Favorite Blade from O2WP1?

I gotta get a B13, there's no doubt about that. I'm on the fence with the Jackmandu, though, because I've got a CS R6 with the top guard removed which seems like it's almost identical. Seems like the JMD only has a slight thumb ramp (like the RMD) and a sabre grind compared to the smoother transition to the spine and ffg of the R6.

Definitely see what you're saying, but the R6 looks closer to the Beefmandu. IIRC, the R6's are over 0.26" thick while the JMD is 0.1875" (3/16ths). Not to say they can't fill the same niche, but it's a fairly significant difference.

Good point, I never looked at the specs so I didn’t think about thickness.
 
I discovered Busse right after the TRASH-1 shipped. I didn't participate in OP2W v 1.0 due to having no idea what was going on.
 
My favorite of pt.1? o_O

Guess. :)

I'll give ya a clue ... This is the track she leaves ;) ...

I don't think I can pick just one. There are three that rank at the top:
BG SFNO
BG Hellrazor
BG FSH (thin)

No, I don't favor SR101 over INFI; those are just the designs I liked the best, that work the best for me. The only INFI I got in O2W1 was the TGM, the BAe2, and the BMe2. The BMe2 came close to top three. It is hanging in probably second, with the above 3 tied for first.

There is certainly no reason to dislike SR-101. If you like designs that use it, I can totally understand why you would prefer it over designs in INFI that you don’t enjoy as much. For me, I happen to have an SFNO and Hellrazor in INFI so I have no need for the BG versions, but they rock just the same!

I don’t have a BG FSH but I would certainly not turn one away if the opportunity presented itself to get one. My first Busse, and still one of my very favorite, is a NMFSH.

Interestingly enough, I have a Hellrazor in INFI, as well as a NMSFNO. However, both of those were exchange purchases, so not strictly O2W1. At least that was my thought.

Regarding the HR, even though I have an INFI version, I prefer the BGHR, due to the slight differences. BUT, the NMSFNO is “the one [knife] to rule them all.” It is the one that I would pick over all others (that I have) to take with me in any scenario, anywhere, anytime. All the others are just gravy.

I think when it comes down do it, I would have to agree on the NMSFNO...it's why I cannot part with any of mine...something about that knife above most other Busse just has me by the jespers!
