You mean you USE a $900 knife???

Any man who has ever bought an engagement ring or any woman who ever wears one should not question using a knife that cost less than that. Look at it this way...more than half of all marriages end in divorce, but the Busse warranty is a lifetime one [/QUOTE

He's mentioned the same to me before. He's not making that up. He said it consistently outperformed the KZ and 7 of 9 users preferred it to the KZ. I could have a small detail out of place but the meat of the information is there.

It's raining off and on today, but mine is a user too. Here's my proof!

Yes they are. :D :thumbup:

Goes to check the safe to make sure #888 still there. ;)

Yep, safe and sound and still pristine. :thumbup:
 
Man you could spend a quarter of that amount on a user knife. Then it breaks. You buy another. Then it breaks. You buy another. It keeps going on like this forever. You get what you pay for with these knives, so they actually work out pretty good value :)

I know no pics or it did'nt happen, but tell that to my BWMLE and my HHFSH-SE. The Bwmle is one awesome knife, one of my favorite mistress's that i have. :);)
 
Well being that we're talking about using my BM LE... Tell me how to fix this. Its not really rolled... sort of dinged I guess. Its right at the top curve of the belly. Very fine, you can hardly feel it, but I think you can see it.

Here is an undamaged edge lower down, for comparison

A high quality butchers steel will pull it back into place.
Use the steel lightly, the opposite direction you use it on kitchen knives.
After it's re-alighned I would strop with fine grit:thumbup:
remember it is a zero edge full convex grind:D

Opposite way? Normally you start from the base of the knife and steel and wave outward, right? Come on Scott... you know I'm slow. :D I've only been mouse pad sharpening and stropping it being that its convex. No diamond stones, right?
 
When you normally align an edge you cut towards the butchers steel,
to pull INFI back into place go the other direction.
Finish with a swipe or two the traditional direction:thumbup:

The physics of that makes sense. If you're chopping the same direction you normally use the butchers steel, then you're moving metal toward the tip of the blade. To push it back, work it the opposite direction. :thumbup:

Hell, that means I am due a Satin Moab, and a NMFBMLE, and a Ruck at least.


As to the edge damage. Spend a bit of time with a steel like others have said. I did some nice dings to my edge, and I really thought there was no way I was not going to have to spend hours and hours on it to reprofile the edge. After some light steeling, it really took about 3 passes per side on a medium diamond stone, then a quick strop and good as new. I was amazed at how much edge I was able to push back, and more so, that it never failed at that spot with more really hard use, with side pressure, and prying etc.

I used my $600 BWM LE to chop through sand and rocks that were imbedded into an old piece of Sitka Spruce driftwood:eek:

It chopped right through and cleaned up to NIB condition:)
