Specs for the Busse Combat Active Duty (CG) are:
OAL: 7.88
Blade Length: 3.5
Blade Thickness: 0.15

Specs for the MPLE are:
OAL: 8 1/4"
Blade Length: 3 1/4" (3.25)
Blade Thickness: 3/16" (0.1875)

The CG AD doesn't have a full height grind, so even though the MPLE is thicker, the edge geometry should be close. The AD isn't as imposing as most Busse Combat knives, but it's perhaps their most practical overall -- the MPLE promises to match up quite well with it (except the Mudder handle should be more comfortable). I plan to buy several.
