So, how much does she weigh?

[Sufler]

So, did we figure out how much the new Bushwacker weighs? I'm guessing around 24-26 oz.?

Thanks!

Combat Grade will be around 23 ounces...Limited Editions about 26.

Completely missed that thread. Thanks much!

Remember, that's with the G10 scales so if you get the BWM with micarta it'll be lighter than those posted weights.

Yup - caught that. We'll see - the CGFBM at .250 and 27.4 oz weight makes a little more sense to me as a general purpose big blade.

It should feel noticeably lighter than a CGFBM.

Should be, there is a lot of difference in weight between the CGFBM and FFBM.

WHY? Lighter= more versatile in my book.

You're the author of your book. I'm the author of mine. j/k

A good combo for me will be a 3/16" ASH and .250 BM. I just don't understand why Busse decided to put those lines into the blade on the .250 CG FBM versions.

Will the lighter CG handle put the weight forward, therefore aiding in chopping?

I know they look silly at first, but they really do work well for preventing binding, at least in my experience.

You could always go for one of the .270" thick, full height ground FBMs from the past year or so...

They feel to be about the same weight as the CG FBM. :thumbup:
There have been several coated in the .270 versus this one which is a satin 2008 FBM SE.

Ohh. That is nice. But, for a user I don't think I'd be able to let that one out the door.

Would anyone have a picture of blade thickness comparisons? I'm really curious to see the .320 vs. .250 blades.

Thank you.

You can find this type with a coated blade as well. :thumbup:
