For me it would be prying a 1/4'' chain link apart. It broke (Really wore down) and we needed to get it opened even more to fix it. The only thing that happened to the knife was a little coating chipped off!! I have opened cans and once almost used it to chop through a rusted chain. I'm sure it would have. My friend insisted not to, so I didn't. I would have only had to sharpen out the dings. Busse knives instill confidence in the user like no other. Later, Jeff
 
Busse Abuse! I have a basics nine I have been trying to destroy. I have chopped thru 2*4's,branches,tree's etc but the most abusive thing was chopping thru an outside entrance door to make it fit in a dumpster. The layers of old paint and the hardwood weren't abusive, but the glass,hinge,and cutting into the steel dumpster was. The blade coating is visably worn at this point though not as badly as I would have thought. The edge was nicked by the steel dumpster but sharpened easily. Nuclear tuff - great for the buck!

The worst so far was using my Steel Heart to help, um, "dismantle" (yeah, that's it) my kitchen cabinets to install those cool sliding shelves that wifey wanted so badly.

I basically had to gut them, leaving only the shells. The trim saw could only cut in across the shelves so far, and my reciprocating saw wouldn't reach back in those confined spaces either. So I "notched" each shelf and used Herr Steel Heart to chop the rest of the way to the back of the cabinet. I had to also pry the shelves out, and in a couple places where I couldn't separte the shelves due to a few nails, I used a dead-blow mallet and the Busse to, in essence, cold chisel through the nails, 4 or 5 in all. The edge showed no signs of chipping, notching, curling, just some scraping of the coating. Awesome performance.

The funniest part was my wife came home, just as I was done with the gutting, to find a pile of debris in "her" kitchen. The look on her face was pretty priceless. All I could say was, "To make omelettes, you gotta break some eggs..."

The most abusive thing....
Well, I love my Battle Mistress. So I try not to abuse them (2). The Toughest thing I have done so far with them is to clear an archaeological site I discovered while surveying. Survey team travels light, only shovels screens and busse blades. We needed to clear the trees and ground cover in order to see what we had found. After 2 hours of intensive hacking and prying, cleared the site of all vegetation down to the ground surface. Made a great picture. No dings....no nothing on the blades. They are the ULTIMATE hacking tools!

so what is the most abusinv thing you've done to your busse??

Well mine is what you have already seen. Throwing a pair of SHBM's at a tree trunk, one of which has done well over 15,000 throws. That same one has chopped and battoned through about 8 cords of wood knots and all.

so tell these guys your story.
 
Busch Stadium - upper, outer parapet. Microwave link remote contral actuator had died. It had to be turned on manually within ten minutes or no game televised. Got to the top with the wrong key to the transmitter shack. The transmitter "shack" was a 5'x5'x5' metal building.

Out came the blade - chopped thru the wall, we did. My assistant just stood there, shaking his head. The game hit the air on time.


First Gen Howling Rat but I still enjoy telling the story! :p
 
I used my SHBM once to stir a margarita to keep the ingrediants from separating. I was scared to death it might rust! :p

Ok, seriously? I have beat the snot out of my SHBM batoning her through some extremely hard dead wood. Everyone was looking at me like, "Is that guy crazy or what--doing that to that knife?" My response: "No worries, it's a Busse!" ;) Heck, after I rinsed her off, you couldn't even tell what she had gone through.
 
I chopped solid granite rock, a mountain actually, with my Hell Razor (by accident :o ). Took a little piece out of the edge, and I still haven't sharpened it out.
 
Once I forgot to oil up a double cut blade before I put it back into the safe. :D :D

I heard Bravado once wiped a Busse with a cotton cloth instead of a satin one. :eek: :eek: :eek:




:D :p
 
This weekend, I'm demo-ing a kitchen. CG FBM and FFBM will be getting the nod. :thumbup:
 
"Extra" chunky peanut butter.


Or maybe it was the yard work I did with my HH, tree trimming, and weed pulling seemed to have left some marks on the coating.
 
The most abusive thing I have done with my knives is chopping wood and splitting wood. Nothing spectacular or abusive. However, I do whack those blades pretty hard and some knives have gotten dented or rolled edges. I really try to take care of my knives and avoid abusing them if other tools are around.
 
I've hammered my Steel Heart through a car hood, through the supports, and tried to force it through the attachment nut. I ruined my leather maul. :o :grumpy:
 
Pounded the tip of my BATAC through a cinder block. The BATAC was fine but the poor cinder block ... poor cinder block :D
