never handled a MOD but i dont think it would change my opinion.

without a question of a doubt i would say that my absolute favorite DM is the CGDM

i love that knife.its actually one of my favorite knives period and its really the only DM i like.i sold my DMLE and DCDM.

they are great knives but to me they are just yardkeepers or HRLM with a choil and i dont like choils.

so why do i like the CGDM??????........its a fatty!!!!!........280-.285 baby,yeah!
