I just got a Banned FSH from VoxHoG and judging from the comparison pics and everyone's descriptions of the NMSFNO I just can't see the NMSFNO being a better knife all around than my Banned FSH, even with the grip and the extra 1/2" or so of blade. Mine is a modified CG FSH with a full convex grind and beefed up with liners under the standard old school green linen courtesy of Ban, so it definitely has been tuned up from a standard CG. However, I would imagine a standard CG with a convex edge or a HHFSH being a better all around choice.
