FBMLE question

[DavidZ]

Does any one have the weight of this knife?
Also, I remember seeing a tutorial on how to knot a paracord hand guard for a Busse. I cannot find it now. Can any one direct me?
Thanks,
Dave.

Here's some info on the DGuard:

If you do an advanced search on google and enter www.bladeforums.como as the search domain, you'll find even more stuff.

I weighed a few on the postage scale at work and the FBMLE comes in right at 30.0 oz.

The FFFBM with standard canvas was at 31.4 oz., and the CGFBM with canvas Mags was 27.1 oz.

Thanks all for the information. I have a FBMLE on the way to me right now. I can hardly wait for it to arrive. I haven't had any INFI for a long time. Toooo long. Now I have to find out where to buy that cool paracord they use. Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Dave.

I bought some paracord at Cabelas. I am sure there are more sources, with way more colors to use, at a cheaper price, I just happened to spot it and picked up a pack.

Mine was made too big, unless I have boxing gloves on.

here are some pics to liven it up (per Gerberblades request)
