Just saw you guys got some great reviews and press in F&S. Full page spread of the Battle Mistress and the following review under "Heavy-Duty Hackers"

The Battle Mistress is not a radical design. It has a conventionally shaped 10-inch blade, but it is nearly 2 pounds, and quite literally as sharp as a razor. This combination of weight, strength, and extreme keenness makes it unique. Do you wish to behead a hippo? Would you like to chop down a telephone pole? Perhaps you yearn to slice a redwood into sections? If you have the Mistress and a strong arm, you can.

All very true from what I've seen around here. Maybe I should invest in one:thumbup:
 
Someone mentioend the top 20 knives in general knife discussion, hopefully someone scans the full article! I'd like to read about some of the others.

Hopefully this doesn't cause the FFBM to reach insane prices like the SFNO!

In the linked thread the full article is scanned on page 3 or 4.
 
It's just the page with Busse on it. By full article, I mean the full writeup - about every knife.
 
I read it briefly when my issue came on Saturday. Interesting list. Petzel didn't go into too much musing before dropping the 20 top knives. Not so sure all 20 are top knives. Of course, I think I'd have a hard time coming up with 20 knives anyhoo.

Hmmm. But then, I could retire ... right now!! :D

That makes me glad there's an LE on my night table. :cool:
