Yes I think the Khukuri will be the new top piggy once released. Oh did I accidentally cause this thread to stay on the first page, sorry ;)
 
Although I don't have a FBM, or any Busse yet for that matter, I would venture to say it would dominate over the NMFBM (if it were of equal or greater weight).

eta: I would think that the forward balanced design of a khukuri would add considerable advantage in chopping tasks, all other things being equal.

Most definitely dominate the NMFBM, I have a NMFBM as well and it has surpassed my Bolo for chopping and has became my primary choppers. My only regret was not buying 2.
 
DOMINATION!!!!!

The NMFBM just doesn't do it for me. Too MUCH weight. I'm betting Hogzilla will be lighter but not TOO light. Right amount of heft. Plus that the balance is vastly different due to the blade shape.

Tough call on designs. I think the CBT could lighten the blade up a lot, but I like the shape of #2.
 
Sorry guys, just can't stop thinking (coveting probably is more accurate) of ronybear's 0.42" Porky Parkway & Monster Trickster Mojo.
How about 0.42” Khukuri?
 
Hi,Jerry .

Just does not feel heavy to me, I think Jerry and Crew got it right with the NMFBM, I bid knife that you can use! Like a few others I regret only having one!

I hope the Khukri comes in balanced like the NMFBM....I like it....better than the FFBM....two sizes would be great....one at NMFBM weight/balance....the other SHBM weight/balance.....in an ideal world!
 
i gotta chime in here about the khukuri being a better chopper than the nmfbm....


the khukuri can be a better chopper, but only in the right hands.....i own several HI khukuris and i am sure many here are familiar with the HI family of blades...

the thing about a khukuri is the foward balance and blade curvature......the foward balance allows the khuk to use it's own weight when chopping and your hands only need to guide the blade in motion........the curvature of the blade combined with the foward balance produces a sweet spot, which when struck with, provides the perfect edge with which to chop........the curve of the blade allows the edge to enter the material being cut at an angle......this shearing effect allows one to chop effectively with less effort than if the edge were flat...


those are the positives which allow the khuk to be a very effective chopper, but those same traits can make it very dangerous to the user.......due to the front heavy nature and the curvature of the blade, it is very easy for an inexperienced chopper to strike a foul blow.....a glancing hit with a heavy khukuri is very dangerous......the curved blade will twist severely in your hands and cause you to lose your grip, and because the blade is so heavy up front, it will want to fly out of your hand......a 3 pound piece of infi to your lower extremities will ruin your day in a hurry......


so, while a khukuri can be a beast of a chopper, the traits that make it effective can turn on you in a hurry......i prefer the nmfbm, because it might not bite as deep, but it is less likely to cut something off me......

whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can chop pretty effectively with a nmfbm.......not so with a khuk......
