The new Busse blades seem to be getting wider but I have a question about a couple of narrower blades with size similarities--the 3.5" Elmax Steak Knife and the Cultellus. Could someone who has both please post some side-by-side photos of these two models, along with a blade thickness comparison photo? I have a Cultie, which I like a lot, but recently have found myself eyeing the Steak Knife...

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick pic and reply! Is there a difference in hand? Do you have a preference?
 
We need a return of the Cultie... in different handle color options... please.
 
The culti is a fantastic knife.

Field dressed a whitetail a few years back with one.... no sweat.

I've always liked the culti. That being said, the handle on the steak knife is really pretty comfy in hand. But from all reports, you're sacrificing a bit of toughness. So I havn't used the steak knife for any woods bumming type stuff, which was mainly why I bought it. Of course culti handles do vary a bit, I prefer the thicker tigerhide handles,,,

For game dressing, they are both great knives. If only the culti had the steak knife handle, hmmmm,,, :D
 
Thanks for the clarification. The culti looks like it would make a fine bushcrafter.
 
Good thread! The Cultie has been my EDC for a few months now and I cant be happier with its performance.

Dang, thought I had a pic of it, my photo host is giving me grief tonight, I blame the storms. I'll post up a pic as soon as I get access to it again! :D

Maybe i can help you out- thick and thin handle Cultie and a Leatherman sheath, of course..:thumbup::D

Yes! We need a Culti II variation added to the operation 2 weeks. I would need more than one. And give us Infi and Elmax choices. I see another chant beginning! Right after the B308 and B13......
 
The Culti is probably the Busse I regret selling the most. I would have to get an Operation 2 weeks version.
 
My three favorite smaller Busses in your third photo, Resinguy: CABS, AD, and Culti. Followed closely on my list by the Game Warden. Beautiful comparison shot. Thank you!
