They are both light, but the BWM balance point is further back so, the BWM is less weight forward which reduces chopping ability, but makes it feel more balanced as a quick handling blade. The anorexic is a better chopper. I also did not care for the BWM's handles for chopping. It feels like it wants to fly our of my hand and doesn't lock in securely.
I think the AFBM is super underrated. It has good balance for both chopping and knife tasks and is overall very light and nimble. The fusion handle is the winner in my book. Your rotator cuff will give out before your grip.
For me the BWM is middle of the road, enough length to chop or clear brush but it's not thick so heavy chopping depends on a sharp edge and fast swing. Great all purpose, SHTF knife since it can do it all and is fairly light for what you get.
