If you could only own one: ASHBM, FBM, NMFBM, NMFSH

None of the above....for only 1, I'll take the mother of ALLLLLLLL......:eek: :D

Based on my scientific analysis, the NMFBM is in the lead. Guess I shoulda bought one ;-)

I love that straight handle on the ASHBM though (assuming it's just like that of the ASH-1) and suspect it will be a winner and future classic also.

Apparently the handle is NOT just like the ASH-1, but has been tweaked and stretched to reduce the dreaded 'pinky bite'.
 
I prefer the straight handles over the fusion handles, so the clear choice for me is the ASHBM. If the Basic 11 was one of the choices, that would have made the decision tougher for me.
 
Of the ones listed, I like the ASHBM. 11" blade with choil options.
26.9 oz. on micarta handles and .323" at ricasso.
Flat ground!!! This thing is built to chop!! 20 years in the works, Jerry hit a Grand Slam!!!

Well said Al.
 
If you had to own one I would imagine versatility, balance, and durability come into play. With that said, I don't see how the ASHBM could lose. Chopping power of course goes to the MOAB which is a Titan. The NMFSH I think would come second to the ASHBM. As awesome as the NMFBM is -- I just don't know if it can top the two I mentioned in versatility. Just my 2 cents.
