Being new to Bussekin knives, ........ I have three of the knives in Jeff's pic, a SarsQ, DFLE and the NMFBM just arrived today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I can't give a comparison on usage or cutting / chopping ability but I can say the DFLE and SarsQ feel soooo light and down right agile in the hand after holding the NMFBM beast. The NMFBM is one big knife.

DANG Neal... That is one HECK of a start for being "NEW".

I couldn't personally justify the NMFBM's price. Although, I wish I could. It looks awesome. But, I do have the other two. Both Very Awesome! And I agree they are both very agile and well balanced for their respective sizes and potential uses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I also have the Swamp Rat Chopweiler and I can attest it is an outstanding chopper for it's size. But, weighs almost as much as the DFLE and the DFLE is a better chopper. I suppose the Chopweiler is a little more versatile (????). The Chopweiler is thicker, a tad longer and heavier than the almost otherwise comparably sized SarSquatch. The SarSquatch is as you say reasonably light and nimble. Considering it is plenty tough, I like the SarSquatch a lot because it is agile and nimble.
I have always loved the Chopweiler. But, I honestly feel the DFLE and Battle Rat are better choppers at similar weight. So, if going shorter, I want more versatility. I feel the Camp Tramp and the SarSquatch have some slight advantages for my style of use over the stouter heavier Chopweiler. But, all good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The FSH is also heavier and larger.

I believe that is a FFBM (fat and heavy Battle Mistress) that apparently almost weighs as much as the longer NMFBM. So, many reports discuss how massive and heavy the FFBM is.

Hopefully Jeff will add more.


How about a chop off comparison Jeff????
