Well, after all these pics have been posted of CGFBM's, its finally pushed me over the edge to start saving up for a good user. My question is this: Does anyone have enough experience to say if the CBT on the CGFBM is as effective as it is pleasing to the eye? I've read quite a few threads, but no solid staements that I have found support the effectiveness while chopping. Any input?
 
My only input is that the CBT looks amazing on the BM, HR and 55! I believe I even saw it on a BATAC or similar blade. It seems like good tech but, I also never found good evidence in my limited research. I would love to see Jerry bring it back on more models similar to what he's doing with the LB treatment. I actually wanted to start a pole to see if others wanted to see it on more as well. I just couldn't figure out how to do it. :)
 
I cant say from personal experience that it helps with chopping but I do know it looks awesome!
 
Does a nice job of reducing drag while chopping.

Oh yeah, and it looks sweet as well.

I got a couple of Hellrazors and a HG55 with it, and I sure would like to get a CGFBM:thumbup:

There haven't been many posted in the FS section lately.

I'm still looking for a second one (so I can use the living crap out of the one I have and not feel guilty) as well as an FFBM, not much luck lately.
 
I've had my eyes on the CGFBM for years (literally since it came out but did not have the funds for it until now). I did wonder the same thing, does the ridges actually have a function or does it reduce chopping performances like some folks has told me when compared to other Busse knives with no ridges of the same size blade? I clear trails as part of my volunteer work so I don't mind carrying something of this size out into the woods, just want to know which will help me get the job done. I like the ridges primarily because of it's look and style (if I'm going to go out chopping things left and right, might as well do it with a pretty knife!) but I also know I will need the right knife for the job with life long warranty. I could think of no one else but the Busse company.
 
Can't see how it could reduce chopping performance. It looks cool and it can't hurt. Go for it.
 
The CBTs make the knife...
- lighter
- faster
- stronger (for the weight)
- beautiful

Go for it. My CFGBM and 1311 are my favorite choppers.
 
Probably wont reduce anything (I can't judge since I never had one) but this is what got me thinking in first place (snipped from a CGFBM discussion elsewhere):

My honest opinion on the fsh and cgfbm - fsh is 8", .27" thick, satin finish, cgfbm is 10", .25" thick, corrugated bevel technology - all were coated from the factory. A satin blade is better for actual use for a few reasons like less friction and it doesnt look worn as quickly and it cleans up easily. The cbt has less friction than a normal coated blade because heres less surface area touching whatever you are batoning or chopping thru, but satin still seems to slide thru a bit easier. The downside to satin finish is corrosion resistance but is not a problem with infi.
