After a while I found time to review this fat, little knife. Well made piece, nothing to say, Busse nuclear tough, very good build quality and feels real comfy in had. Except it is fat :) Which might be what you are looking for, since a lot of Busse fans love fat versions of all sorts of Busse knives. Details in the review.

Nenox group buy moving forward
I'm glad to report it is going ahead as planned, so far. If all goes well, in 2-3 weeks or so I should have one in my possession, and then I can see and feel for myself, what is all the fuss about.

Well, there is a group by on KF. I will most likely get one 270mm honyaki gyuto. TO be honest, I never really liked them that much, over-hyped stuff, IMHO not worth the price, but group buy gives 20% discount, that makes it more realistic. I'll see how it works. After all Morimoto's knives of choice for Iron Chef battles. Interesting to evaluate.

One of the biggest and heaviest blade in my entire collection. Almost 1kg(2lbs). That thing sure packs good punch and then some more. Haven't used it much, due to its build specifics, but for heavy duty cutting and chopping that's one of the best. Well, read the details in the review, more photos in the same review and gallery pages.

One more review that existed in the form of disconnected records made at various time. So, I just sit down today, put it all together and the review is up in Busse knives reviews section. In short a very good knife from a very good maker.

Bladeforums is down 2nd day?
Weird. Bladeforums.com is down second day. In its entire history, or at least as long as I have been there, over a dozen years, never happened. Few old timer mods posted that they have no idea what's going on. Sucks. I hope it'll be up soon.

One of the forgotten knives. Found it :) Well, mini review is up. Considering that it's not a user knife, that's a pretty long review for it. Interesting knife though. Because of its distinct shape it is popular with all sorts of occult and religious ceremonies. Considered as a sign of good luck in some cultures. Sadly, that is something I can's test or evaluate...

For some reason decided to run inventory check on my knives. And what do yo know. Found 5 knives that were not in the review database, and consequently never reviewed either. Obviously those are no users, I'd remember them otherwise :) Added review placeholders, well files containing photos and specs. What's concerning is my growing review backlog... Can't keep up with both, reviews and development.
