Let me start by saying PLEASE post your ASHBM pics. What do you think of the ASHBM?
We are spoiled right now. Some awesome offerings directly through the Busse website. I'm surprised people haven't posted more about the ASHBM. I held off on getting one because I have an original SHBM along with a few other Mistresses. I finally ran into a deal I couldn't pass up so I got my hands on an LE. I have to say it's a better blade than I thought it would be. It swings like it's .25" thick rather than .32". It's a pretty nimble blade for being so hefty. I had a few NMFSHs in the same thickness that I just couldn't like. To be honest, I find the ASHBM more useful than my .28" NMFBM. I don't know how long it will be available but if you've been on the fence, you should grab one. I didn't give it too much of a workout but I did chop some wood. Took a few other big blades out for pics with it just so you can get a size comparison.


No I haven't used the MOABolo. I'm waiting for a CBT version. I'm going to keep one and sell the other. I want to get my hands on both first before I decide.
If we ever get a B13 that will surely be my favorite but as of right now here is my ranking in order of most useful
1. 1311
2. SHBM (barely used though)
3. ASHBM
4. FFBM
5. NMFBM
N/A MOABolo
