Just got my first Busse

...Pick up the NMSFNO, and the first word to pop into your mind is "power". Pick up the M9LE, and that word is "finesse". Both are awesome big blades :thumbup:

That's the way I see it, too, MM. I won't part with either knife. The M9LE is one sweet handling bowie. The big Busse NMSFNO is the ultimate camp/survival knife.

Thanks for all the kind words. My back patio looks like I have a wood chipper lol, I'm glad I kept some of those tree trimings around.

I agree with MM, I just got my M9LE yesterday and the first thing I thought was "Wow this knife has some balance and finesse". It really does feel light in the hand and has great balance for a knife that length. I also agree that the NMSFNO feels more like a chopper with its forward balance and feel. I really love my SFNO's both versions they make great camp knives and chop well for there size. In time I will get my M9 through its paces and see how it handles chopping. I dont have an wicked convex grind on the NMSFNO but I did bring the edge back on it a bit and it does chop well.

Both are really nice knives and its hard to go wrong with either.
