Battle Mistress vs. Busse #9

[contender]

Can someone tell me the differences between these two as well as the pros and cons?

thanks !

I can give you the basics (no pun intended):

BM-INFI steel
#9-modified INFI steel (slightly softer, slightly less edge retention. Note though that this is like saying a Porsche 911 is a little slower than a 911 Turbo).

BM-Has the new ergonamic micarta handle
#9-Has respeine-C handle angled at 5 degrees

BM-approximately $349
#9-approximately $204

If you have the money or demand the ultimate go for the BM, if you want an amazing knife at a great price which will probably out do anything you need it to do anyway, go for the #9. Hope this helps.

Where can I buy a Busse #9 for $150? - Or does anyone have a deal on a BM ????

Is there really a place on the net where I can get a #9 for under $150 fracmeister? If there is, I would sure appreciate knowing where! Thanks.

obviously trucloads of 9s not available at that price... just the best i ever did for an nib 9 from a bf member.... but below 200 is routinely achievable and you can get them pronto....that is the main difference... that said, I use a battle mistress and a badger attack
