[tomthebaker]

And here are some pics from the recent AG Russel show in AR to whet your appetite. Please stop by the booth and give them a good ole Oklahoma welcome. I would sure like to see them here regularly!

Wow....

 

[KillShot]

Nice selection of shanks!

What kind of steel does Busse use?

 

[HMFIC]

wow... nice lookin' blades!

 

[tomthebaker]

They use their own super-tough steel called INFI. Their heat-treat is second-to-none. Easy to sharpen and really holds an edge. Not stainless, but pretty stain-resistant. Blade forums has a ton of info.

They make "Swamp Rat Knives" with modified 01 steel, and Scrapyard Knives with modified S7, too.

I'm no knife expert, but I have studied metallurgy some, and this is an oxymoron if there ever was one.

If that was the case, they could be rich "selling" their formula for an easy tooling but very hard steel to every company in the world that machines steel.

Those are nice lookin shanks but why in the world would anything spend that much money on a knife? I got a 10 dollar folder in my pocket that does everything I need it to.

Well, it's easy for ME to sharpen, but I use a belt sander. I admit it is a bitch by hand!

(ok, you got me there!)

I should have said: "takes a fine edge."
