Don't do it Boss... don't think I can take seeing that thing again!! :eek: :eek:


Bring on the LBSHBMs!!!! :thumbup:

:D

I find that more and more I am just here for the camaraderie. Barring the re-release of the BA III, the release of the mini muk or my incessant need to replace the CGFBM that was once mine, I couldn't justify robbing my kid's piggy banks any time soon.
 
Now I kind of understand why people got so up in arms when I (and others) expressed a lack of interest for the basic series. I want an AA so bad, and will buy one once funds allow. I'm afraid with all this expressed lack of interest and "ehh..." mentality towards it, that Jerry will get the sense that the masses aren't "smashing piggy banks" :D over an AA, and it will be gone before I can scrape up the cheese for one.

I was with you on the LBNMSHBM... I specifically remember associating your avatar with the LBNMSHBM somewhere deep in my psyche :p that's how many times we've both mentioned waiting for it. But at this point, I'm not sure about waiting for it... I put in a custom shop order for an NMFBM. Everything's tough choices since I don't know what to expect from Busse or when to expect it... you think the straight handle BMs are more comfortable than the fusion handle BMs? Think the LB treatment would do justice to what I hear is the "perfect" balance of the NMFBM for chopping?

Actually I have yet to hold a SHBM, but I was able to get ahold of a SHBA during a passaround last year and LOVED it....just not enough to spend the $$ to get one. I found that the main downside of the SHBA was that in a knife that small it only really allowed for one grip which I think is overly limiting in a smaller blade, but of little or no concern in a dedicated chopper.
From my perspective the fusion handle gave me "Busse pinkie", so I'm not a huge fan and which chopping with the straight handle should ameliorate. But I currently use the NMSFNO in the one knife/ chopper role because of the more open handle design. Also I think the NMFBM is just too darn heavy to hang on the pants all day, I have to "hitch" plenty with the NMSFNO. I was SERIOUSLY considering a B11- and still am because of the lighter weight.

Which brings me back around to the LBNMSHBM which I hope will:
Be lighter than the NMFBM because of the machined handle, though won't be as light as a B11.

Have a more open handle than the Fusion design so I won't get "Busse pinkie" while chopping. But also won't have the straight down SH "bird head" on the back of the old school handles, or if it does, since it will have a NM treatment it won't be painful to use for long periods...one could always have it modded though.

NOT have a large choil (a small choil for sharpening ease would be fine) so I can chop all the way back to the handle unlike the B11 or NMFBM

Be fully convexed like the NMFBM instead of the V grind, or asymmetric grind on the B11- Again the grind is easily enough fixed.

But seeing as though we haven't seen pics of this beast yet, I haven't jumped on a B11 which will be my secondary choice.

Until we get some pics I'll keep rockin' my Ontario machetes... and dreaming of a B15 ;)

Oh man, now I'm second-guessing my NMFBM order....... Oh well, at the rate I'm going I think I won't get it till July anyway, so the cost of it over that much time won't seem too bad. I'll get both, so goes the saying here :thumbup:
This is all speculation until we see pictures anyway, but I am almost sure I'll be ordering one. Big INFI is big.
 
I want an AA something awful.....brings me back to childhood....fashioning makeshift weaponary with no practical application, but damn was it fun. It just seems like a "fun" knife to have......and if, a BIG "if" the SHTF situation. Then it achives practicallity, in my eyes. But I still want one.....2 even!!!!

BUT I have to sell a few to buy a few..................AARGGGHHH!!!
 
Don't worry. I bet there are plenty of folks (me for 1) who have no use for, but have always coveted the AA and will give the boss plenty of business on the current offering. When you find yourself with "all I think I could ever want or use" or nothing strikes yer fancy, possibly its time to get out there and try em out again, post some pics, and let us enjoy your trip too. Before you know it he will have more out there than you can buy at one time and we will be posting about having to choose between em. Enjoy
 
Ah the infamous NUKE SEAHORSE!!! A true picture to behold,
