I am just now to the point (well for a few years, although I still like me some big blades) where I am appreciating the smaller blade. For MOST of us a smaller blade is just the better option for every day lifestyle and use. I mean really,(me included) how many of us REALLY need to carry a 7 plus inch blade "Out there" during normal activities. I mean just hiking in familiar areas/known dangers and good weather. ..... yep, I like little blades.... my FFBM is my latest smaller blade, I keep the NMFBM handy for getting the crud out from under my nails after working in the yard…. I should probably get something middle sized …like a MOAB for heavier work…

Thanks for the Pics Gary!
Boy oh boy oh boy. Decisions decisions decisions.
I KNOW what I want, but Do I spend the bucks? I gotta stop looking at these pictures. Man, it's worse than Porn! (so I've heard).

Hmmmmm If I had that LM and just took a file to it removing the Talon hole and blending it in with the pixy choil, then I'd have a choil you could actually use.......
