nmfbm vs ffbm (Praise your favorite Mistress)

mach 5 · Jul 16, 2012

I am in the NMFBM camp ... my first chopper was a FFBM and I did'nt like the balance and feel ... lots of time though for the NMFBM ... prior to the Khukri's coming out this was my main chopping blade.

Thanks for the input. Can you describe how you felt the balance was different between the ffbm and the nmfbm, and comment on what you liked better about the nmfbm. Also, it sounds like you have moved on to the Khukri's, I'm curious why you find those better still.

Am I missing something here in soulrack223's photo the BWM blade looks longer that the FFBM and CGBM's? I thought that they were all 10 inches except the NMFBM which is slightly longer??

Here are my mistresses. I'm partial to the CGFBM with CBT but between the NMFBM and FFBM, I'd go with the FFBM. I like its thicker stock and squared edges.

No, the BWMs are skinny and about a half inch longer.

Apparently I was missing something... Thanks for clearing that up:thumbup:

The

has the difference listed at a quarter inch, but it does look longer than that in the pictures.
