That Basic 11 looks to be a better "Bushwacker" than the Bushwacker. Of course, I'd have to use one to know for sure. I'll have to pass on buying one at this time. Besides, I have two BWMs already and a DFLE. They are fine bush blades. But if I did not already have such an arsenal of choppers, that Basic 11 looks like a good choice for an all-around camp machete/chopper.
