Congratulations on getting your first Busse; that is a nice looking SFNO! :cool: The finish was an extra cost option, so you essentially got the sheath for free. When it arrives, let us know how you like it.

Don't Know. They all look alike to me.. Over sized entry level guardless drop point hunter. Don't mean to flame' Or be rude. But whats all the busse. Looks line a cheap hunting knife, not even remotley desighned correctly as a combat blade. Is adversing Hype really that effective?

DON'T FLAME YOU OR BE RUDE!!!!
You should take your own advise. :mad:
Please go bother other forums. This crap isn't wanted here.

Questions: 1) Does this mean that all of the guys in the military (and others) that use Busse knives don't know what a good knife is? 2) Have you ever used a Busse knife?

Comment: "They all look alike to me" - this shows how little you know about Busse knives; go here to learn more. There have been many different styles, which you will see if you follow the link.

I would think that one who comes into anothers house and insults their products would definitely be considered "rude".

If you have nothing constructive to add to the thread, don't post.

As has been said, there are plenty of folks who are in combat daily who find that our blades are indeed far beyond a "cheap hunting knife", both in design, and performance.

What exactly are your qualifications to speak as you have to knife design? Are you a knife designer? Have you designed combat blades? Have you used combat blades? If people don't know, how can they give credence to your utterances....

I doubt you will have the moxey to post here again and qualify your statement. Should you not show back up, no loss here. It is easy to hit and run, esp at 3 am.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Actually you do mean to FLAME, because you are a fellow KNIFE MAKER. It is bad enough when another makers roadie goes on the attack, but that happens as they do not usually have any class.

Fellow knifemakers are expected to have more class than that. It would be akin to Jerry Busse, going into the custom forum and flaming your knives in one of your threads. Saying something like, "I don't mean to flame you, but, what is all the hype about your fighting blades, are you expecting to get into a fight everyday, instead of utilitarian use for which they are not designed? if you tried to hack something hard or pry with that thing you'd end up with a folding knife "

These are knives for survivalists not fighters. Busse has made fighters though and you'd be hard pressed to beat those. But ask any survivalist what he'd rather take in the field a fighter knife or a strong heavy working blade that can serve multiple uses and you will see the answer. Look at the Hoods Woods knife interest, look at the Fehrmans, Ranger knives, Rats, etc. They are tough knives meant for tough work. They are heavy as fighters and not balanced for that, but they can far outdistance a fighter for building shelters chopping, etc.

If Jerry did what you did here, on the custom forum, what would the result be. Attacks left and right. Luckily, Jerry has much more class than that and more class than you apparently.

You as a custom maker should hold yourself at a higher standard in the forums as does jerry and all the other moderators and makers.

I am dissapointed, because I like your knife designs and have had an interest in them for sometime.
 
mike,
that lovett is more than qualified. he is a custom knife maker of fighting style and loveless design knives, which makes his post that much worse. A true lack of tact and taste and class.

Do you not know how to spell, or were you drunk when you posted this?

Considering how rude, classless and uninformed it is, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you were wasted.

I hope you feel like a jerk.

Wow. The mind boggles at the level of inappropriateness displayed.

A quick trip to Google provided these (and, I might add, only these) links:

Pretty enough, but they look like the only purpose they serve is to be used as a weapon. As I have commented before, there are Busse models (e.g., the PT5, PBFs, Force 1) that hold no appeal for me because I can't see the utility they offer. To me, that is the great thing about something like the SH (in any of its variations). As someone noted above, it is designed for heavy use first and foremost. See the article about choosing the right survival blade (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=263461) to see what I am talking about.

Rick - unimpressed
 
The HOG posse has landed. SOOOOOIIIIIIIII.................
Mr. Lovett, I think you owe Mr. Busse an apololgy.

I know who he is, but some may not have. That is why I posted as I did.

I don't think any further commenting towards his post are necessary on our part. If Jerry wants to comment, so be it.

I think we have all seen the post for what it is, both in content and extreme absence of good taste. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
I had a whole long post typed out and then looked down and saw thatMguy's most recent post.

so instead I will just say this: :( :mad: :barf:

Agreed :cool:

Hey Rick, everytime you mention the survival article, you must pay homage to my wife for typing it in the forum and onto the internet for the very first time ever. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=263461

I still owe her a knife for that article. But I have a hard time giving mine up. :barf:

I genuflect in her general direction! We are not worthy....

Rick - whose wife tolerates his knife and gun fetishes but doesn't understand them at all
 
There is no other knife I would trust to tearing apart pitch laden stumps up here in the Pacific Northwest (apart from my Ratweiler), so there is no other knife for me. Seeing a picture is a far cry from holding one as well. No other knife has the excalibur like hum of power in the hand... Ok, MAYBE I exagerate a little bit. But the heft and ergonomics of these knives are impressive. :cool:
 
guy's I do formaly give my depest apology..I was very sleepy at the time. I'm trying to express my ignorance of the Busse knives. I am being completly honest when I say that iI am trying to under stand the penonoma Of the busse. I guess that I'm asking in the wrong way.. Not to mention that my deslexia gives me fits. As to my qualifications, my shop is located at Ft. Hood Tx. the worlds largest military base. I've been making combat related knives for a ver, very long time. I've had dealers and users say that I should advertize, as I have not, only depending on word of mouth, a lot of users, collectors, and you guys, don't know my work. I think that No less than bob Loveless him self, has turned ovet over 30 patterns and permission to use modifications of his logos, both Foot Ball and well as the famous Nude. Should give you an Idea of my quality. I did't mean my question as a falme. Its just that many of his blades look very much like what we build as camp knives. Much like a large drop point hunter. With Hiltless construction to be able to have a low cost model. this is not to say that the Bussie is not a fine blade, I'm confident that it is. In the not so distant past, Combat blade had a very definate set of criteria. Ie, A keen point, with a thick spine for penetration. A Half or Saber grind for strength, Sharpened false edge, or clip for back cuts, as well as aiding penetration. A Double Hilt for protecting the hand from both an opponents blade, as well as from keeping the user's hand off the blade when piercing, or stabbing. Hands in combat may be sweaty, bloody, any number of things, and a cut hand is a really bad idea in a combat setting, or anyother for that matter, this is why I ask the question, The bussie looks like an exelent chopper. But this is only one aspect of a combat blade. Every one talkes about chopping wood. Seen many tree's in our current, theater of opperation. that's a joke for the stuffier of you. So as a newbie, I really do want to know. I was talking to a very well known, and famous combat, and fighting knife desighner tonight on the phone, and he is also curious. The Bussie thing is very resent, Maby not in terms here on BF, but in the greater scheam of things, they are very recent. With out an intence Advertizing campain, most of you would never heard of them. So tell the truth. Other than camp type chores, like chopping, what do they excell at. No falmes please. I would like real opinions.. thanks. http://home.earthlink.net/~michaellovett/ Also photo.epson.com type in michaellovett@earthlink.net for entry to more photos.
 
Sleepy, and rambeling again. Hope you guy's will help me out, rather than flame. Thank's Mike
