Actually, the FFBM earned even higher marks than the S6 did, bodhi. That comes as no surprise to me. Regardless of anything you may have read or heard, INFI is simply a superior alloy to SR77 for manufacturing knives. Whether INFI is so far superior to SR77 that it justifies the price delta between them is for each individual to decide.

I'd suggest you pay particular attention to noss's Overall comments at the end of his review.
Hi Bruce,
just checked the review, great as usual by Noss. When comparing though both tests then the difference was edge holding. Yes it took him a lot of time to break the BM but the same happened to the S6. Both broke when batoned through metal pipes, both survived all other tests. I admit the BM looked a lot better performing the same tests but the differences were minor.
