GATOR vs. Benchmade!!!

[Carney]

Took this 8 1/2' joker with my Benchmade Offsider, but lost my knife in the river getting him out! Couldn't even enjoy what I had done. I guess it was a draw!
Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, my son took it from the boat cause I wouldn't let him get off!

[Madnumforce]

GOOD HELL! You're Crocodile Dundee man! How did you do that? So baaad you lost the knife, though. Get a Busse in replacement ;).

[Carney]

Thanks Brother, I would love one. They are just so hard to grab, kinda like a gator!

[Carney]

Bet that Natural Outlaw would pass the gator test. But I am really looking at a Horton!

[Noss]

Damn that's awesome man. :eek::rockon: A Busse would sure work well for what you do.

[Carney]

Thanks Noss. I might have to get you to help me locate one. Everytime I find one for sale it's solf!

[Carney]

Have a 13 footer I want to film taking it, or the other way around!

[Noss]

I'll look around and see if I can find one for you. I would love to see a video. Hell you may get your own show !! :D:thumb:

[wildjim]

Awesome. . .

I'll look for the new pair of gator boots in the next video ; )

[Carney]

And a gator skin sheath!

[Carney]

I will not try this again till I get the right knife. Still looking at Busse, but I believe I am going to go with a Horton CAMP BLOOD. As soon as I get some bills caught up, I am going to order one.

[Noss]

Busse has the new tank buster up on the website now. http://www.bussecombat.com/home/index.shtml I don't know much about Horton knives. Do you have a link to the knife ?

[Carney]

Hey Noss that tank buster looks awesome! Check out Horton knives on Blade Forums, go to makers, and you will see Horton. He has several variations on th Camp Blood, so check them out. I know you haven't tested one but I would like your opinion. You see a lot of Busse in his work, and he has the blade length I am looking for, 8". (.320" thick).

Sweet, awesome work :thumb:

IMO I think you should go straight to the top & replace that lost knife with a Busse. It's some crazy/incredible supersteel!

My last hunt. I took out 3 other(Not Bussekin) knives. All 3 went blunt pretty fast :eek: . If it wasn't for my Busse NMFBM(hip knife on that hunt) I would not of been able to cape the rest of the stag out, plus take some meat. Long live Busse & INFI goodness :rockon:

From my tests, & I've done a few now. I will now only buy Strider S30V, Swamp Rat SR101, Scrap Yard SR-77 & Busse's INFI for my hunting/camping duties! But that's me :D

[kurodrago]

Sorry for you lost:( nice pic:rockon:

[Carney]

Thanks for the sorrow "kuro". thanks for the advice "338"!

[Carney]

Got to get the right knife so i can take another one. My Spec plus Survival or KaBar Next Gen are the two I would choose between. Which one would ya'll like to see?

[Carney]

I hope to have the next one on U Tube this spring! He is 14 foot and me or him one has to go! Be praying for for me & that SOG Super Bowie. It feels like a gator killer! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

[kurodrago]

Ka-bar Next Generation Plain Edge Knife Leather Sheath or Kydex
12" overall.
7" high carbon, high chromium stainless steel blade with powder coated finish and blood groove.
Black Kraton G thermoplastic elastomer handle.
