I really like the Tan, I usually just get Black on Black, but I decided to do something different this time, I'm glad I did. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It can be tough at first, but here is a cheat sheat for the Busse acronyms:

Unfortunately, there are TONS more acronyms for Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Good luck. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

why'd they make the new fbm so small?

looks good, jeff.

Brad,

The acronym page is behind on updating the constantly new additions.

NMFBM stands for Nuclear Meltdown Fusion Battle Mistress - Basically a super-sized FBM with rounded corners (meltdown treatment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> )

NMFBMLE just has "LE" added to the end for satin and a number etched on the blade for an extra $330 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />


LE's from Dan here at Scrap Yard are MUCH more reasonably priced with typically about $20 - $40 more for satin..... (I won't mention the DMLE... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />)


.

So Jeff, I realize I might be putting you on the spot a little. But, I think you should be able to tell us about your favorites.

Price aside, I think they are an AWESOME group you have there. (I know you have many others. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

How do you rank the following knives:




Please include your views as why you like which ones, what you consider their strengths. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> And weaknesses if you feel so inclined. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


Hmmmm feel free to add the Hell Razor, SJTAC, ASH1 varients, Camp Tramp and some others into the mix. I assume you have those. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

.

Being new to Bussekin knives, I too would like to hear Jeff's feedback.

I have three of the knives in Jeff's pic, a SarsQ, DFLE and the NMFBM just arrived today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I can't give a comparison on usage or cutting / chopping ability but I can say the DFLE and SarsQ feel soooo light and down right agile in the hand after holding the NMFBM beast. The NMFBM is one big knife.

Looks great Jeff - now I'm even more anxious to get mine!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

DANG Neal... That is one HECK of a start for being "NEW".

I couldn't personally justify the NMFBM's price. Although, I wish I could. It looks awesome. But, I do have the other two. Both Very Awesome! And I agree they are both very agile and well balanced for their respective sizes and potential uses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

One HECK of a start. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


I also have the Swamp Rat Chopweiler and I can attest it is an outstanding chopper for it's size. But, weighs almost as much as the DFLE and the DFLE is a better chopper. I suppose the Chopweiler is a little more versatile (????). The Chopweiler is thicker, a tad longer and heavier than the almost otherwise comparably sized SarSquatch. The SarSquatch is as you say reasonably light and nimble. Considering it is plenty tough, I like the SarSquatch a lot because it is agile and nimble.
I have always loved the Chopweiler. But, I honestly feel the DFLE and Battle Rat are better choppers at similar weight. So, if going shorter, I want more versatility. I feel the Camp Tramp and the SarSquatch have some slight advantages for my style of use over the stouter heavier Chopweiler. But, all good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The FSH is also heavier and larger.

I believe that is a FFBM (fat and heavy Battle Mistress) that apparently almost weighs as much as the longer NMFBM. So, many reports discuss how massive and heavy the FFBM is.

Hopefully Jeff will add more.


How about a chop off comparison Jeff????

I am just ready for my money to get here.... SO i can get the DFCG that I have been losing sleep over for over 2 weeks now!!! Ed Financial is screwing all students over at ETSU... its taking a month for these lazy state paid employees to build my [censored] loan! They dont understand, I gotta DFCG and a Scrapper 6 waiting to come home to my place!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Your knife seems to be clean. Let us all look aside and hope that it becomes appropriately dirty in the near future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


(translation: action pics needed!)

Sweet looking knife, it sure does look big compared to the other knifes in your pic.

Very nice, congrat's. It's a big one.
