I hope you end up getting one Ken .... I have often thought Vic would or should at some point try one as well .... they are a cracking knife for those who enjoy using a knife which can be both a great chopper and double as a machete for however long you need that function.
Only Dan really has the capacity in my opinion to make a better knife and that is because of his Res C handles .... if Dan can get his hands on some NMFBM blanks and re do the handle to take a Res C grip and thin the blade down a little to make up the balance changes from removing stock from the handle .... that knife would be a "Grail" knife for many Bussekin owners ....
One day maybe .... but until then good luck in your search <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
