I can't wait for my custom Rainwalker leather sheath for my DFLE especially after seeing DMelones.
I had a heck of a time deciding on a companion blade for the DFLE. You need something for eating and other small chores. I considered the Swarden ,Mule ,Strider ED,SS4(the SS4 and DFLE look great together especially as my SS4 is satin) Chinook3 and even a Buck Hartsook which I don't even have yet.
I finally decided on the Chris Reeve Inyoni which I got from a beloved fellow forum member.
I decided the companion needed to be stainless because I plan to do a lot of cooking and food prep. I used a carbon Mora to put sour cream on a fajitas and got one heck of a stain. The SS4 was a serious contender. I especially liked how they were the top of the Scrapyard line in big and small blades. The SS4 was a little big especially the handle.
The Inyoni is a great little knife but what really clinched it was it comes with a fantastic leather sheath. It may need some darkening to match the DFLE sheath but it will strap to it without adding much width.
I think you can do better than a Swiss army knife for a companion for the DFLE Horndog? How about one of those little Barkies or even a Culty?
I admit I don't get the SAK thing? Why do people like those crappy knives with some crappy tools? INOX is awful steel. I bet if they were made in China to exactly the same quality no one would like them? One thing I do like about most SAK's is the knives however crappy at least have decent geometry and can actually cut.
