For me it's:
1. Butaniku
2. NMFSH
3. NMSHBM
I have a couple questions about some of the the NMSHBM handle design features. What is the purpose of the straight handle/spine? It seems like it would be less ergo as the palm is naturally cupped and a rounded handle spine would be more comfy. Although I don't have any SH Busse's, so I can't compare, just speculating. Also, what is the reason for the elongated and steep drop of the rear talon hole? Seems like that would possibly pinch the back of the hand when chopping, and/or not accommodate larger hands. However, I've seen some argue that this secures the blade when chopping or slashing, but it seems opinions are quite varied as to whether a long or elongated rear talon is favorable or unfavorable.
These two design features are suspect for me, and if I were to order this blade, I may want to request customizations from the shop (if possible/available). Because the whole bladed portion of the NMSHBM (ricasso to tip) looks awesome to me...
The new sword and NMFSH are definitely my next acquisitions though.
