather Sebbie? :D

I'm a friend of trimcut123's, so I don't mean this in a bad way, but his "writing as he thinks" is sometimes hard to follow...;)

I hope he meant leather, for stroping, or maybe he meant lathe, but I'm thinking it's the 1st one. I'm sure he'll clarify it for the rest of us.
 
Haha...
Yeah.
I meant a leather strop....
If i were a cowboy, i might purchase a leather sebbie....
Rob.. You were right on..;)
Solo..PM sent.... If you wish.. I will allow you to purchase me a leather seb....:D:thumbup:

Yeah, and that is a very interesting issue to me. That's been my beef with Busse for the past ten years. You have the closest thing we've seen to the 'uber steel'. It balances impact/wear/stain/maintenance/sharpness better than anything else. It would seem that would allow a guy to actually design a thinner blade. A blade with superior cutting geometry *and* superior impact resistance. And yet there's this proliferation of 4,5,6" sharpened railroad spikes.

I'm not saying they should get out of the big, fat knife business. I love those knives. It does seem like a big chunk of INFI's potential was left on the table, as it were, though. Not to go O/T here... just that I think the INFI thing is a great example. Now we have the BAD, so great. Enough said. :-)

This is a very dated outlook on what Busse produces. They have been making a wide array of knives of much thinner stock with thin convex edges and all sorts of nice stuff that isn't pry bar thick fro years now. Take another look.

Nothing dated about it at all. The thinnest production utility knives Busse has ever made are the .14 GW's and the BAD. I'm taking about basic utility knives, not knives that have been thickened to resist additional lateral and impact forces.

The .14 GW is still a pretty stout little knife. Compare it to a utility knife in that size from say, Dozier. The BAD has what I consider to be good, basic, effective cutting geometry. Jerry sees them as "super thin". 'Nuff said.

My general point was simply that metallurgy needs to be considered in conjunction with blade geometry, and that superior structural strength in the former can be used to allow for reduced mass in the latter.

This all reminds me a little of the folks who buy pickup trucks as commuter cars, 'cause hey, once a year they need to snag a couple sheets of plywood from Home Depot. Okay, but for the other 364 days, you're dragging around a big metal carcass behind your 2-seater.

Elegance of design tends to suggest that things be built right up to the point of need - perhaps even slightly below it. Basic intelligence suggests selection of the proper tool for a given task. Of course there are going to be emergency situations where a tool of abnormally great structural integrity may be desired... even required.

In the end, I guess it's down to personal choice. :-)
