Finally got done with this big bad girl! Spent the better part of today hand satining and sharpening this baby up. It now sports a full flat grind and a stupid sharp convexed edge. I think my left arm is now bare testing the edge on this one.

hehehe.... I thought you guys are already tired of seeing all my modified knife pics ;) I am heading home to take pics now. Stay tuned!
 
I tried to remove as little as possible to achieve the full height flat grind. The weight outcome is still damn heavy. Still about twice the weight of my FABM. I doesn't look as thick as it should because I beveled all of the 90 degree edges on the spine. According to my calipers it is .290 thick. It did lose some weight but still quite a bit heavier than a CGFBM.

With the owners permission I will be testing this big girl to see how it chops. If Hogwash is around.... perhaps he can volunteer some arm hair for the shaving videos. Hopefully he can come around to film the chopping for me.
 
Hey Ban...

I know we have talked, but your recent review/compentition has me thinking again. FABM vs. Satin Convexed FFBM! Maybe I'll have you do two!! :eek:

In my hands the Satin Convexed FFBM will probably beat the FABM by 5-6 chops. In someone else's hands that is another story. I will know for certain as soon as I test it. I can swing my FABM pretty darn fast compared to the speed that I can generate with the Fatty. What the FABM lacks in weight it makes up alot in speed. Now remember the FABM is only half the weight of this Satin Convexed FFBM.
