Grail knife in the house

[mainaman]

Today I got my grail Busse, The MOAB (yes I wrote a "The" in front )
That knife is magnificent. It bites really deep and feels surprisingly light in hand.
I added a few pics together with my NMFBM and BB13 for comparison.

The knife measures 14.25" in length, compared to 11.25" (NMFBM) and 13"(BB13). This is another kind of animal, and I love it from first touch.

A BG MOAB would be wonderful, but a Basic MOAB would really make my day!

Wow that is very cool.

It will need a big handle to make it feel right , not sure Busse makes them that way.

A MOAB LE would really make my day!

I'm ready for a new res-c handle, but not for a MOAB. I'll make do with a BG version in sr101 or s7!

Maina - that is a really awesome blade. That is the perfect knife for that coating pattern as well, and I love that particular color combo above the others. I am seriously admiring your get, and I am glad you are as pleased with it as you were expecting to be.

That is one of the finest looking blades out there, in my opinion, not just saying that - I am seriously impressed.

A numbered LE edition MOAB would bring a good bunch of collectors me thinks. I like the idea!!!

Nice catch!!

Thank you! What is the blade thickness?

Excellent!!! The MOAB is truly something to behold. For a knife that size, it's very well balanced and doesn't just feel like a giant slab of sharpened steel. It's certainly very well designed.

Totally agree Rob. Even though it is a lot of knife, it feels very nimble and not very heavy in hand.
