Shark attack!!!

Thanks for the pics...!
I really am looking forward to the Battle Shark!
Even more so now...
I didn't realize the top of the blade, spine I guess, was swedged!
I figured it was just flat, I guess my old eyes didn't catch it.

So, thanks for the pics, I'm liking it even more!
I ordered black blade, black handle. I know, but it's what I like...
Tho the black or gre with blue handle is very "Shark" like!

The pair of Shark & Battle Mistress above are outstanding!

Alright, happy knifing, all y'all!

She is a beautiful knife Bacon. Love that extra weight that all infi blades have, the high relative density of INFI steel. Note the deep cutting edge that all fighters should have but don't. I don't believe that Busse made the edge deep on their Sharks by shear chance, and I didn't know it till I received the Shark and held it in hand.

Long before I received the Shark, I did my own calculations on the cutting edge bevels because I couldn't find anything on the net that specifically addressed what I needed. I've since started specifically quoting a minimum vertical height of 2mm on all custom knives I'm ordering being that they're fighters. For chopping and survival, like the Attack 14 and SAR6 and many others, it's better to go about 1mm vertical height to minimize possible roll of the edge, but in a fighter it's different, you're not chopping hardened wood etc endlessly and the main impact is taken by the tip of the knife when piercing. So long as you keep the tip strong and the have lots of meat behind the cutting edge, and a longer cutting edge before the edge finishes and meets up with the primary bevel for serious slicing then in my view you're on track with a true fighter blade.

The more I look at Busse knives the more I realize that they are made PROPERLY, and that's refreshing given what I've experienced from others in this industry. It's no wonder they're as hot a commodity as they are; they do things RIGHT. :thumbup:
