FFFBM or NMFBM?

I would say the NMFBM would be due to the extra length of the blade.

 

I've seen both in action, side by side, and I would have to go with the FFBM. Although you shoud do yourself a favor and just get both!!

 

I think the NMFBM cause the FFBM are very thick and may be wedged in there when chopping altough it does get rave reviews when it was tested on knifetest.com
get one of each and find out for yourself

 

Yeah I remember something about the knife was breaking the tester

 

With the Busse BMs, your arm will so break before the knife does That's no joke, my arm just gets tired and I just stop chopping... they all take a beating and keeps on ticking... so if you want something that will never break, get a couple of them... one for every use

 

Oh I know. :thumbup:

 

If you are talking about the NMFBMLE then that one. Nothing beats a full convex grind to zero edge in all out chopping.

If you put a good convex edge on the FFFBM, it will be a race.

 

To me, the FFBM is better because it is easier to handle although it too is a heavy blade.
IMO - Easier to handle = better chopper.
I've had both.

 

The NMFBMLE just pounds through wood with that sick edge.

IMO I would wait for the Bushwacker and then throw a convex edge on that thing, then you get a great chopper that shouldn't break your arm.

 

I was batoning wood yesterday with my FFBM (more like just chopping wood) and I was chopping straight through firewood logs with one big swipe. I will try to get some video footage tomorrow or Friday for this post!

 

Well my first BM was a FFBM and it felt imbalanced to me....I sold it without using it....it felt that "wrong" to me....next was an LE flat grind FBM and then a NMFBM which is fully convexed....I still have both of these and the NMFBM is the best for me....

 

I have both and prefer the NMFBM as a chopper.

 

I like the way you think young fella.

I personally like the NMFBM.

 

they're all bad daddies so a lot really depends on personal taste, how the knife feels to you - I preferred the CGFBM to all but the NMFBMLE, which is an undisputed BEAST but so expensive that I had to sell it towards a house purchase when I really needed the money. Of course if money isn't an issue there's always the MOAB, mwuh-ha-ha-ha-ha-haw!

 

Yep, I love the way my CGFBM feels too. :thumbup:

 

I dont have a NMFBM but would think that the longer thinner blade would be a better chopper than the big ole fat saber ground FFBM...but, again I've held but not used the NMFBM.

 

If all things being equal ie. the means of delivery of the cutting edge to entended item to be cut, I would say the FFBM! You know it's the old mass and energy on the cutting edge thing.
BUT, if I am out there swinging this joker I am definitely going with the NMFBM (lighter) cause it want tire me out as fast therefore at the end of the day, I generate more work performed... My .02!!!
AT first when your freash yea the FFBM, but after you have peaked in energy, that's when the NMFBM comes to bear.

 

I can't link to the thread I did a while ago about BM chopping. The FFBM and NMFBM performed almost equally for me. I enjoy all my BMs but I would have to say the NMFBM is the daddy of the choppers. With a little getting used to the extra length of the blade it really begins to out perform the others.

 

Both are monsters. Own two distinct monsters.
