Battle Mistress models now have almost all bases covered. Now there is probably a Mistress for all tastes. We have the Zero Tolerance and the Bushwacker at .1875", the Bushwacker LE at .22", The CG at .25", the FBMSE at .27", the FBMLE at .312" and the FFBM at .32". Lets not forget the 11.5 inch long NMFBM at .25" for those who want more reach. I would say there is a Mistress for everyone. The problem is finding the one you want at a decent price. I think my favorite will be the Combat Grade Bushwacker Mistress for Jungle Bushwacking in grand style.
 
I really like my CGFBM, not too heavy at about 27 ounces. :D:thumbup:

But then we will have to wait until we have the BWM in hand to see. :)

Yeah the CGFBM will be tough to beat, but I'll probably order a CGBWBM anyway.:thumbup:
 
This will be my first Busse- BWM, so i can't compare...

But my financial situation at the moment allows me to buy INFI.

Normally, i couldn't afford NMFBM for over $600, because i also pay int.shipping & custom tax which is +30% of total price. I will pay approximately EUR 350 for BWM.

I rarely use knife for battoning in woods. I do only chopping and here I like more thinner blades, because it seems to me that they go much deeper.

And if the steel is exceptional, as INFI seems to be, I don't see point in buying thick blade.

I ordered Black blade/black micarta BWM.

This is just my personal point of view and meaby i would talk differentially if I would have experience with FFBM or FBMLE.
 
Did they make a FFBM thicker than the FBMLE?? Just wondering cause I've seen others post that, but I have 3 FFBMs and 2 FBMLEs and the FFBMS are all definitly not as thick as the FBMLEs that I have. Actually My FFBMs are just a hair thicker than my old BM-E which in turn is a hair thicker than my CGFBMs. Just curious as to why everyone says the FFBMs are thicker than FBMLEs???

edit: sorry fixed it

It would be nice if the forum had a mouseover feature like wordpress uses, when a standard busse acronym e.g. "FFBM" gets used it turns into a link that on mouse-over shows a small pic of the blade in reference. I am still wasting alot of time translating acronyms.

So FFBM but instead of being a link, the mouse over references a standard photograph which is part of the forum and just pops up, it would make these conversations alot more interesting for the noobs, and i bet a few of the more experienced guys still need to look now and then too.
