Thanks for the insight HD.....there are so many Busse kin knives it is hard to keep track of them. I will have to check out the two you mention. I don't think I have seen a Camp Tramp....I have come across Chopweiler but don't have a mental picture of it yet.
The weight of the FFBM should be just slightly less than the CS Kukri as far as I know from posts giving the weight of the FFBM....but agree I might find a lighter knife a benefit. I will check out the names you have given. The coffers are a bit low though having gone for a FFBM.
Shoalin, the black FS is said by the guy who gets them for me to be a 1950's knife commissioned for the Navy and made by Nowells of Sheffield. The tan version was commissioned by our SF for the first Gulf War and has a bespoke finish.....made by Nowells again but I am not knowledgeable on these. I am keen to know more if anyone on here is a bit of an expert.
