Hey Y'all,
So maybe this has been covered before if so please excuse my redundancy
I just got my first Busse a couple days before, thanks to Vox. A Satin Game Warden.
It's a nice little knife I really like the design of the handle, wide so you can cut with it and it won't dig into your palm.
Anyway of course I'm thinking sheath. I see the Busse store sells sort of a simple pouch sheath for a reasonable price and some other various custom options as well.
So I was kinda thinking sheath with a loop for a firesteel. But when I tried it out with a firesteel it seemed REALLY hard to get to spark.
When I used the spine it seemed to just skate off. When I used the edge which I don't really like to do it sparked slightly better but still not like most of my other carbon or my stainless VG10 blade
So I was wondering I know they use a special steel for these knives does it have some special makeup that makes it not as firesteel friendly? Or is there a slight bevel on the edge of the spine that is making it skate off?
It's no biggie if it won't work well with a firesteel, but if there's some mod that can be done like squaring off the spine a bit or something I might go for it so I thought I'd ask.
