What's Your Favorite

Overall Favorite: CG BATAC
EDC: Meaner Street
Chopper: Honestly, cannot say...I'm pretty sure my CGFBM would be a winner there (didn't use her yet), but I love the feeling of my Yard Guard (recurve, very comfy handle).
 
Either...

Or the Proto...

My AD I think. Its a tuff call, I really love my SFNO and my FBM. But I use my AD so much, its gotten alot of use and the micarta is getting a nice color from me usin it.

As for ones I do not own, SH-E, and mojo.
 
I loooove all my Busse's, but I think my FFBM is still my favorite. I fall asleep with my hand on its handle more often than not. One arm around the wife, the other holding the mistress (I hide it under the blanket in its sheath). If you fall asleep holding something, chances are you love it.

Is it the picture or is the Proto Handle longer than the LE handle. It looks to be about 1/2 inch or more longer than the LE?

Just picture perspective... they are both 5.85" from the tip of the micarta at the pommel to the edge of the micarta at the talon hole.

But... since I got them both out, I notice something new (to me.)

The LE is actually .365" longer to the tip than the Proto. :confused: Hmmm... Thanks, Cobalt. I don't think I would have noticed that otherwise. :thumbup:


If anyone is interested, the LE Mag grips are 1.041" at the widest point and the Proto is 1.086".

Nice try... :p Others have tried too. Maybe some day, but that day is definitely not today, my brother. :D


How 'bout a little beaver instead.

so far the sjtac, ffbm (wich I lost), and the cg hogfsh have passed through my hands with 0 complaints.

I loved my basic 5 and 9, but they didn't come close to the above.

The Proto tip is slightly shorter than the LE because it is made from the LE blank. The 3/8 or so is lost when changing the tip profile to a spearpoint.

The same reason why my FABM with a drop point is about 1/4" shorter than a CGFBM.

I still can't decide ;) I like them all! OK! OK! if push comes to shove and I can only have one then it would be my one and only FABM.
