I've been going back and for as to whether I should actually pick up a BWBM. It's the same size as both my Becker 9 and Spyderco/Hossom Forester, and there's not much I can think of that a Busse version would do better than either of those (except for just about everything, in small increments). At the same time, it's not out of the question that I might some day be going through the stash of fixed blades, and want a thinned out Battle Mistress. Ahh choices.
