What's so special about the Busses?

Busses don't use the best steel going.I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a non stainless blade.Super gold 2 and cowry x and zdp-189 are all better then a2 IMOO.

There is sooo much more to knives than steel grasshopper. No such thing as stainless steel.

Let me introduce you to NOSS4 on this forum.

There are plenty of other companies that are way more aggressive in their tough guy special ops marketing than Busse's military overruns. I'll quote you any way I please :jerkit:.

Is "Cobalt" a Busse Employee? That would explain a lot but I was unaware that he was a Busse Employee. I was speaking of his comments vis a vis "leopard" and not speaking about Jerry Busse or his Company.

And, yes you can misquote me all you want! It's fairly obvious you are doing so and you fool no one.
 
I don't own any Busse knives, right now i am neither a fanboy nor a hater.
From a wilderness and survival skills perspective there is one Busse i was really interested in, the proposed Busse "Woodcraft knife"
see thread- "Wanna Help Design The Busse "Woodcraft" Knife????" http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=493984

Anybody here know the status of the project? The thread seems kinda inactive.

There are certainly a lot of opinions in this thread regarding the "perceived" good and bad traits of Busse knives. Perhaps some of these opinions would be useful and helpful in the above mentioned thread as well.

i have alot of busse blades, and i think they are jack of all trades knives, and in most task they are masters...... i have a hard time believing that you have found any cold steel knife to be superior to any busse..... that makes me think you have lost some brain matter in your super secret dark ops life.

and by the way the ryan wilson knives are great i own a few of them.

This is the kind of garbage that makes me disgusted. The man has found out through trial and error that he doesn't care for Busse knives for the tasks he performs and you guys call him brain damaged. First you impune his credentials then you tell him in essence that he has no skills with a knife. I wish this thread was brought up in the Busse forum and not polluted W&SS as it has. It is NOT true that if someone, anyone, likes another brand of knife better then they are fools with no knife skills. Your intollerance of any other view point is shameful.
 
Busse knives in a nutshell:

-superb marketing

-excellent steel

-great warrantee

-good to mediocre designs

-high to inflated prices

-off-putting cult-like fan base

Well put. My gripe isn't with the piece of metal at all. added: The price isn't high if it is what you really want. I'm in the market for a new chainsaw and its price may shock some people, like my wife, but I am willing to pay to play.

There are a lot better knives out there to get the Job done than Busse. If you want a crow bar buy a crow bar, or get a good axe, or Khuk if you want something to chop with. Busses are great for collecting, but IMHO not the best for actual field operations.

What a load of horse dung from someone who obviously knows very little about the Busse line. More of the "crow bar" stereotypical nonsense...

Thing is, Busse makes knives from small .14" (that's just over 1/8") slicers to extremely thick .32" knives (that's about 5/16", though a few of the Busse knives are even thicker) and everything in between. I actually like the thinner blades and have been able to find plenty of them. They perform admirably in all cutting chores I've put them up against.

If you're going to spout such nonsense, you'd be better off posting in a Cold Steel forum somewhere.

I believe it will take some time ... but that we will see that bushcraft knife. Wish I could give you a definite date, but I can't. Jerry Busse is pretty fanatical about his knife designs -- he makes absolutely certain of their performance before he sells one.

I'll do my best to remember your interest. As soon as I 'smell' the knife on the horizon, I'll give you a holler.

Lots of us would like to see that bushcraft knife. :D I intend to add it to my 'thin' Busses (0.17", 0.15" is all I have -- some of the older collectors know more and have more). My thin Busses are absolutely not safe queens -- I use 'em hard.
 
I am also waiting on the Busse woodcraft knife, but I just bought a new F1 to hold me off until one comes out.

Ya know? I think Ron M said it pretty well five years ago... the situation is a little different this time.

This thread has become like a cancer.

If someone has a legitimate question specific to a Busse, wander on over and ask. Someone will always helpfully answer.

I wish all of this name calling and thread bashing would just go away. We all are here for our love of knives and the wilderness. We all have different opinions and views, but I know we have alot more in common. Latly it is Jerry Busse and Jeff Randall bashing, and now Ron Wood. I have learned a lot on Blade Forum, and lot of the information was from the people I just mentioned. I own several Busse knives and love them, but I also own other makes and love them to. I have been on Greg Davenports Simpley Survival training course and learned alot, but I'm saving my dollars so I can go on Jeff Randall's adventure. I have heard there is alot of good infomation on Ron Hood's videos, and I will pick a couple up for sure. It's all no big deal, If you just hate someone here, or hate there products, dont buy them or post in the thead about them.

Like my mother always said, " If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything."

I just had to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening

Cobalt does not work for Busse. As far as I know, he works for the Post Office. ;)

Don, I don't think I misquoted you any here. :D

Excellent advice. Unfortunately, people choose to bash, and those who know better feel obligated to show how it's different.

I know, I know. :o It just doesn't seem to be sinking in though and this thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere good. That said, I'll bow out now.

(Mr. Rearic: An observation - from reading the last several pages of vitriolic slating, it seems that you want it to go to 30 pages.)

I just find it more than a little disingenuous when people court Special Forces/Special Operations Community contact until it doesn't go their way and then they shoot down the very same people they would otherwise prop up as "real users."

I think that's plain to see...and I think it is B.S.

If you think you are winning whatever "debate" might be going on with that line of thought, you're sadly mistaken. Sure, among the Denny Crane - Allan Shore - Scotch & Cigar Circus Feel you have going, you're winning. Everyone else just thinks you're full of crap at this point. :D

I think someone else has already quoted your moronic postings so there is nothing further that need be said to you. Your assenine comments and lack of common sense speak for themselves. Bye, bye:thumbup: :D

Yes, I know Cobalt. After all, what (or who) could be more asinine than someone who cannot spell asinine referring to someone else as "asinine?" Cute avatar, you're not too quick though. :D

Having an identity as 'Busse knife owners': Just trust me on this, you've got it. Most of you guys are as invested in the Busse name as Jerry is. Note the bruised feelings that result from someone suggesting that they've found other knives that work better for them.
Click to expand...

excellent post and well put.

i will only disagree with the highlighted portion. no one cares if someone finds a knife that better suits their needs.

what is offensive is the stance of attack and insults that accompany "why does someone like..." type threads.

attack jerry, the company, any of us, and we will get defensive.
