What's the attraction of Fatty or extra thick Busse's?

[Blade Runner 7]

I had a NMFFSH. Didn't like it. I got into Busse because they have some nice fat blades but the more I use them, the more I learn how much better thin is. At least for most cases.

Run them through a band saw and you get two knives for the price of one.

I like both. This. For slicing sizes fat for choppers.

 

[Turbo Tension]

Cuz everybody knows big girls are beautiful!

I like them thin or fat. They all have a special place in my heart.

Love fat blades..and fat infi are the best kinda fat in my book.

 

[tuica]

Oh, that's perfect!

Still waiting for the Fatmandu!

I'm lovin' the Th-INFI for a knife that is for cutting & slicing. Fat only interests me for dedicated choppers and then the extra mass is appreciated. Even then, fat usually means it is a "camp" knife and not for the hip or pack.

I always carry a large chopper..either my fehrman extreme or ashbm..my gso 5...and my leatherman charge.with my swiss mini champ piggybacking in the side pocket. . And as always my tatang as my main edc.and that always suits any cutting chopping and slicing..and as I only just got thw ashbm on oct 23rd it has been the fehrman 99 percent of the time.but if I have some serious wood work to do I would take the ashbm now that I have it . That's why I asked if busse has ever made a barong inspired knife cuz I just absolutely love the design..the steel is 1085 which has been decent so far. But man if it was infi I would love it even more.

:thumbup:A Fatty sure feels good in the hand! I probably wouldn't take it on a long hike, but they're great around the camp or in the backyard Just picked up this Fat ASH on the exchange, and I'm lovin it

...... and you were VERY lucky to get that one... I believe there was an "ASH Shark" circling it that just didn't bite quick enough....

Is the MOAB fattest of all?

 

[nerv102]

Moab is definitely the fattest I've ever seen.

Chuckette?

 

[Yabba]

Chuckette scares me just looking at it..

 

[Skrapmetal]

Fat has a cool factor, but for most knives it isn't very useful for me. Hinders cutting and carrying too much.

Yeah i think so, here is the ASHBMLE between two Moabs.

I'm nearly speechless. It's not like I haven't handled MOABs, but the comparison pic really speaks volumes!

 

[zakjak221]

I agree with skrap,
Thick = very cool, but to carry on a 5 mile hike, not so much!
IMO the ASHBM is right on the money, enough weight, handles great Chops like a banshee!!
