The CGFBM is way high up on the list of wants for me. Unfortunately the prices are crazy high too. Just as I thought I was getting close to being able to afford one, the Waki comes out(and you know I need two of those <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />). I had a NMFBM but it was just a bit too bulky and hard to swing for longer periods of time for my liking, and I was a little short on cash so I sold it. Now I really really want a CG. Hopefully sometime soon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Do you think the FBM will be easier to swing for long periods of time? It's a pretty hefty knife, about as heavy as I would want a user. Mine weighs 25 oz.The 17 oz DFLE is a lot easier to swing all day.
I would think the CG would be a good deal easier then the NM. That extra 1 1/2"of blade length on the NM must add a good amount of heft. I really want a Dogfather LE badly (as if you couldn't tell by my recent posts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />)I just can't find one for a reasonable price on the secondary market. Hopefully I'll get a shot and Dan will throw some into the yard (if not an LE at least a version with a full flat grind).
BTW: I got my SOD boxed up and ready to ship tomorrow. Looking forward to the bad [censored] edge you're gonna put on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
