will HUCK dethrone WTF as king of Op 2 weeks??

NOT EVEN!!! .....very much...im pretty much totally not...ok..maybe a little.. But I'm far from having any regrets..I've never been so excited..
 
The WTF and the HUCK Fin both had an element of ridiculousness for me. The HUCK, on the other hand, did not, and I ordered one of those on the first day. But there's something glorious about the ridiculousness of the HUCK Fin, and I just had to add one to my order before they go away. I think it's destined to be either one of the most laughed about or sought after Busses ever. I still don't know which, but I'm in for one. Can't say the same about the WTF.

My opinion is quite the opposite.. there are lots of Kukari
Blades that are the same size an much bigger. The WTF is everything that is Busse.. Classic American Bowie style but, Big, Thick, an with that Busse fusion handle... I think this goes down as one of the most remembered and desired Busse blades ever..Much like the MOAB... in my opinion that is..

Well said. I agree 100%.
 
You are probably right-Crocodile Dundee was a little guy! By the way I think the Over the Top satin WTF was probably already sold out by now-Most Busse's are Over the Top, that is why they are unique and desireable-AS Clint Eastwood would say "A man's got to his limitations-Cheers!!

Even Crocodile Dundee will think the WTF is impractical and ridiculous.

I find it pretty amusing that this thread is already 6 pages long, and it will probably be 6 months until any direct in-hand performance comparisons can be made between the two. People seem pretty strongly on one side or the other, even though nobody has actually paid for either yet. They are both impressive blades. They will likely both perform very well out of the box, and I'm sure that with some edge modifications they could be made to perform fantastically for a specific task. I like both a lot, and I'll own both, but to me the it is the uniqueness of the WTF that makes it a true standout in a sea of excellent blades.
 
And the worst part is that the 2 knives which will out cut both of them are not even mentioned-the Moabolo and Moab

True. I already have a MOAB though, and it's fantastic!
 
When it hits home the WTF and Moabolo chop off video is already being planned.

The precious HUCK will still be months out, coated and those coated cbt will be teaming with friction, while the more expense SATIN WTF slides right in with less effort and more weight, if that's not a better chopping formula, then my science minor was wasted.

I have always been impressed with how well a fat Ash1 cuts with its full flat grind with such a wide blade that by the time the angle gets to the edge its suited for some fine slicing and chops deep.
the WTF is thicker by a very small margin but if you see the width of its primary bevel its wider than the whole blade of the Ash! .... so it will have the same effect as an Fat ash but with much more weight behind it. couple that with slippery satin finish an shes a chopping monster...

Agreed, what you have left is a knife that is two colors

Then you spend all of an hour stripping the rest of it off. Look, I get it from a collector's point of view. The WTF is one helluva impressive hunk of metal. I think that's what is going to hold it back as a user though. Again, all conjecture until people get one in hand.
 
If you were lucky enough to get in on the WTF, then count yourself as blessed. It will be the hallmark, the discussion piece, the rendering that properly sums up what Busse is as a company. Never mind getting the screen door fixed or the beefsteak pounded, the WTF is the new, undisputed flagship.
 
Im thinking someone is going to amputate a limb with that thing! Get some momentum on that big ass piece of razor sharp infi...
 
Your probably right it seems to have really held back the MOAB and MOABOLO

Chopping a 2x4 sitting on a work bench, the WTF might win.......might. Any other use, I see the Huck pulling ahead.
