Corrugated Bevel Technology...

I've been trying to do some research, but what the heck is it?



I've seen it, but what's the purpose?

Know the answer but can´t get it right in english, sorry bro!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

For me it was a choppingbrake so I grinded them off, or how you say it.

Good question dude! I'd like to know also.

That's a good point.

I dig the design, but if it's less effective then I don't know if that's the direction I want to go.

So it made it harder to chop with?

Amen! To me (theoretically speaking) the peaks just seem to be there to snag what you are chopping, impeding the effectiveness of your cuts. (But then I cancelled my FBM order so I haven't used one.)

Thank you for answering the CBT question. I knew nothing on the subject. With all the knowledgeable folks on this great forum, I learn something every day.

Life is a learning experience! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I honestly felt the same way at first, but I'm digging it now.

Can't decide.

Other than I know I want to get a FBM sometime, just have to decide which one of the many!

I prefer it without it, but it doesn't bother me either.

I had them taken off my AK where they were hardly noticeable anyways. I love them on my JackHammer and HellRazor though. The FBM I had also had them and I actually like the look now.

I like it. If it doesn't take away from the awesomeness that is the Fusion Battle Mistress, then I'm game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have to say, most of the time I don't like them. But the Jackhammer looks awesome!

i think it looks good. anyone who senses it snagging in what they're chopping is imagining it. total bologna. it may possibly have some effect in slicing, but no one's pulling out a giant heavy bowie to slice tomatoes. the only legitimate claim anyone can make on it is that they don't like how it looks.

Thanks Mag, I knew you had my best interest at heart!

You big sweetie! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

and aerodynamics... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

say what? I use my Becker BK9 for food prep man! and my SOD for butchering! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

A friend has a Hell Razor and I did not care for them at first. However, that changed after I used it to do some chopping. I really like them now. I guess it is up to the end user as to yea or nay.

neither of those are a giant heavy bowie.

i'll admit i once used the FBM to slice a roast and it did very well. in the kitchen i usually use the long hunter.

I asked Noss which he preferred, the corrugated or non, and he said they're basically the same.

He did say he preferred the NMFBM over both!

I'm still digging the CBT CGFBM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

One day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the ridges going perpendicular to the cutting edge, if your aim was to reduce binding friction on whatever you're cutting?

Thought about that to but the blade would be less stiff for bendning...

Hm... Maybe your right.

Or it was just put there on the HG55 to look cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I doubt you could figure out a good practical reason why the "inactive duty" that was offered at BLADE had a blade that was like a foot thick, but it sure looked cool, and the hogs were eating it up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think it looks cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> A HG55LE would be sweet but no way I can afford it right now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

i think the CBT on my CGFBM looks cool...gives it some sort of high-tech look!

then again i dont think any BM looks uncool!

Matt! I gotta get one of those! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

The CGFBM is way high up on the list of wants for me. Unfortunately the prices are crazy high too. Just as I thought I was getting close to being able to afford one, the Waki comes out(and you know I need two of those <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />). I had a NMFBM but it was just a bit too bulky and hard to swing for longer periods of time for my liking, and I was a little short on cash so I sold it. Now I really really want a CG. Hopefully sometime soon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Do you think the FBM will be easier to swing for long periods of time? It's a pretty hefty knife, about as heavy as I would want a user. Mine weighs 25 oz.The 17 oz DFLE is a lot easier to swing all day.

I would think the CG would be a good deal easier then the NM. That extra 1 1/2"of blade length on the NM must add a good amount of heft. I really want a Dogfather LE badly (as if you couldn't tell by my recent posts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />)I just can't find one for a reasonable price on the secondary market. Hopefully I'll get a shot and Dan will throw some into the yard (if not an LE at least a version with a full flat grind).

BTW: I got my SOD boxed up and ready to ship tomorrow. Looking forward to the bad [censored] edge you're gonna put on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I so wish they had made a thin version of that NMFBM to keep the weight down. That's the only thing that kept me from buying one. The FFBM is a heavy beast of a knife at 30 oz or so, and I feared that the NMFBM would be as heavy. If Dan offers some more flat ground DFs, I'm getting another for backup. The DFLE is just about as perfect as a chopper can get. The M9LE is nice, too. I just think that about 22 oz is as heavy as I want a chopper for all-around use.

Yeah a NMFBM at .20 or so would have been sweet. The M9 doesn't feel as heavy as it is. It is remarkably light in hand for it's size/thickness. Really nice blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I would definitely like something dogfather sized, in a full flat grind and not too heavy....

I guess the Dog Father is our FBM, but a Scrap Yard "War Bit<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" />h" would be awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Mixed feelings.

On my Hell Razor I think they look the bomb!

On the FBM, less sure.
Some times I like them on the FBM, some times not.

I suspect I'd err on the side of not if I had to make a choice, but since it wasn't a choice I'm happy enough with them on the FBM.

Bevels or no, big INFI looks good. Bevels are just a matter of minro degree!
