steel heart comes out first!!!
 
i think im gonna get a steel heart.....

if i dont like it, do you think anyone would want to trade for a bm-f once they come out?
 
OOooohhh....but the BM is such a beast :cool:

The new SH is built like a heavy chopper, but with a shorter blade. The BM is a thoroughbred.







LOL, just trying to make it harder for ya, sorry :D :D :D :D
 
it is, but - busse combat cant compare to the himalayan imports ang khola for chopping power. design simply wont allow it, so for real chopping, the bm-wont really see to much use...

i will always prefer the 10" bm blade over the 8 (?)" steel hearts blade, hands down. but, as has been stated, the sh will show first, and the sh will be generally lighter and more compact then the bm for general carry...

for machete work, i have a machete, and for de-limbing of smaller tree's, im not sure wich would be better, the basic 9, or the new battle mistress, but honestly i think that it isnt big enough of a difference for to go into complete debt *the sh will only put me mostly into debt :rolleyes: :( *.

i can understand the features of the bm and their benefits, the grooves on the spine, and the clip point, added blade length and weight, but i dont think i'll ever be in a situation that calls for them so much that the steal heart cant do the job admirably in its place. yes, its a complete package of oppurtunity costs, especially since the thicker sh version will probably bring the weight closer to the standard bm, but i think that if i try hard enough i could get someone to trade me a bmf for it and possibly something else later on *sk, pd, b9, whatever i have at the time*....

it will all come down to how it feels in the hand.... and MAN do i ever wish i had picked them up at blade west....


*lol... my mp3 playlist just went from leadbelly (where did you go) to tool (aenima) to mirah's new album... what a difference...*

Izzat Mirah as in K Records? Saw her solo acoustic a couple years ago, in the lobby of the performance hall on Whitman campus. Calvin Johnson and a few other K records artists played as well. The most intimate show I've ever been to- maybe 50 people there.

And to get back on topic- when's the SHF's release? :D :D :D
 
ive seen video's of screamo bands like usurpe synapse playing in basements with the camera guy actually sitting on plumbing pipes coming off the ceiling (wich wasabout 5'8" from the ground....). bout the size of a small bathroom, something like 10 people, cause thats all you could fit...

and ive been to some pretty low turn out metal shows... childress and anubis rising had about 12 people show up at the living room in santa barbara... i guess the most "intimate" show ive ever seen would be isis at the living room... there was only about 10-15 people at the show at that time (there was about 150 that came in when dillinger started (maximum room compacity of around 160... got to around 110 degree's in there... and there was a firespitter...).

but while isis was playing, it was basically just me and my freind in the front row... and isis with a small crowd, and good speakers is a bueatiful thing... there was a section where the speakers could keep up with the volume, and aarons voice split into 3 parts, the actual tone, then one that went up and one that went down, creating a sort of digital effect that was just analog harmonics at the upper decibil levels... that was a really amazing show....

i beleive that is the mirah i was refering to :), specificaly the album "You Think It's Like This, But Really, It's Like This"... id love to see one of her shows...

the steel heart could be anytime this month (october) if things go well, or it could be 6 months should it get pushed to the back of the line... hopefully any day now though

just buy one of both,,,and the one that you like the least,,,just send it to me.


I'll more than likely buy a coated blade SH,,,I love the satin finish blades,,,but they are very easy to scratch when taking them in and out is the sheath,, my satin finished NO has scratches on the blade from that custom made Busse cardboard sheath that came with the knife.
:cool:
 
with satin you can patina it, and if it rusts you can just sand paper the rust off, where as with the coating, you have to remove coating to get the rust off...

but, like others have said, if you dont like the coating, you could always try using it off :rolleyes:

cant buy two... im actually going to sacrifice buying a bm so i can buy the sh... wich i may end up regretting, but thats how being low on funds goes....
 
both knives are Awsome :eek: :eek: I held, rubbed, and drooled over both at the 04 Blade show in Atlanta,,I love the way those handles feel ,, I think you will be very satisfied with which ever you choose between the two,,,I know that i will be ordering one of both. :cool:
