i really like the DF and as i don't expect more production runs anytime soon I have been thinking about picking one up in the aftermarket. I want a big chopper and am looking at the DF and the RTAK II. The RTAK had a pretty good review at knifetest.com. I'm sure the DF is a much better knife, but is it worth 2x the money?
I had a RTAK II first generation (big handle). Good knife tho I bent the edge while battening it with a hammer. The RTAK II is reasonably tough it's just not designed to perform beyond all reason like the DF. In the end I sold it and several other knives and bought a Dog Father at release price.
The DF is a much better knife and yes even at 2x the price I think it's well worth every penny.
Were expecting the DFLE to be released soon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
It will cost more than the coated DF at it's release however it may cost less than a secondary market coated DF.
It might be worth waiting for just a thought.
