Busse specs: widths?

[uyotg]

Hey all, I was wondering if there's a resource somewhere for the widths of all the Busses, or at least the BMs. I'm interested in the NMFBM, FBM/FFBM/FFFBM, NMSFNOs specifically. I measured my BWM at about 1 55/64" right in front of the choil, which is pretty beefy... but I'm craving something wider, where the edge is well in front of the knuckles when the knife is held, though with straight edges, not recurved. I'm thinking like a cleaver. I've only seen and handled five different Busse models in person and they're all more or less as wide as their handles.

Thanks!

NMFBM 2.04"
CGFBM 1.91"
HHFSH 1.98" (very slightly wider than an NMSFNO, IIRC)

The only Busse that is wide like a cleaver is the NICK/Thin NICK, and those are rare and expensive.

Sounds more like the thickness there, bud I'm looking for the width... known as the blade height in some circles
I'm sure 0.32" thick would make a great cleaver though!

Thanks for starting! I think it'd be a good project to get those Busse specs floating out there updated with the width... but I'm a technical writer by profession so I'm into completeness and accuracy of info like that :thumbup:
