Impressions - monster blade! it is wicked looking, and it is a beast. I wear a size 9 leather working glove, 8.5 if I want the leather to be nice and tight for specific type of work, medium-large in mechanix, etc. So the fusion handle has a lot of room as usual for me. I love the CGFBM and NMFBM for chopping, so this should work nicely - still the SHBM handles are the best for me and always will be, i'd imagine...
Hard to tell without a test to see how this will chop compared to the classics with its different grinds, etc. The length alone should generate lots of power and it is just a beast to wield. Surprisingly, it does not look "ridiculous in hand" (well, it is kind of ridiculously badass looking in hand), of course, that is coming from a Busse aficionado! Most regular people would think this is insane and I am sure most of my friends will have the same feeling even though they are used to seeing my larger Busse's.
Completely unique Mistress variant with a place all of its own in the pantheon of Big Busse Blades, in my opinion. It cannot really be compared to any other blade I own, aside from fusion handle. The grinds that are shown on the comp finish version are just something else. Beautiful comp finish on this one!
I like the blade a lot - I got it because it would be unique and so it is, indeed.
Likely will move the comp and beat on the CG - I love that combo, and wait for the Nuke to come in and see about it. I am trying to not "collect multiple blades to sit on" and I think the Nuke and a CG might be with me for awhile.
Bottom line - it is a completely unique blade of all Busse's I own and it will be sure to wreck some wood when I get the chance. An over the shoulder rig would be perfect for this one if intending to carry into the woods, or hike with, or a good blade to throw on an ATV/in the truck. It no doubt has power in it, and the .25" is manageable.
Swinging with wrist and forearm it is difficult to discern a huge difference in overall "heft" from the CGFBM at .25", I think due to the bowie grind.
It is also pretty awesome that the tip thickens back up as you can see in the comp photos especially - a great little detail/design feature that is important.

Wow..thanks to COPIUOS's pics it's interesting to see how that mean blade is engineered.. they were able to give it that agressive clip point curve but it appears to be pretty well re-enforced with that swedge thingy.. the tip actually looks tougher than I had originally Invisioned
Hmm... it's almost as if its designer was a master bladesmith of over 40 years with a one of a kind team of expert craftsmen........hey wait
But that kind of team would require a constant fuel source of at least 80 proof...
