Straight Handle vs Angled Handle

I think I did too.... Just spend my money on the harder to get and harder to find NMFSH in the color I want, and suck it up..
then again, NMFSH for the collection and the Sycko 911 for a beater.. lot's of pondering... lol...

I'm sure you'll love whatever you choose -- Trevor (KnifeHunter) and I had this discussion a while back and he mentioned that the NMFSH was one of the most balanced well made knives he had handled, until the ASHBM came out --- so it looks like either way -- you're going to end up with one of the elite Busse Knives in terms of balance

I think a lot depends on the size of your hands also. Some guys on here like Mr. Brown have hands that could engulf a small country. Some of us here though have slightly smaller hands (like Maddman) and prefer a handle that actually fits our hands. Here are three of the big Busse's, and their respective handles:

One thing that you'll notice is the extra length of the blade on the ASHBM. The ASHBM is an all around win in my book as it fits my hands better, and has more usable blade. Now all they need to do is take and do something a little "cooler" looking to the bottom, like the on the user in the picture.

Wow. That picture really does show how much smaller the ASHBM handle really is.
