Who has the most Mistresses?

I'm down to only 9. The black/green linen CG FBM pictured here is now in the hands of another HOG.

However, I do have a second FBM LE that is still mint.

just one. It's like an only child, gets lots of attention, and pictures taken.

Missing from the pic are a NMFBM and another :foot: BM-E



If I can count Basics 9 into the mix ;)

Jimmy, what's the story on the BM-E that has the bolo shape? I know I've seen it before, but I've wondered if the blade shape is from use/sharpening.
 
They sould have released more of the 2007 SE. That seems to have been the best bargain. I'd track one down now but the price..... Any idea how much it weighs in comparison to a CG FBM?
 
Bare handed at the moment (just sold me FBMLE) but have one on the way for New Years Eve.:D

Combat Grade Aftershock Bolo. :D

My primary 'big' knife :thumbup:
 
It seems that I have eleven FBMs: one CGFBM, six FFFBMs, one 2007 SE FBM, one LEFBM, and two NMFBMLEs.
 
The most? Someone you've never heard of. :)

Cobalt had an awesome amount, but his recent move put him in a 'transferring' mood. He still has some amazing BMs, however. :thumbup:

I've got in the vicinity of 20, some new and some old. They make me happy. :)
 
I have a couple dozen in all, but I’m sure that’s far from serious collector status.

Below are pics. Multiples include:

15 NMFBMs: 3 LE’s, 3 black micarta/UG, 5 black mic/Sage, 2 black mic/black, 2 black G10/UG;

Second Pic: 1 FBM Proto; 1 satin SHBM user; 1 SHBM Jungle Assault; 3 MOFBM; 2 FBMLE; 1 stripped FFBM user for 9 total plus the 15 NMFBM’s = 24.

NMFBM Personal Observation and self-serving plug:

I bought a bunch of these to give as gifts because the design is the closest in my mind of anything I’ve seen to the perfect heavy machete. I have given a couple to my brothers, but after having some time to use one I’ve come to realize that this is not a knife for the uninitiated, especially when it comes to chopping. Now I know never to take serious full-house chopping swings with an NMFBM without a thong for control, for example. The inertia of this blade is way too dangerous, otherwise, and still commands the focus and respect that comes only with experience. Bottom line, if any of you experienced hogs missed your opportunity to own this most powerful of all Busse’s, shoot me a PM or email and I’ll try to fix you up at my cost for as long as my "extras" last.

What's the knife third from the right, satin finish with dark scales?

I think I'm going 'mental.'

I've got about 30 BMs, counting the NMFBMs. Can't imagine why those dropped from my mind ... they are, well, unbelievably substantial. I certainly echo Will's comments. USE A LANYARD and BE CAREFUL, PLEASE.

Like Will, the NMFBMs will slowly dwindle over time for various purposes, but I'll always keep at least two.
 
I no longer have many. I am at about 20 total. But at the beginning of last year(2007), I had 29 SHBM's, 20 BM-E's, and about 38 FBM's, 3 Basic 9's.

Just way too many. I am down to bare bones now.
