So, have you decided yet? That BWM would probably help your daughter out more than the B-11 in terms of what they'll fetch on the secondary market, AND B-11 is in the lead right here, right now. Pray tell, what are your current thoughts now that you've got an informal poll going?
 
i have both and the B11 is lighter and more comfy...2 reasons to carry and use the B11...the bwm is a great knife but the B11 is the "butter on the toast"

The handle on the BWM is absolute perfection. Resiprene C is nice but I much prefer the perfectly sculpted micarta handles on the BWM. Especially for extended periods of chopping. For me the Resiprene handle tends to "walk" forward every 4 or 5 chops but the BWM handle rocks back and forth perfectly, never needing a grip adjustment.
 
Got my daughter taken care of for a while,but not long enough. Looks like the B11 may win because a few of you are right when you say I can get more for the BWM if I sell it. Just bought a knife because I think--hope--I know someone I can sell it to for quite a bit more than what I paid (Mods:I'm not soliciting for a sale) . Not a final decision,but it looks like B11. I like the larger blade on the B11 and the weight and balance;the only problem I have w/ it is that the handle isn't thick enough for me.Guess I can wrap it w/ some paracord.

Dang, my posts were all in vain :grumpy:. FYI, athletic tape is much easier on the mitts than paracord :).
 
Safetyman--I really appreciate yours and everyone's input. I haven't been around long,but you guys have been the voice of reason a few times for me and I sure have learned a lot about knives and firearms. Thanks to all. Ron
