We often use this rough finish INFI for our satin finished blades where we surface grind the steel in the process.:thumbup:

This time we used it for a combat grade blade. :thumbup:

No big conspiracy. . . No big deal.

Think of it as a pork chop without the extra fat trimmed off! :D :thumbup:

It seems logical to use "rough finish INFI" for a coated blade for the added adhesion achieved over smooth satin INFI.
After all....you ordered a Combat Grade Busse Knife. You should want that coating to hug every dimple, pit, tool mark it can find and hang on for dear life as of result of the beating it expects to receive.

Oh yeah, not the first time a Busse was heavily dimpled...
These Ganza Razor variants were loaded with dimples. I kinda dig the look...a lot. :D

DCBB pre-Comp Finish "rough". :thumbup:
Old PB pic, it has been compressed on upload which has softened the image a bit, but those who have 'em can tell you. :)

When were these...2008?[/QUOTE]
 
Ok, fair enough, my question is this, what causes the Pits? Is it just the Heat Process? Second question would be or any of the CG Models smoothed before the actual coating is applied? Thanks and Cheers!!!

I have always heard it was the heat treat that caused the dimples. Guessing a combination of the Infi steel and whatever Busse Combats heat treat process is. BTW I would love to see how infi is heat treated but that is one of those "If I tell you I would have to kill you" type things.

As for why there is anything from satin to really rough under the coating. I have a theory on why that is in my head that would make perfect sense from a production view point. That would be pure speculation on my part so I will not offer it up as someone may remember reading it in the future and somehow think it may have been fact.
 
I would imagine that the surface texture is there straight from the steel mill, and surface grinding is required to get down past it for cosmetic reasons.

My father is a machinist. I have never seen steel stock of any kind that looked like that from the steel mill. It has to be from the heat treat.
 
Very well could be. The dimples do look a little like small explosions from within the steel.
 
I've heard that the heat treat is what causes dimples but I don't think that can be true. Neither of my TGLB's had had any INFI dimples. Every surface was clearly machined but there was decarb covering all surfaces of the steel. That says to me that the entire blade was milled prior to the heat treat and that the heat treat did not cause any dimples.
 
I'd always heard the dimples are where the Chuck Norris tears landed during the infi manufacturing process.

That is a very vommon misconception. First off, Chuck Norris doesn't cry or even have tears. His eyes sweat. Second, INFI is even impervious to Chuck Norris eye sweat. Amazing, I know.

Unmovable object unstoppable force....no one knows what would happen. Not a good idea to put it to the test,could rip apart the universe.
 
I am glad that Jerry came back with a more substantive answer. That is probably all that we are going to get on this, so I'm going to stop asking. YMMV.
 
I seek knowledge!!! I love Busse knives just want to know how the process works as far as the Dimples and Pitts are formed etc-I like to learn-enlighten me Jerry-Cheers!!!

So then the coating is only going to last an appreciable amount of time where these "dimples" are and were left there intentionally to increase the life of the coating?

Ok.
 
My (uninformed) guess is that maybe INFI is sand cast or something in order to take advantage of the isotropic properties vs. other fabrication methods.
