Is the fsh very similar to SFNO? it looks to be similar in size? Anyone have both?

BGSFNO is 7" long (blade), 0.25" thick. BGFSH is 8.25" long (blade), and either 0.187" or 0.3125" thick. So, similar-ish. I think the blade profile is a little different, too. But not by much.

You might be thinking of the NMSFNO. Very similar blade to a FSH, different handle.

Yes you are correct... They seem to be very similar.... I also have an SHe on order and thought they may be very similar.?

You da HOG! :thumbup: Only three coming here.

IMHO the SFNO is an iconic and most useful Busse blade. The LEs are gone, down to a single CG.

Wow, looks like a nice dream. Nice line up you got there.

I was dinged on Friday around 4:30PM PST.

The original SFNO has a blade almost the same as the ASH-1...

The SFNO is an iconic Busse blade for sure. Congrats to everyone who scored one.

They're similar for sure. But it is that ever-so-slightly less dropped point of the SFNO that does it for me. I'm not a big fan of spear-points, and the closer the blade profile is to that, the less I like it.
Plus, the butt of the two knives are COMPLETELY different. I've worked with blades with that big drop, almost a talon, at the butt. Particularly in chopping, it is a big problematic hot spot. Blades I've worked with in the past with the butt similar to the SFNO have been much more comfortable, with barely any loss in chopping power.

To me, the SFNO or NMSFNO is an extremely well thought out knife, very aesthetically pleasing, above almost all others. ARGH! I wish I had jumped on that one. I guess i'll just continue cruising the exchange ...

Gorgeous.

How about the difference in hand? Does the SFNO fill the hand more than the ASH1? Handle definitely looks wider in the pics.

Ordered 5 November, got dinged about an hour ago.

Black with tan, now waiting on my tan with black Hell razor. I think the black/tan had something to do with what I was drinking!

I got dinged for it on Feb 26th and I still haven't received it, should I be worried?

Nope. Should get a shipping notice soon. Its almost always two weeks after ding for me.
