Let me start by saying that I am not usually a collector type, and I don't keep a knife that doesn't see some work. At least not for long. I have a new SOD LE that I haven't been able to convince myself to test. Mainly because if it doesn't do things better than my S6, I am likely to sell it. I am a huge fan of the S6 and I have purchased several other knives in this size such as the Busse NOE and CGASH1. I kept them for some time but was unable to put a mark on them for the same reasons. The SODLE feels so good in the hand though and didn't cost such a forture, I am more inclined to put it to the test against the S6. However, I was wondering what others with both knives feel. How does the SOD stand up to the S6? The size may make the SOD slightly better for chopping, but anything else I'm not so sure.
