That looks great! I love how you just got this bad boy and are able to jump right in...use it, strip it, etc.....Even after owning a few Busse knives, I am still so hesitant to use anything for the first time. Giving me courage to just dive in and beat up something still unused. Well done all around.
Thanks man!
Yeah I figured I would have no way of knowing how great the knife is if I didn't test/use it.
NO OFFENCE (to anyone) regarding this next statement:
-when I called Busse to order the BM-LE (still waiting on it), I told the girl on the phone that it was probably going to be a safe queen, as I did buy another one (the knife above). She proceeded to tell me I should never buy a Busse and have it as a safe queen.
After thinking about it, I realized she was right. Why would I buy a combat knife that is the strongest in the world and not use it??
In respect to your knives, consider that for a very small fee (especially in respect to the initial cost of a Busse), you can send it back to Busse and have your knife sent back to you BRAND NEW.
You are paying the premium high cost for a world class knife, insured against breakage, and to have it refurbished if need be. I would never take advantage of a private company like Busse, but I have no problem sending my knife to them (at my expense), and I am sure they don't mind either. I would never try to put my knife through a brick wall and make a warranty claim if I broke it.
Like I said, no offence to anyone. Everyone is different and people have all kinds of things they want to do with their knives, from collecting to smashing a toaster into rubble
I think you should go have fun with one of the knives. If you regret it, spend a few bucks and send it to Busse. Trust me man, you will not regret it. I've never had so much fun with a knife and I didn't even roll an edge. They are amazing!!!
So no stripper at all? Just scrape with a razor, and clean up with Scotch Brite?
That's hard core. Outstanding work. :thumbup:
Mine don't look that good after paint stripper and power tools.

Here is the trick:
1.Use a sharp razor. I had to use 2.
2.Then use a tough scotch bright pad-- buy one with an attached handle so you can get a lot of leverage.
3. Use the softest scotch bright pad you can get and go over it A TONNE.
Took about 3-3.5 hours.
The blade was in mint condition with NO pitting----- hahaha just kidding no DIMPLES.

Oh and I guess I'll answer your question lol: it's holding up great! This knife is absolutely indestructible. I am way in the remote north (Moosonee), almond with the other things I smashed, I chiselled through about a foot of ice. The mistress was throwing ice around like a polar bear...

Little ol city of Thunder Bay, Ontario! ! Nothing but woods all around us. Very much looking forward to putting some of my busses to work this summer chopping!
Oh ok I'm familiar with your area. I have been through there a couple of times. It's beautiful.

Ahh....didn't mean to make it sound like I have NEVER used one of my Busse's. A few of mine have definitely seem some heavy use, although I do probably own more safe queens than users. But, I appreciate the encouragement....probably have at least one less safe queen by the end of the week

Oh BTW if you want me to Ghetto Satin (lol) one of yours I certainly can. That goes for anyone else as well. I won't charge anyone for it. I actually enjoyed doing it.
