Here it is ! ! ! . . The Nuclear Meltdown FBM ! ! ! . . . . Lots O' Pics!!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the CG AK's $647? That would lead me to believe that these will be more than $397, although I'd be all over 2 at that price! I would wager the CG will be $697 and the LE $900. My budget would limit me to only 1 if it's a one time offering. That's why a regular offering of the NMFBM would be my choice, even though the bussmuk is highly anticipated and I keep expecting an Anorexic Assault Shaker offering too. I'd like to have a few months to accumulate some NMFBM's in the combos/options I want instead of settling for what I can get in my BCS cart. YMMV

...this thing is more a novelty than anything else, but a cool one at that.

When it comes to blades, I guess one man's novelty is another man's grail. For me, blade length over 18 inches begins to flirt with the excessive, but short of that, well, in my mind if you're going to build a chopper it might as well have some reach. This is the closest thing I've seen to machete-length in an INFI blade, and the "melt mods" are a wonderful refinement. Keeping the thickness down around .25" hopefully will make it no more blade-heavy at 11.5" than a 10" FFBM @ .320".

I can hardly wait to wield this baby.

Thanks, Jerry--you are so very the epitome of Da Man!

Edited just to say: What you've done with the "meltdown" treatment on the edges inside the choil is enough to bring a tear of joy to an old man's eye.

The world's prettiest (and costliest) camp machete. The first modern crew-served battle knife. That thing is just plain outrageous. It sure is pretty.
 
haha, figgers two days after I buy a FFBM this thing comes out...itll be a year until I replenish my savings...just gonna tell myself its too big...I guess:(
 
Looks like it might be pricey especially considering the price of just a standard FBM. Hey GP bring back some affordable stuff for a change! We ain't got Ducci or Stinx money!
 
The LE looks like the most awesome blade ever......and one of the priciest.


I'm noticing a theme here, not a lot of extra dough to go spend. Same here.

Very nice indeed! I may have to have one of these! :thumbup:


I would like to see a competition grade as well.:)

we'll see how heavy it is, but I expect it to be close to the FFBM, I hope it is more like the FBM LE instead. The FFBM is too heavy. But we'll see.

It looks like it should be an excellent blade so long as it isn't heavier than the FFBM and if it's lighter...then the more so the better....though I think it'll probably be kinda stout being convex and all don't you think? Dunno tho.

All I know is other than the SHBM, my favorite chopper to USE at least is some sort of 12'' machete....I have a couple heavy one's and a light one....the heavy ones are perfect both in reach and weight to do some chopping so long as it isn't larger than say wrist thick and do great on all the larger of the smaller stuff. Just did an incredible amount of tree trimming with a SHBM and a 12'' bladed S7 Machete (with a convex/scandi edge) the Machete is slightly lighter than the BM and is about 1/8'' thick, maybe slightly more.

The SHBM is a sweet knife, but sometimes I find myself wanting a chopper with that extra couple inches or so that isn't a Machete (full height or convex) and a Busse would be perfect!

I hope I don't have to start training just to handle the damn thing though :p

I'll go for a CG and a LE if for nothing else, the novelty of having a friggin destroyer and a pretty knife to keep with my "Precious 1/300" in the safe.

I love this blade, the LE looks absolutely fantastic!!!

Too bad about the hand-shaped handles though...I really wish this came in non hand-shaped flavorings!

Well, I hate to bring in the Rats, BUT...

I was thinking this thing might compete with the Rat Daddy for my best/longest/most comfortable chopper... Flame on, but the Rat Daddy is as light and fast as a SHBM with a handle that fits me way better (no pinky troubles), plus a little extra blade length.

If I could have one in INFI (and even better if convexed), oh yeah :thumbup: :thumbup:

(of course, if they recurved it like a mojo/mofo or silent knight, even better :D)

No flames bro, I'd love one....just can't seem to find one for less than like $400.....just can't bring myself to buy a knife for that markup that I haven't held or seen in person before :p I think I'd like it though. I like the EU style handles. I really liked the EU Mag but it was just too light/skinny for me...the SHBM is nearly perfect for me at least. You justh have to find the right one that doesn't give you pinkie bite. I've had 2 users that gave me the bite and have two right now that are perfect.

If I've got the spare cash to burn the next time one comes up....it might just buy one of those puppies er....rats......

I can't remember but they might have had some sort of sheaths with them....I think I saw the last one for $350 or so as a matter of fact.....:p but I spent all my play money at the clubs over the week prior :D
