Help me out Hogs. It's the shooting season, and I'm trying to not buy any/many knives. All my $ is going to ammo match fees, and trying to find the "right" 45 ACP pistol and pump shotgun combo. Got the 308 covered. Anyway, I've owned and used a bunch of INIF and INFIkin. My main concern is the thickness. I had a 5/16 FBM back in the day and it felt a bit heavy and like it wanted to fly out of my hand when chopping and did almost get away once (saved by a lanyard, but it drew blood). Have owned 5/16 NMFBM's, but didn't use 'em and they also felt a bit too blade heavy. Like the 1311, but wanted a wider blade, with a choil, and a slightly longer handle. I love, love the feel of a CGFBM with fusion handles and CBT and I love my Battle Rat. I've been considering a .25 WTF, or one of the BG FBM's. Would have kept the MOAB in my avatar that I used a good bit if it was thinner (.40). Well, that and I was in a different tax bracket (LOL). May save up some day and hunt down a .36 MOAB. Given all that, I'm considering this one as I love the look and all that it has going for it, except that it's 5/16. I'm hoping that the recurve and the CBT will make it feel light and lively. Do you think this one will feel more like a fighter or a chopper? Best of both? $600 is a lot to me for a blade, alot. That's a buttload of ammo or another 45 pistol...
And lucky me has often lost money on used INFI and Bussekin. I took a bath when I sold the blade in my avatar. If the Hog who bought is out there and wants to sell it back to me for what they paid, hit me up. I do miss it, but money was tight and it had to go.
