At those prices I would have grabbed the BDLEs. They are a knife you will actually USE. If you look at the whole series of mudders in 154- and now the S 5s in 101- they are simply awesome. The glamorous big [censored] blades are OK and the pretty stuff is cool- but the BDLE is in a league all by itself like the Muk. You will also get attached to your MPLE. 154 in that size of blade is fantastic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
