FK Size Comparison w/ S!K & Busse

That custom CABS is pretty sweet Gus, let me know if you ever want to part with it. :thumbup:
 
Very cool Gus. Thank you. Honestly that custom handle is the most comfortable looking handle I've seen on a Busse. Really like it.
 
Thanks for your comparison pics Evltcat, that leaner meaner is larger than I thought.
Killer collection Hard Knocks!
Love that Field Knife,,
 
Thanks bud! The leaner meaner threw me, too. I thought they were much smaller. Man they look slicey as heck though.

I was imagining the ASH to be twice that size. Thanks for the comparisons!

Here's a comp pic I got off the internet. Blade lengths: NMFBM =11 1/2", ASH1 =6 1/2", NMFSH=9 1/2".

I hope you don't mind me borrowing your pic. It was dark, and I didn't have any comp pics of a ASH-1 and some of the larger Busse blades.

I don't mind in the slightest. Hopefully it was able to help someone out. It's nice being able to see some of these side by side.
 
Love that custom CABS Gus!!!!

FK with some bigger Busse:

Can't wait for a chance to score a CPK SK and maybe, (if I'm super lucky) a LC! :thumbup: --- :D
 
I have a Mini Vex coming tomorrow. Other than that, I've only got the 1111 for a comparison.

Looks like you got your new EDC scales :thumbup: That's a lot of nice steel put together in a short time man.
 
The image that was posted above which had the FK and the GSO 4.7 gave me the opportunity to stage a rough comparison that I've been wanting to do for a while to look at the layout of those two knives from the perspective of handling similarities and/or differences.

At a glance both knives look like they bring a substantially different functional layout to bear, given the rather straight-looking GSO and the curved spine and canted blade of the field knife. However, when you overlay their silhouettes, and rotate them to situate likely points of hand/finger contact together, which will determine the blade positioning relative to the user's grip, it looks like they both wind up bringing the knife to the work at roughly the same position and offset from the hand. What's interesting to me is that when viewed this way (ie. with the handle as the positional reference, rather than the blade), the GSO 4.7 starts looking a bit more like a nessmuk: the rear handle swell starts looking less like a handle swell, while the mid spine through the blade starts looking a bit sway-backed.

My GSO 4.7 is still in the mail, and my Field Knife only showed up last week, and I haven't done any real work with it yet, but I'm pretty curious to see which I prefer where the palm swell is concerned, as that seems to be the central difference in the design of the two knives' grips.

Anyways — neat fodder for contemplation, I thought.
