I was hoping for a longer Bushwacker. I have plenty of 9" to 10" blades that are light enough to do "bush whacking", two M9s, DFLE, Ontario SP5, Becker BK-9, Ranger RD9, RTAK, RTAK II, Condor Inca knife and more. An INFI Machete is my grail knife. But then, I love machetes and collect them. Light and fast is what I like.
Horndog, have you thought of trying the NMFBM? The combat grade models measure about .248" with the coating. You could always thin it out, and put your awesome convex edge on it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Way too thick and way too much work. It was the NMFBM that made me hopeful for a thin version.
