You can make a knife that thick slice well especially if it has a high flat grind.
All it needs is a Horn Dog style edge like Brian Vic and I put on our YKLE's.
The DFLE should be able to get even sharper than the YKLE because of the wider blade and therefore higher grind. I can't wait to get my hands on the DFLE. With a nice thin edge it should be like a comp bowie.

I like to think of buying scrappers as moving money from my bank account to another that I can play with. I needed to cash in my original DFCG when I found a FS Dagger I needed. I actually made a 100$ on it and now I get a satin version which I am starting to like better.
