It's funny to me how different people's tastes are and what knife "speaks" to them.
I read threads with people saying how great such and such a knife is, it's the best for so and so.. etc. but it just doesn't quite grab me.
At present I have a NMFBM, NMSFNO, BATACLE, BAD, GW and just the other day this squatch with a FFBM in the mail... sweet!
My favorite to date has been the FFBM and I regret ever selling mine until I found a replacement and it will be here this week, I hope.
I recently fell in love with my BAD after convexing the blade and making a new sheath for it. It's a sweet EDC knife..
Don't get me wrong, I like the others too but they have never quite grabbed me as much as I would have thought. Sure I get a rush of raw power picking up the fearsome NMFBM. The NMSFNO seems like a fantastic all around knife in the large category.
I've owned 3 BATACS and I like them but they aren't my first choice which is why I'm on my 3rd one. I keep trying to like it more than I do.
Well I just found one that really "speaks" to me. I admit I didn't expect it. I thought, well I'll try it out, take a look, see if anyone wants a sheath made for it and let it go... well I think this will be my main keeper to pair with my BAD.
There's just something about it. The convex edge, the balance, the wide blade, the weight. I like everything about it more than the picture. Sometimes the idea of a knife is better than the real thing, particularly with well photographed customs but this one is better in real life.

I'll take some of my own photos later but here's the stock one.
