It is one of my favourite small knives. It actually punches above it's weight because it can hang with the S6's and the Camp Tramps. It is a far better knife than the DMCG in my humble opinion. It or the YKCG would be my recomend for a knife for a soldier.

I just read that the Gerber LMF2 which they designed for servicemen is 24 ounces <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> that is more than a DFCG. I believe Horn Dog mentioned his DFLE was 16 onces or 1 pound. I pitty the poor guy saddled with a knife buy a well meaning relative who paid a lot of cash and got one that weighs as much as his rifle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
