I'm diggin" on the B-8...did some trimming of branches in prep for Pecan Harvest need to make a sheath to attach to the tractor.
 
Just received one. Seems very light, and the edge on mine is dull. Not sure how well this will chop.

Beautiful writing like that kinda brings a tear to your eye.;)

Blain, I sold mine to one of my best friends before I could do a chop off, but if the HOGB8 becomes a reality, you can bet there will be an INFI and Res-C Chopping Festival here in N. Commiefornistan.:thumbup:

That's cute.

If you buy a car that ended up having a defective tire, and you complained about it, does that mean you don't know how to change a tire?

So either send it back to be sharpened --- or just sharpen it yourself to your level of refinement and personal preference.
 
What Tom Said^^^^they can put the sharp back on that edge!!
 
If they want to send me a shipping label to send it out to them, that's fine. I won't spend more of my money to ship something back that should have been sharp to begin with. I'll just sharpen it myself. It's a knife and shouldn't come dull from the factory, though. If you bought a car that ended up having a leak in the tire when you bought it, would you just replace or patch the tire and think it was fine?

While I personally would prefer to receive sharper knives from the factory --- sharpness is subjective. To me sharp is a tool that can cut, chop, baton, etc. ---- I'm confident all Busse knives sent from the factory meet those criteria. If you feel that your knife does not do those things -- you can call and speak to someone about it. They list the names of the people that sharpened the knife -- to try to ensure some accountability. However, if you prefer to just vent on the forums --- I don't see much coming out of it. To each their own though.

Sharpness can be measured by all different sorts of standards --- ranging from: final grit, degree of polish, degree of edge angle, apex thickness, bevel height, etc. ----- therefore --- as long as it can cut, chop, baton, etc. -- it meets the basic needs. If people want it sharper -- they are welcome to sharpen to their hearts content -- which is what I do:
