The BWM is an interesting blade. The Le and CG are really two completely different designs. The CG is, relatively, thin, making it a better cutter, has a convexed grind, and is lighter. The Le has a saber grind, which is usually a compromise to increase the toughness of a blade, and a thinker overall profile. In my experience this combination is preferred only for splitting. It seems the Le is being for collectors to use very infrequently, if at all, and more so as another gem to add to their jewelry box. Ooooh, shiny!.

To me one of the biggest benefits of higher grade steel is the ability to make lighter and thinner stock knives for more efficiently tools without sacrificing toughness or edge retention. It seems that most Busse knives, and Scrap Yards for that matter, are designed in such a way as to not benefit from the high quality steel they are made of. Adding thickness to a blade stock used to be a way to get around the steel not being very good. But I guess if there customer base wants overly thick blades of these supper steels then I certainly cannot fault them for making what sells.

I would love to see a 3/16" convexed dogfather. SR77 should certainly be as tough as the, currently, thinner RTAK, Becker BK9, or Ranger 9. With the Res-C handles on this knife there would be no stopping it.
