RS, I appreciate the DMCG, and many other designs as well. I was only teasing you a little that's all; that's why I put the smiley face after it, so you would know it was in good humour.

On a serious note, I agree the DMCG is a good knife. As a fellow soldier that has served my country overseas on three tours, and looking at a fourth in the near future, I can appreciate the need for a knife you can rely on. The DMCG is a very good blade for those of us who need a knife that we can trust not to break when we're out in the middle of nowhere. It's essentially a prybar with an edge, and it's good at it.

However, I use a knife for much more than just my job as a soldier. I hunt, I fish, I do chores in my yard, I camp.... I could go on and on, but you get the point. I find certain blade designs are better for certain jobs.

I appreciate a nice Muela, Cold Steel, Himalayan Import, or Spyderco, and of course the various designs offered by the three Busse companies. Variety is the spice of life, and knives are a pleasant "spice" to enjoy; just ask fellow dogs like HornDog and Klink.

I'm not saying to stop praising the DMCG, just to maybe try something different every once in a while. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
