Nmfbm?

I guess im not in the majority. I never really liked the way the nmfbm felt in hand. Then again it could of been my handles. Both the ones i had were mag grips that were barely sanded by the shop. As far as value... The last one i sold i pretty much had to give away. Guess it all depends on the exchange climate tho. If i ever buy one again it would be an LE and really be wall hanger. If i need that big a chopper my moabolo does the trick and feels way better.

Maybe... But I have to say as much as I love the SR101, INFI is the way to go on the large choppers. It's simply the best. Still the point is well taken as it is a fantastic design on the NMFBM and a more affordable option would be welcome. In my opinion it is the best iteration yet of the chopper and the mistress line. There is a reason they don't pop up much on the exchange...

:D

I hear ya, but my 1311 has been telling me that sr-101 works just fine in a large chopper blade :)

I really can't complain, as Jerry has just offered a bunch of large blades in it and I already have a Parang and Double Talon coming. I just want to try an NMFBM or something close and thus far I'm too much much of a cheap bastard to want to pay more than ~$400 for a user (and yes, it took me a looong time to even work up to this level). In reality though, I'd probably be in either way if it happens. I nearly caved on the last NMFBM I saw on the Exchange... As usual, what I can afford and what I'd like to pay are two different questions, lol.
 
NMFBM's are ok, they are pretty, but something about them just never really got me super excited. :confused:
I've had four & sold four, and found the thinner they are the better, so a re-do would be exciting in the .22-.25 range like the recent battle saw.
This was my favorite that I would have kept out of them all.

Still have the FBM LE, Moabolo & TTKZ though. ;)
 
The CGFBM used to be at the top of my "most wanted" list, until I realized the NMFBM was an inch and a half longer :) I wasn't even aware of the MOABOLO until recently, but it is pretty much tied at the top now. I haven't seen one for sale yet and figure since it appears to have been a recent offering, we'd be less likely to see a new version of it anytime soon. I certainly wouldn't mind being wrong though.
 
Blade is coming... I may figure out a way to go just for a chance to score another Moabolo.:D Y'all can squeal over the NMFBM's. :p
I don't have both in the same shot, but you can size reference compare them between these shots as the FBMLE is the same in both.

Does anyone know what all thicknesses they've been offered in? A friend had a thinner one and I haven't seen or heard of one since. Unfortunately it was stolen in the mail.
 
Please at BLADE let there be a NMFBM combat grade with CBTs that I can afford.

I'll buy it, do a shot of tequila, drop the mic and head out

The original CG's were roughly .25" coated which means once stripped they would be .25" or slightly under. All the rest, either LE's or show offerings vary up to as thick as a little over .29" which when coupled with G10 mags can be quite a difference in the weight. It's funny, .04" doesn't seem like a lot on paper, but across 17+ inches of INFI it shows up quickly in use.

Sorry to hear about the mail theft, that should be a hand losing offense for the people who like to make those kinds of wrongful choices.

I'll to check mine again and see how thick it is, I think .29. I know my buddy had a Mashed Cat sheath for his that mine won't fit in, not even close. It's definitely the thinnest I've heard of so far.
 
I've been told some were thicker then the .29, like .31.... What's the story there? Do any of those actually exist?
 
I've heard of the .31 but never seen proof/confirmation of one, it sure would be nice to see one measured in a pic. :)

The CGNMFBM I have is sage coated and is .275 Thick

Is it an original run or one from a show since then? At the two shows I have been to there were a lot of CG coated NMFBM offerings that were all thick. The first show taught me to bring a micrometer to all future shows I attend.

Excellent, I have a 4" digital caliper I bought just for blade... Gotta know how thick that beefy infi is
 
Yeah, I've had several NMFBM's and all were .28 or thicker and never really hit the sweet spot for me. If I ever can lay hands on a .25, I may reconsider it. I was tempted by the WTF and the Parang, but was/am pretty broke. May try to pick one up at a later date. I'm fine with SR101, as it's much more affordable for me. I miss my MOAB, but at @.41 it bound a bit and wore you out fast. That, being said, if I could afford a CG @.3 something MOAB or MOABOLO, I think that would be my "perfect" Bussekin chopper.
