Hi Unsub and HD,

LOL about the kilt....I bet that FS you have is worth a pretty penny....keep it safe...

I have had the chance to absorb some of the Busse kin posts and information. I came onto this forum because of my thoughts that the SY handle material would be the best for comfort in a chopper.....that the prices were reasonable although the after market scarcity does add a premium....and that of the knives I know of ( got to admit to not having a comprehensive knowledge of them all )the one that seems to be the best for me is the Dogfather LE or CG.

I now know that the LE is lighter and slightly thinner and has a better finish than the CG model and would be the best choice save that the satin finish seems on some models pictured here to be a bit of a "glare" or "shine" giveaway for military use. I would be interested to know whether you can darken this and if so how? I don't know much about the steel used for the DFLE....how does this compare to the standard steels and also to Infi? Lastly, I saw in another post that one of the moderators "Cold One" showed some drawings for a Busse Kukri....has there been any further info on this? Or on a Bolo or Kukri from SY?

Any help on these points or on your views as to the DFLE v's DFCG would be most welcome.

I would like to make a decision soon on whether to buy another knife....perhaps after the FFBM arrives.....then once I have done this I need to get off this computer as it is easy to see how "searching" for a knife can become a compulsive addiction. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
