If you are on the fence with the NMSFNO you should buy one at factory pricing if you can afford it. I have a feeling that the NMSFNO is going to be one of those knives that climbs in value like the original SFNO. YMMV but I really like the NMSFNO and it is my go-to blade in that size category.

The expect the M9 to be a winner but I know that the NMSFNO already is.
