I went with the Bravo 2 this time. I have no doubts that with the way Bark River convex their edges it would out cut the SOD quite easily and seeing as how my pure chopping needs are covered by my Chopweiler I would find more use with the Bravo 2.
Also the SOD is a great looking knife but even many customs fail to stand toe to toe in the looks department when layed at the side of a Barkie !!!
