Sweet set. My first thought: An Uncle Mofo LE would fill the gap between the BOSS Jack LE and the BWM LE nicely
Yeah, that would do it! :thumbup:
I used to own a CS-Mojo w/ serrations and hand-shaped green & black G-10 (BladeWest-07 {or 06?}), which was the most comfortable Busse I have ever owned, that would have been nice to fill the gap between the BWM & BJ; except it wasn't satin (D/C) nor did it have black paper. It was still just as stunning though, IMO. A nice NO would fit the bill too.

Nice set....but I would have gone choilless.
I had an accident that cut my index finger to the bone - via Tank Buster, (lengthwise, from 3/4" below my middle knuckle to the bottom of my top knuckle - about 1.75" {a touch more} total length) that I attribute to not having a choil. I just like the control factor that a choil gives me.

eeek! To keep my finger in one piece I'd go with a choil too!
Maybe dull knives are safer than sharp ones like my mother-in-law keeps saying. She squashes her tomatoes with dull knives, which I can's sharpen because she'll "hurt herself".
If you wanna ditch that evil TB let me know jk.

I already did... I put it up for sale or trade right after I got back from camping (where I was when it happened). I had to sit at a Syracuse hospital for about 8 hours,
from 7 PM till a little after 3 AM :yawn:! While I was there, TWO different people came in with gunshot wounds; one guy (kid - 16-18 y/o) accidently shot himself in the leg, the other was gang related (from what I overheard); he was shot in the arm/shoulder. I was shocked at the lack of compassionate from the staff. I asked how they could be so calm and they told said that at least 2-4 people come in every day from gunshot or stabbing wounds and 75% was gang related. The staff member then went on a startling racist verbal spree (I was STUNNED at her comments)! :thumbdn:Anyhow, I had 7 (I think) stitches put in after x-ray confirmation showed I didnt chip any bone; but the cut was to the bone. I was actually told that I was lucky the knife was so sharp as the wound could have been much worse. They couldnt believe that the cut was caused by a .25 thick knife!
The worse part about it was that it happened 10 minutes after we got to our camp site
(& the TB lay on the picnic table I remember thinking that there is no way my knife would be there when I got back, but it was). My wife thought I was joking, until I threw out a lot of F-bombs and she saw a lot of blood. So, from now on, choils for me (mostly).
