Anyone help me find the directions for sending back a knife to have it sharpened?

Thanks Much!
 
Turn left at the big oak tree then go down the road for about 2 miles,turn right at the dead dog on the side of the road, then go 1 mile and make a left at the big Rock with a dead Hogs head on it, (darn hogs head) been there for years now, but anyhow go about 100 yard and there's the shop...:D :thumbup:
 
I just sent my ASH in for a sharpening, it might take a little long because of the upcoming blade. But here is the address, just email, someone at Busse, or even type a letter telling them your address, and that you sent it back to have them sharpen it.

Ship to:

Busse Combat
11651 Co Rd 12
Wauseon, OH 43567

mackied,
If you remember how much fun it was to dull up that INFI imagine how much fun it is to get it back to shaving sharp on your own bench stone! Saves a lot of postage and makes you feel great when it comes back to a great working edge. Just a thought but the Busse shop will get you a perfect edge too.
 
I would wait until after Blade personally. I am sure they are SWAMPED right now and probably wouldn't get to it until Summer anyway...

^^^^^^------- Same thinking here. With Blade coming up, they're probably in full production right now.

This would be a great oppurtunity to pick up some good sharpening gear and give it a go. Worst that happens, is that you send it in anyway after Blade. :thumbup:

To be honest, I'm waiting till after Blade to send my NICK XXXL in for a re-furb.

I'd wait, if I were this particular OP (as I am another).

Or ... with a little practice on a less important knife ... it really is quite possible to learn to put a good edge on yourself.
 
Nothing wrong with sending it back for sharpening. As others have mentioned, they are pretty swamped this time of the year.

I would recommend learning how to sharpen yourself and be done with it. No one knows better than yourself the type of edge your prefer. Sharpening your own knives just makes the hobby all the more fun and interesting. Sharpening skill is definitely a good one to have :thumbup:

I still remember the first time I was able to get a knife stupid sharp. That feeling and sense of accomplishment is priceless :D

I've really got to make the time for this. Of course, I well know how to sharpen steel ... and many other metals. But not to this level of mastery.

Once, I was a very good lab physicist. Once. :o

Now, I've got to find the time.

Many people understand sharpening as just a quick touch up for a usable edge. This is perfectly fine and will suffice for most people. From that point forward... all that is required is a little more time and attention to details.

Hey..... hair scraping sharp was nearly impossible for me at one point. Like anything else...sharpening is a skill that takes some practice to do well. A stupid sharp edge is not nearly as hard as most people think if they truly put in the time and effort to try and achieve it.

There are a bunch of humble sharpening experts on BF. Many of which can put my sharpening skill to shame. Every single one of them put in the time and dedication to find and perfect what works for them. The method used is irrelevant... the results are what counts.

And so ... I see, it seems, another humble sharpening expert on BF.

Many thanks for the encouragement.

If I learned to work electron surface spectroscopy, TIG welding of micro-scale parts, and force microscopy ... I can learn this. Eventually! :o

Now I am really lost and confused :confused::confused:

Are we still talking about sharpening here? I need to try and keep up and stay on topic :D ;)

Well ... maybe I wasn't entirely on topic.

But ... to get a force microscope to work best, you have to create a ridiculously sharp tip. The best tip would have just an atom or two! Now that's SHARP!! :eek:

Woah.... a atom or 2 at the edge is called the "Look at me funny and I will cut you silly" edge :D
