That's actually a blade I could see using. I have a DF, 1311, and a 10" R9 from Justin made from a Busse blank and all get used. I love big choppers, and barring the rerelease of the BWM, this looks like a Busse Chopper I could 1) afford and 2) sink my teeth in. Good handle, lots of mass to let the blade do the work, and forward weight (I assume). Has me drooling.....
