It seems a bit gimmicky to me, but I'm sure some didn't like the fullers on the FBM either. Busses are known for ground breaking style as much as the performance of the steel. I'll reserve judgement for now. I love the Busses I have now, 2 Squatches, 2 steel hearts, and 2 mistresses. Their smaller knives just don't do it for me as much. Sold a BATAC and traded off a Meaner. I didn't like the Sus Scrofa much either. But the NMFBM and the new NMSFNO.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
