...the "choil" of the BM is more likely to get hung up on a hide ...
Although it certainly doesn't feel this way, the BM puts my fingers much closer to the cutting edge...
...now to figure out what I need to sell to be able to keep it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Not sure how to take those first two statements <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
As for the last on, clearly you need to sell me your Swamp Muk to keep the busse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
S1: The thing that I LOVE about the ScrapMuk is the very gradual unsharpened area between the handle and the edge. When I first processed an animal w/ my GenII Howling Rat, I kept getting the choil hung up on the animal's hide. Given the more distinct transition from edge to "choil" of the BM I can see such happening with this blade much easier than w/ the yard's offering. But again, this is speculation as I have yet to actually use it...I hope I am wrong <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
S2: When I grab the two knifes naturally (where the handle "puts" my hand), I am much farther back on the SM than the BM. However, and I don't yet know why this is, I feel much more control over the edge w/ the Scrap Muk even though my hand is farther away from it (this is counter-intuitive to me...all I can think of at this point is maybe just he design of the ScrapMuk feel like a custom-to-my-hands blade and the BM just feels like a nice knife). However, the "lines" of the BM are the hands-down winner in the looks department to me...go figure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
also, the BM's point is, well, pointier...which I like.
