No problem. I'll tell a little story about how ridiculously tough Busse's are.
I met Jerry Busse a very long time ago. At one of the Blade shows late evening after the show we are all sitting in front of the Hotel near the Fountain drinking scotch and smoking cigars and Jerry tells the story of the day he received a broken knife for warranty replacement. He opens the box and he can hardly recognize what it is because it is all smashed up like someone hit it for 30 minutes with a jackhammer. Well he did recognize it as an original production Straight Handle Battle Mistress. So he calls the owner of the knife and talks to him and says that he will replace the knife, however, he wishes to know what exactly the guy did to the knife to leave it looking so horrible but still in one piece. The guys says that he was having a party at his house(you can see where this is going) and he was telling his friends how the battlemistress is the toughest knife on the planet. His friends don't believe him so after some drinking he tells them that he is going to replace his concrete driveway since it is very old. So he tells his friends, "lets go outside and break up the concrete with the knife and a sledge hammer." So they go outside and the proceed to break the entire concrete driveway with the sledge hammer hammering the knife into the concrete. They were successful. At the cost of one battlemistress that was covered by the warranty. I told Jerry I would not have covered that kind of stupidity, but he said the warranty was unconditional.
Then there is the guy that threw his straight handle battlemistress into a wood chipper and stopped it. No damage to the knife. After watching that video above, these stories are believable.
