When you get a chance, or if you do, give a performance review as well.
Okay, I had a little woodsbumming time today and could manage chopping a fallen young tree off the path and made some fuzzsticks as well as a half-assed spoon. My conclusion: the NMSFNO CG (didn't try the LE, but I expect it to do even better) is a very formidable tool indeed. It has impressive chopping power for its size, and with gloves the machined mags had absolutely no slipping at all - very secure grip in spite of not having a Fusion handle. No Busse pinky either!
I actually found that given enough wood to chop, I could do better with this thing than my FBMs (or FFBMs and NMFBM) - the mistresses have more raw power, but their weight will eventually tire me a bit and I will end up swinging the lighter NMSFNO much faster and end up doing the job as quickly or even a bit quicker. For "normal" size chopping tasks that won't take hours I will still use a mistress (if not something even heavier) but for limbing and clearing a big mess that will take literally hours to do, I will use the NMSFNO instead (unless I'm using a chainsaw, which I really don't like using all that much). Chopping performance - very good.
Performance in smaller work - better than I expected! With all my normal line (no Nuclear Meltdown) large Busses I've always had the problem of the sharp edges on the choil and spine digging into my hands in smaller, prolonged work. Not so with the NMSFNO. The balance of the blade is right on the choil, and the tip isn't all that heavy. Turns out that the smaller stuff is pretty comfortable to do with the NMSFNO, and not too fatiguing (although of course nowhere near as quick and comfy as with a smaller, thinner knife). I wish I could have made a video of my tomfoolery with this knife, but I don't have the hardware or the brains for that
With the tip being much thinner than the monstrous tips on the FFBMs and such, and the blade being wide and having a nicely rounded spine, it was even surprisingly comfortable to hold the knife by the spine near the tip for some tasks. The fuzzsticks and the spoon turned out fine with a factory edge no less, and would have done what they were made to do well enough.
For those of us interested in prying stuff (as I occasionally am), even though these NMSFNOs are .25" and under, the convex grind makes them pretty darn strong and beefy. It's not easy to get these things to bend even in heavy prying.
Overall performance of this knife is excellent. No complaints. The LE should be even better as it came with a thinner edge.
If I was going somewhere woodsy, and was allowed to take just one Busse and no other bladed tools of any kind (no axes, saws or anything), then I would take my NMSFNO. :thumbup:
I would use the savings to buy more NMSFNOs!
