What's up with the paper FBM 7th one from the right. That doesn't count ~
How many of them are your paper FBMs :D

I remember reading somewhere that it's a very rare (one of a kind) thing (for lack of a better word) that Jerry ground... if that's the case, it counts.;)
 
Not sure I want to post a pic of the entire collection...
It would show the true depths of my insanity when it comes to INFI. :p

And the 7th from the right is a survival saw ground by Jerry out of a bandsaw blade...
He made it to go along with the WASP shbm.:thumbup:

I'm on my iPhone and won't be at my computer until tonight...
Maybe I'll post the full pic tonight... And a closeup of the saw.

Holly Crap!!!! I didn't know it is an original authentic full size Busse FBM.

Lil' Foo, hows about you shoot me your address, and leave a key under the door mat:D

Seriously, NICE collection bro!!:thumbup:
 
I have the FBMLE and a CGFBM.

The CGFBM is my user and I can confirm that it chops very well. I would recommend the CGFBM if you are looking for a user as it has more than enough heft behind it. You don't need the extra weight and will be thankful that you don't have it after an hour or two of chopping :thumbup:
 
Don't worry about insanity. If we're all crazy? What's the rest of the world?

You have one awesome collection of knives. If you dull one up you could wait a few years before getting around to sharpening. Just looking on the bright side.

It's not a FBM or BM at all...

It's this.

Thanks 'Foo, I need threads like this to remind me I don't have it as bad as some. :p

Nice Mistresses! :thumbup:
 
Hey thanks Lil' Foo's, after seeing your collection, I don't feel so bad for having some busse, your crazy and out there, I'm normal for having just a couple:)
 
hey guys......I need to know if the ffbm LE and the FFBM have the same lateral strenght or if the saber grind gives a better lateral resistance to the blade.I have 1 ffbm stripped by me......... and it looks already like a LE. So I was wondering if is better a polished and mirrored saber grind 0.32 thick, or a ffbm LE fulle height grind. I don't mean the cutting performance, just the lateral strenght in terms that the knife is harder to flex. and if anyone knows which one could afford more hard impacts.

I suppose there might be a measurable difference in the lateral strength of those two knives, but there can absolutely be no practical difference that can matter in real world use. It would be like saying "which of two tanks is stronger?", when they can both crush anything in their path.
 
The main difference for me was in the "heft and feel" of the knives....the LE is a bit lighter and feels more dexterous in the hand...if I still had my FFBM I would probably strip it and fully convex it to bring it to the same level of balance as the LE but it would probably have a bit more longevity on the edge for chopping.
 
Just find yourself an '07 SE, and you'll be happy. :p
