SIBLING RIVALRY. . . NMFSHLE vs NMSFNOLE vs NMFBMLE vs FBMLE

Has anyone used all three? I'm interested in a comparison. Alas, I can't do it since I don't have all the pieces to the puzzle.

it should be the NMFBMLE instead of the FBMLE. Between the two, my NMFBMLE is a much better chopper than my FBMLE due to its longer length and slightly thinner profile. But I don't think I will ever get rid of either one!

I had a FBMLE back in 2007 ish. It was too large for my liking, I much prefer the feel of the new NMFSHLE. Its a big blade but it feels very manageable, not that I would want to hump it up a mountian but its a very well designed blade. To me its the perfect Busse for chopping and splitting where as the FBMLE required much more wrist strength to chop.

I don't know only time will tell. My three favorite Busse's by size are the NMFBM, FBM LE and the NMSFNO. I really like them all but would be interested in the results of this test.

I'm not sure it will beat this beast though .

Youre right, lets throw in the NMFBMLE also. I feel so squirrel brained
