That is Rude:thumbdn:

$300 shipped is an excellent price for the knife in question either way:cool::cool:

I would pay $300 for it the way it is!

It reminds me of that awesome sword Conan the Barbarian found. I can see it now......I open the USPS box to reveal the rust covered NMSFNO, take it by the handle, bang it on the cement, the rust crumbles off and exposes a flawless Busse Custom Shop satin finish. Sweet!

(Apologies for the run on sentence and being a dork)

But seriously, I want that knife!

Interesting point here on stripping Busse's .... they seem to benefit from having a bit of a sanding/polish before doing a home made bead blast finish .... I have a number of Busse's which have repeated bead blast finishes because of use taking the dullness off ... my NMFBM must have had three bead blastings .... and no rust ... even here in the wet U.K. .... but before blasting the blade I removed all tooling marks on a sander and it had a ghetto satin finish before "blasting" ... I think this makes "all the difference" and as has been said .... the edge on that blade looks unaffected and perhaps if the sides had been polished the same way they would not have rusted ....

I think the key is....don't strip it if it's not a user, and if it's a user, there really isn't a problem.
 
Listen Liu kang I don't know what is your problem, if you mist the first part of my post I said I was not pointing fingers to anyone, I also said I love busse knives and is not the only one I own, you have no rigth to come and knock on me for being disappointed at the condition of this blade when it was purchase from some one no different than you purchase all of the blades you come across.
Second this blade has been stored the same way I store every other firearm and knife I own. the condition of the blade was exelent when I received this blade with no signs of use or rust what so ever, and I sure did not do anything to promote this in any way besides storing it.
I do not make a living of buying and selling blades the way you do either so my knowledge on busse is not as broad as yours.
what ever I paid for this blade should be irrelevant to you because I know you sure don't mind paying low and selling hi for your blades!
I'm glad you came across the original listing because now you can see what I purchase, because I was even starting to doubt on the coating on this blade as it was described to me.
Again all i I was trying to do was figure what happened, why, and what to do to restored it safely!
I do appreciate the busse team for helping me out on this matter and I would happily cover any fees required to restore the knife to normal if I did in deed do something wrong for it to turn that way stored in my safe.
I'm so glad I have never bought a knife from you Liu kang and now I'm damn sure I will never will, thanks to the way you can put in doubt the integrity of someone that you have never met or conduct any business with!

Thanks busse team can't wait for the ganza tonight!

Tao,

What has people riled is NOT the fact that you're disappointed with the corrosion on your knife, but rather the tactic you're using to get it fixed. The title of this thread is juvenile and makes people defensive, and rightly so.

For future complaints, please read the sticky's at the top of the page. One contains the procedure that you should have followed. The information is there in plain sight. Busse has excellent customer service, talk to THEM not us.
 
Tao,

I sent you a e-mail via bladeforums. I just want to make sure that you got it.:)

Thank you

****Let's stop with the name calling and the insults EVERYONE. I really do not want to lock a thread on a Ganza night:D but I will so remember the rules everyone.
 
The title of this thread is:
this is bull****! my NMSFNO rusted like cheap steel!!
and we can all see you edited your post...

Not pointing any fingers? You posted pictures and with a title like that you don't need to write any more.
In no way did you say that the blade was altered in any way making it seem like Busse makes rusted cheap steel knives. Thus discrediting Busse and I took a personal offense. So I found the information and posted it so everyone knows that this will not happen with a factory Busse knife. They put a coating on the knife for a reason and will not sell without a coating unless it is either satin, double-cut or a competition finish. You will notice that many people jumped in and posted in this thread because they took offense to the fact that you didn't read the sticky either.

 
Freakin hilarious steelnut!

I must now go pray to CROM to make my email fly swift, true, and 1st to Jerry and Amy's inboxes!
 
Don't worry, shop can fix that in a jiffy.

I could fix it for you in about 25 minutes without any power tools. But you would be ticked because it would get lost in the mail.


Some kind of freak occurrence there to get a hard rust like that.

Every once in a while, one has some undiagnosed condition that needs attention. I have put satin and stripped blades away wet, dirty, and sap covered with no issues. I have taken both a satin GW and a stripped SS swimming in both chlorine and fresh water and left them wet all day with no rust issues. Another time, I had the stripped SS in a leather sheath. Absolutely soaked from climbing a water fall, and left in the wet sheath till the end of the day. No rust.

But I have seen a couple coated knives get serious rust issues under the coating.

I would just fix it my self, but the shop will do it for you and it will still be factory.


NO reason to be ticked by any one.

As others have said, Infi is not a stainless steel. It is less prone to rust like that, but every once in a while, the perfect storm of conditions hits.

BTW, Steelnut, that was hilarious. Now that song will be stuck in my head all day. Crom, where is the wizard that killed my mother . . .
 
Oil it and pound it through some wood:thumbup:....the rust will fly off:cool:
After some hard use, send it back for a spa treatment:)
Nice outlaw by the way.
 
OMG,
I just ran to my safe after reading this, and my CG BATAC has indeed..........Disintegrated.:eek: There is nothing left but the cardboard it came with. Can I get a new shiney one? :D
 
core issue here:

Doing a rough beadblast exposes a HUGE amount of additional surface space as well as creates a broad area of microscopic pits for moisture to collect. If you do a rough beadblast and then leave your knife as is, it'll rust. Sometimes really really bad. As far as care needing to be taken to avoid horrible rust like this:

Worst
decarb-covered-competition-finish
Hand bead blasted w/no anything done afterwards
Busse dcbb
satin
polish
coated
Best

I'm not actually sure about the first two, they may be close to each other. Rough beadblasting creates a more consistent problem area, but decarb is rougher.
