Who has the most Mistresses?

as soon as jerry makes an 18" long standard machete-type blade in 3/16" or 1/4" thick infi, putting the nmfbm in the middle, i'll be right there with you on that line of thinking pard. :d

Will, very true. If you remember Ross Seifried, he was a big bore proponent. I am as well. Here is the issue. KE is advantageous to lighter faster items. Momentum Favors slow and heavy. The truth is that like with anything else you need to be somewhere in the middle. . If we take this to rifles for example, you have some saying that the 6mm, 7mm are perfect, and you have the opposite side saying that 375, 416 are perfect. But what round is a round that can effectively deal with both ends of the spectrum? The .338. It is about perfect. It can take the biggest game with proper bullets and can take the smallest game without killing you. It is nearly ideal.

Same goes for blades. an SFNO, ASH and that size blade are what some swear by. Then you have the RTAK, FFBM and larger blades others swear by. Reality is that the 14" to 15" oal knife tends to be able to handle both ends of the spectrum quite nicely. Can it chop as well as an NMFBM, no, but it can do fine point work and small cutting chores that the others can't.

Another example is fighters. Small fighters tend to be more fun to watch and are lightning fast but lack the power. Big fighters tend to have power but are very slow. Middle to welter weight seems to be where the best are.

Cyclists, same story. The smallest can climb but fail at the flat terrain. The really big ones are fast on flat, but fail at climbing, the middle sizes, like Lance, Lemond, Contador and many more can do it all really well.

And on we go. The best hog catching dogs are in the 70 to 110 lb range. To small, not enough power and too big and they cannot get out of the hogs way.

And one last example. At the Busse shop you have Jerry who lumbers around saying, hey what's going on here, and he seems to miss out on all the happenings. Then you have the opposite side, Amy. She buzzes around like a humming bird, so fast, that most do not see or hear her and most of what she says goes unnoticed as well. Then you have Garth, right in the middle, he moves around at the right pace and can get everything done in time, while the other two are producing CO.

So in the middle is always the best place to be. :thumbup:

It's the Goldie Locks principle ! ;)




I liked your other analogy, I'm on the Tony G end of the spectrum, I can move more wood, longer with a BM-E than with a CGFBM, don't have enough time with a SH to comment.

So for example you take TONY with an FFBM, and you take D.Brown with the same knife. Brown will have so much more mass in his swing that the knife has no choice but to hit harder. :D

This is why I could hit a golf ball only about 275 yards.:grumpy:
 
I don't have the most I'm sure but I've got one or two lying about. I've used the FBM more than any other Busse I own.

Damm straight, they fall over dead when they see me coming.

I keep telling my christmas tree it's next. Maybe the needles all over the ground are its way of crapping itself.

We'll be needing a part deux of last year's chop up your christmas tree thread.

I sort of remember an SHBM of some sort for just under a grand on the exchange, just keep looking.

That might be the one I scored back in January for $850. It had been one of Cobalt's originally, so I throw it at a tree occasionally to keep it in practice.
