It has been mentioned before, but I will reiterate...
I really have the feeling the BWM is going to do well for INFI investors/collectors. I have read so many posts, and old ones at that, of people asking for thin INFI or thINFI as the natives have dubbed it. Thin is a RARE commodity in the BUSSE world especially when talking about the large blades. Not to mention that the LE's strongly resemble the SHBM:cool::thumbup:

PLUS collecting aside, I really see this as the Mistress of masses...
Most outdoors men want something they can carry comfortably on a their belt for extended periods, and if you take only one knife...Always go big!! If using standard criteria to judge a blade, i.e., cutting, chopping, slashing and stabbing, it is easy to determine that the BWM does all very well BUT it remains light in the hand and on a belt.

Campers generally carry an axe making a heavy FFBM, NMFBM, or FBMLE too much weight to lug through the woods for a long hike. BUT they are fun to chop with!! The CGFBM is sweet but one could happily trade the weight difference for a minimal loss in chopping.

I guess this is my way of saying to all the piglets on the fence...
GET ONE WHILE THEY LAST!! Otherwise Jaxx will buy them all or you'll need a mortgage to buy one from Liu on the X:p;) and forget Bravado, he's sitting in his safe with a shotgun and dust cloth.

Cheers Oinkers.... now go get a BWM!!
 
I got a couple of them and I love them. I am sure the flippers will love the BWM too. Its relatively low cost will help them maximize their profits for sure. I don't flip intentionally. I've sold blades due to buyer's remorse, not liking the design once I got it in hand and due to financial need. Considering the FFBM was about 100 bucks more and the NMFBM was atleast $150 more, but sell in a similar range on the exchange, the BWM may appreciate the most of all the battle mistresses. Newbies looking for a Battle Mistress, may think 5 to 6 hundred bucks is what they go for regardless of the version.

I am really thinking about pulling the trigger on a second one just to hang on to and keep pristine, I would have already but the BOSS came out and that settled that but depending on when they pull them I may just do it
 
If I had any desire to save a knife for resale, the BWBM would be the one. I'm biased by my love for THINFI, but this is one of my favorite Busse's, hands down. A light, fast, thin, non-ridiculous chopper that is barely noticeable on your belt yet easily chops down a 6" diameter tree, while also being a mean brush clearer and fantastic for batoning? You kidding me?

Instant classic.
 
I have a feeling when Jerry gives us the heads up that the BWM is leaving, I will order a second one...

I'm already thinking that the BWM might make my NMSFNO a bit obsolete.
 
I've never considered Busse's "investment" knives. INFI is made to be used... and abused.

That being said... the great thing about Busse that does NOT hold true for many other knife brands/makers, is that using it does not greatly depreciate the value of the knife.

If you get one, use it, and decide it isn't for you... generally you can get most or all of your money back through resale. If you wait long enough, you may even make a buck. :thumbup:

HAHA!! Good ol' Dan. He has a good selection especially if you want something now and you're willing to pay top dollar.

Ankerson, you should get a matching camo job like your CGFBM. That is such a tasty combo.

Once I beat the coating off my Sage/Tan I am going to send it in to get Urban Shadow Camo and Black/Tan G10 mags, or just Black.
 
A poll would be cool to see how many bought just one BWM, two, more than two...

Still thinking I need another....

Hopefully we will know what the following Busse Combat offering is going to be so I can see if its something that I'd want to buy or put that money to another BWM....
