THE BUSSE CHAT THREAD!

What do you guys think about the DB-322 that was just announced? Pretty sure there was a proto or two in recent grab bags. The 322 makes me think of Skull and Bones.

This Sunday the DB-322

The Scrap Yard DB-322 sports an 8 blade and backs its strength with a .210 thick piece of SR-101. The flat saber grind begs to cut and the Resiprene C handle brings comfort with every swing. Its looks call out the need to subdue objects in its way. This knife will find its home in the w...

My first thought was, "Meh. I'm not that impressed." But then.... I had to look again. Now I'm more impressed. And it DOES seem to me to be a reasonable cost for that size blade in that steel. I'm going to have to rest on it. If I could get a good line on a DS-8, I'd probably pass on the DB-322. Or not.

Geez, I am SO CONFLICTED on this one!

Never got one, but I like the looks of the DS-8. Like a Scrap Yard TGLB
 
I just wish they’d make a choilless 311 in 1/8” thickness. That would be the perfect edc. Poke it in stuff as deep as you want and not have to worry about that goofy elf choil getting hung up - sign me up.

You know it is a simple matter to relieve those choils so they don't hang up, don't you?
I have a couple of Fallkniven blades that I used to use when I was hunting (I haven't hunted since I started buying Bussekin, even though I keep saying I want to start again, if only to try out all my new Bussekin). Those Fallkniven blades had pronounced sharpening choils that initially were a pain getting hung up in the skin of the deer when I was field dressing. Took a few minutes with a dremel and a file, and no more hang-ups in the skin.

I appreciate having a choil at the base of a blade. Not necessarily a finger choil (although I'm fine WITH them). But a sharpening choil (or lack thereof) has always been a non-starter for me. YMMV, and to each his own. Just throwing that out there.

Large choils are useful IMO in that they serve a purpose. You can put your finger in there and choke up. Elf choils and sharpening choils are useless.

We “recently” had a run of MEGA blades from the Swamp. Maybe we’ll see a line of Anorexic blades in the future.

Well, I suppose "large child" works, but is a little out of context for the discussion. But yeah... I did a double-take on that reply, too. :oops:

Actually, I went back and read it again. Um... no... doesn't work. Nope!

Large children do serve a purpose, I guess. Hauling logs, hanging up the wash and whatnot.🤣
 
I was finishing up a late shower this evening when the lady suddenly interrupted me. She was cooking for a baby shower tomorrow, and she thought she heard someone knocking on the kitchen window (backyard). I grabbed a piece, and with both in tow, I headed to the back porch. Fortunately, there was nothing there. Or they already ran away. Either way, the lady was kind of spooked. I went back inside, told her everything was okay, then got dressed. Came back to the kitchen to check on her, and this is what I saw…
