Am I missing something?

Does the number mean anything other than it has different slabs. :confused: :confused:

I believe I read it was the absolute last of the snakeskin.

I just like the snakeskin on that offering and I had thought it was the last of the snakeskin as well.

I would imagine if there would have been enough for 14 or 15 it would have been that.

I don't care about the number per se but more about the LE with the snakeskin. One of the LEs that I would really like to have.

I could be wrong though. :confused:

In one of your previous posts you mentioned wanting something "machete" like. The CGNMFBM is thinner than most of the NMFBM le's, so it would make a better machete, but not a good one, IMO. From personal experience with my FFBM's and even the lighter CG FBM's they are too heavy to use as machetes... efficiently that is. The inertia produced by such knives is very great, and should be taken into consideration, and respected. I find swinging my 2lb. FFBM at hanging vegetation or brush, scary:o. There's nothing in light vegetation to absorb (and slow down) the beasts energy, and if you're fatigued or careless... you're BM could end up in your thigh as a result.

So, if you want a machete like tool I'd recommend a Ruck, if you can find one... before I do.;)

Long story short, I recommend the CGFBM, it's all the mistress I need.

Yes, an NMFBM LE might be overkill, to say nothing of the expense, for what you have described so far as your need. It's a big heavy knife, OK for camp use, but not something to pack and carry very far. A user CG FBM can be had a little over $400 if you're patient, and it is fine chopper without being too heavy. You might even consider a SARSquatch or an NMSFNO, both a good mid-size all-around kind of knife.
 
I'll second the recommendation of an NMSFNO, especially since you can still grab one new from Busse for $327.00. It should do everything you need and more.

mmmm love those hand shaped handle scales. :thumbup:
 
Heavy Heart if you can find one....if not, then the std FSH with Mag slabs. Not too much overkill with this knife and it's got the qualities of a chopper and you can choke up on it for smaller work.:thumbup:
