The BDLE is awesome - its another one that Horn Dog convinced me I had to own. His praise pretty much directly sold me on both the NMSFNO and the BDLE, and both of them have turned out to be really great purchases.

The BDLE is just a brilliant kitchen / small game / fish knife. I use it as a steak knife all the time, and for chopping up just about anything during food prep.


I'm tempted to try to get my hands on another, and grind it down to a crazy thin profile to make a truly mean slicer. The only thing stopping me is the fact that 154cm is crazy tough to grind, so it would take forever.
