From what you fellas can tell from the blade design of the m9, how will it compare to a DogFather when it comes to chopping and other tasks? I am not familiar with the 0 blade grind or whatever it is, or how the shape the blades in general. I know it has been discussed before, but can anyone tell me the relative strengths and weakness of sr101 compared to sr77?
Thanks men!
The Busse NMFBM LE has the zero edge but it is INFI and with an almost 11" blade it is going to out perform a smaller blade. The zero grind bite green wood like a chainsaw! It's easy to maintain on a strop or the mousepad and sandpaper. I don't see where the steels will make any difference except the SR101 possibly being easier to sharpen than S77. The long clipped point may lighten it up a bit and move the sweet spot back toward the handle a bit but it will not suffer a loss in chopping ability. The DFCG is heavier than the BR and I imagine the M9LE so for some chopping chores it might excel if the edge is ground properly. I still love the RespireneC handle though.
