I have a M9LE and a saber ground version... they were some of the first "Busses" I ever bought (both in a week !) and were like a gateway drug....LOL
Such a great knife. I'm only on to Busse/Kin a few years..I've just recently became aware of the Mischief's..started w/ an M9LE. Now looking for a saber ground M9.
I think an M7, M7.5 would be a sweet spot for this handle config..full height grind and satin please..
Do you think the M9 saber chops better than the M9LE due to a little more "ass"?.. would you have the compared weights of both? M9LE vs M9 saber?
My guess on the sabre ground CG will be an LE blank that had a blemish or gremlin that precluded it taking a satin finish and got a coat and landed on a table at a show or Ganza. The M9 releases predate my venture into the Busse world so that is just speculation. We have however seen similar in the past. I do love how sabre ground blades chop but I can't pass a FFG !! They just look "right" to me !!
There was a rumor once upon a time that Klink had one of the M7s...
Can I ask, concerning the Busse Game Warden, any thoughts in comparison with something like a swamp warden with bpiatt scales added or any other similar blades?
Thanks!
Been wanting one for some time..couldnt resist the brown micarta on this sterile.
I'd be all over an M7.
This came today as well..really impressed, news print slicing sharp and bigger than I expected..pleasantly suprised..I'll have this one a long time.
Been trying to get to this reply all week, but it's just been too crazy after the tree cleanup from the snowstorm on Monday. Sorry about that...
Hey Jared, no worries bud. I know how things can go! Our temps just took a drastic drop here, feels like winter is setting in.
Thank you for the comparison pictures, those help no end I saw Ben was making the distinction between the thicker and thinner versions for his scales on the swamp warden in his most recent thread awhile back. All of mine are the thinner versions, and I scored on some scales, but I still think I need to try the Game Warden ----> That .138 thickness sounds really attractive for this knife. Thanks again for the reply.
