Searching for "The" TankBuster for me. I had a non choiled, non swedged one, decided I needed a choil. Got a choiled, swedged one. Now I'm thinking what I really need is a choil & no swedge.

Liked the blade heavy feel of the no swedge, no choil. Is the less blade heavy feel due primarily due to the choil, the swedge, or a combination of the two?

Wondering if it's worth tracking down a choiled, swedgeless...

If anyone has all three I'd love to hear from you, thanks.

I only ordered one and I still haven't been dinged for it. My order was in the first week too. I guess my options of Satin, no choil, no swedge, round butt and magnum od green g-10 was not a popular choice. The swedge looks awfully good in the pics, so I hope I'm happy without it. I bet it feels blade heavy more because of the lack of the swedge than the choil, but who knows? I was hoping to get one in hand before they went down but now I just have more funds for Bushwackers!
 
I have one with no Swedge and one with, both with choils, can't feel much of a difference in balance between them.
 
This leads me to believe it's the choil, rather than the swedge that accounts for the different "feel". That's what I was afraid of...
