I think MOAB stands for Mother of All Bowies??? or is it Mother of All Busses?? Anyone know? :confused:
 
It could also be Mother of All Blades. Ranger knives also has a MOAB knife which they term as "Mother of All Blades". I think it was even bigger than the busse MOAB. The Busse MOAB could very well stand for Mother of All Bowies.

EDIT: Here are a couple of pics and the specs for the Ranger MOAB. Justin Gingrich auctioned it off late last year. I think the winner only paid 400.00 for it. Was a steal. I beleive he weighed it at 7 pounds. It was .50 thickness through the entire length I beleive.

MOAB
Blade Thickness .50 thick 5160 RC 58
Blade Length 16.25 inches to the plunge line
Blade Width 3 inches
Overall Length 22.5 inches
Handle Material Green Canvass micarta with ss pins and hollow tubes.
