The dumbest thing that I have ever done with a Busse was bring my Basic#9 on a Camping and showed it to my extended family(22 people for this camping trip) which loved Cold Steel products till they saw what the Busse could do. 15 minutes after showing them what the Basic#9 could survive they all wanted to use it for their camp chores, i.e. chopping wood, splitting logs, preparing dinner, opening cans, chopping more wood, and learning how to throw a knife into a tree. After, three days of abusing the heck out of it, it was still shaving sharp. When I asked if I could have my knife back so I could do some of my chores, they wanted to do my chores so they could finally make that knife dull as a brick(didn't happen though they did make so it wouldn't shave).

Then one of my uncles came up with a GREAT plan.:rolleyes: Try to chop one of the chopping stumps into two. At this point I started getting afraid for the Busse(Please forgive this lack of FAITH Mr Busse). After, ten swings all but one of the ALPHA males in camp got a swing, no one could split the stump. Then my uncle Don took a swing and buried the Busse about 8inches into the stump. He didn't split the stump, but instead wedged the busse in the stump so bad no one could pull the knife from the stump.:eek:

So I had to bring the knife still in the stump home and spend 2hours with my uncle Don and some powertools to finally Free my Beloved Busse.

Odd and dumb :confused: maybe ?
But I learned a lesson, can anyone tell me what that lesson is?

Sell them:(



OK Jerry. I should have been a bit more specific.
I meant selling my Busse knives, not the Busse
family, but you knew that.:rolleyes:
 
I would have to agree with UffDa on this one. . . although I'm not sure how you're going to be able to sell 22 family members, but it's worth a try. ;)

Yours in NucleArthurian Excaliburated Basic #9s,

Darkjedi2,


There should be only one lesson that you should have learned.

NEVER feel scared for your Busse;)

Traded a Busse for some none-Busse I had the hots for.; only to buy a replacement for what I traded.:(
 
Yeah, I'll have to get in this line too. Dumbest thing I ever did was sell a 5/16" Police Recruit and one of my LMS's.

Excuse me while I go cry. Wait, I bought a straight handled BA and a 5/16 DWMS with the money. HEY life is good. (I still wish I hadn't sold them though...)
 
Right on!!!!

Also, I wonder if Mr. Busse ever made a Sword for some guy named MERLIN????

DARKJEDI2 "I hear it Mr. Busse, It It It sounds like the snap-hiss of a LIGHTSABER. Well we can always wish."
 
I will be getting married in approx. one month and will be, without a doubt, cutting my wedding cake with my Busse Steel Heart E varient (Bolo Heart)...
the future wife doesn't think i will...
we will see...
 
I'm new to Busse knives!
But IMHO the dumbest thing you can do with a Busse knife is put it in a drawer and not use it.

again just my thought

I almost cancelled my order (Badger Attack E) yesterday (I'm on a knife collection streamlining campaign), but Jerry talked to me as a high school or college guidance councellor would speak to a very confused student. I was squared away as we hung up. We also uncovered that I really don't drink enough so I'll begin working on that as well tomorrow night. I actually cancelled my late appointment to get started ASAP on Friday evening.
 
I used my BB7 to cut up a Coconut. I didn't know how to open a Coconut at the time:(. I also have a Mean Street that sits in a drawer and doesn't get used. Andre tells me to take it out and use it. I just cant bring my self to beat up on it. My BB7 has done every thing that I have asked of it and more.

I do so many stupid things, let me see if I can remember a knife related idiotic move.

O.K. At work one day I had the chance to open a box in the break room with my Assault Shaker... I'd had it only a day and was so excited to use it that I dropped the box on the floor. The box broke open on impact and I didn't get to use my Busse to open it.

Excuse me while I wipe away the tears.
:(
 
Jedi,
The lesson I think best learned here is that I bet a Battle Mistress woulda went through that stump. LOL. Glad to see a Busse showing up all those cold steels (though I own one tanto myself :rolleyes: )

Once we were just shoving off in my buddies bass boat. I'm not a real know it all when it comes to boats but it's pretty big and will haul a lot of a$$. Anywho we were just pulling away from the dock and I had brought my BM along (why? Cause a man needs a big knife on a big boat, that's way!). I was trying to get seated and I slipped and over the side went my BM. My eyes got big and my jaw dropped for about two seconds :eek: and then over I went after it. We never got to go out on the boat, we spent all day diving for that BM. Half a day and about 2,000 swear words later I found it under some mud. Those things are so heavy they will sink right through the first layer of crud on the lake bottom. Remember that if you ever drop yours.

Oh yeah Jerry, you need to start coating the blades in bright orange just incase of this. That bead blast, micarta that turns black when exposed to water, and black kydex make these things impossible to find in the dark.
