[Father & Son Traditional Sharpening]

Me watching everyone else enjoying their new Mistress while I'm waiting to get dinged for my pair of AFBM...

Too lazy and busy today to pull all of these out again. It looks just like the FFBM & BG FFBM with the same feel and specs of the CGFBM without the CBT.

CGFBM was 0.25” thick, this should be 0.21”, or no?!

You are correct, it is slightly thinner and lighter. Without measuring they felt the same in hand and in the spine to spine pinch test.

Mine just came in, digging the thinner stock

Wonderful Knife.
Molded up our leather sheath for this beauty.

 

[The Knife Life]

Nice looking sheath Azula Gun Holsters .

How's it work for retention? I see it's form fitted but I'm having a hard time imagining it grips the knife like a kydex sheath does. Maybe that's just it though, it works exactly like kydex does, just a different material? I've only had leather sheaths which use straps over the handle to retain the knife so I'm intrigued.

Also, is that the black canvas micarta? Looks really gray, but maybe that's typical until it darkens with use. (I think my noob is showing, sorry about that )

Still anxiously awaiting mine to come in. Paid earlier this week so hopefully I'll have mine in another week or two.

Did the patterns seem way different than the normal fbm sheaths for this one?

I shoved my afbm into a standard azula fbm sheath and it was snug as a bug.
Passed the upside down, agressive shake test without no issue

The sheath is wet molded to the exact knife for a perfect fit and excellent retention. The knife is not coming out of the sheath unless you pull it out of the sheath. The unique process works extremely well.
Yes, black micarta handle which feels wonderful and grips really well.
Great knife

Same pattern as the FBM knife but molded to the Anorexic FBM knife for a perfect fit.
The FBM and the AFBM seemed similar and have yet to put the calipers on them to compare the difference.

Any more of the new green micarta out there for me to drool over?

Took Garth to his word and took dish soap to the scales. Here is the result.

Nice, so it's not as green as the picture in the grass shows?

Not after you degrease it

 

[Bill Siegle]

After a bit of anxiety yesterday due to an address flub, I got my Mistress in today!!!! I think this may be the best variation so far! It’s big but light for its size. To be sure it’s no wimp either! Great job Busse crew!!!!!

Degreased

WD40 added back

 

[TENTEX]

Pics above are not perfect. I WD40’ed the right side but got too generous. Had to scrub opposite side with dish soap. So that’s why they are not consistent. But as you can see it keep the darker green coloring.
