talking about big blades.. I couldn't pass on a BM from the store. Turns out I'm loving this one... I didn't jusy connect with the DDF that I had but I'm really liking the BWM. liking the handle a little more than the M9LE even though they are close in size. The M9LE slip out my hand once and I had to go into some throned vines to get it. that sucked big time but the shape of the BWM would reduce chances of that.
