Sharpest 5-8 inch Busse?

[v3romel]

What are some of your guys sharpest 5-8 inch Busse blades? I've had a SARsquatch and a NMSFNO, and my SARsquatch was way sharper (convex.) I have a Basic 6 LE on the way. Think it will be as sharp as the Squatch??? Pictures welcome.

I can shave with all my Busse blades from the CABS to NMSFNO. Sharpness is up to the sharpener.

if sharpness is under the qualifier of thin overall geometry, that would fall to the 2 thin NICK variants (one fillet and one "fighter"), and the d2 fillet knives.

Cannot disagree with this.

Outside these, my Comp Grade SARSquatch is probably sharpest I received direct from the Shop.

Yeah no doubt. I would have made it a point to be at that table with a bunch of cash. Lol

Its strange people have the tendency to confuse slice cutting ability vs cut ability perse.
All my knife Busse or not, they have the same cut ability of my 1mm thickness kitchen knife..if not better...but I can't say the same for slice ability.
Some way how, all my Busse did need serious edge Mod.....

Sarsquatch by Ban

My NMSFNO tip, better to not say who modified this....before they start to cry!

 

[postban]

Hell Razor I got from Ban. Aptly named knife if there ever was one.

I think my sharpest busse was my old SarQ SE. sadly it was lost in the mail shipping it for a trade deal. It could realy do it all.

 

[silverdragon33]

banned Squatch. the SAR6 was probably the sharpest factory edge i've ever received.

scary how clean this cut was

 

[v3romel]

Nice pictures Silverdragon!

 

[CR33]

SAR 6 and CABS right from Busse.

 

[Bowman1911]

My SAR6 could whittle hair from the factory. My MUK, being anorexic & all, is even a better cutter.

I gotta say, the sharpest knife I've ever received from Busse is the MOAB. That thing is like a 14 inch surgical scalpel. It's a bit disconcerting to weild a knife of that size and weight that has an edge on it like it does.

BUT, sharpness is up to the one who sharpens! The sharpest 5-8 inch blade I have is without a doubt my CGASH1.

I know this is an old thread but does anyone know what the black handled knife is where the blade appears to be case hardened is? I think it's in the 2nd set of photos.

 

[Jaxx]

What black blade?
