I have my S5LE in my "bum bag" which I use on short runs and walks...I keep it and a gortex bivi bag in there incase I broke an ankle or whatever and needed to sit and wait for help...Heather cut for a kip mat works well as insulation from the ground...whistle/torch/first aid kit etc...

Longer walks I carry a Rucksack with better equipment to stay out...the Bumb Bag though works well enough and is light enough to carry when fell running.

So the S5LE gets carried a lot...

My DFLE suffers from it's Infi big brother...my NMFBM...this claims the Lion's share of chopping work in my garden or going in my Bergan when off with the Army...the main thing with the NMFBM is it fit's in an "issue" Golok sheath and never gets "noticed" for what it is...plus it is just that bit more effective. My Ghetto Satin/worn off D/C finish has little "envious" looks...I just say it is a "cheapo" machete if asked which holds an edge better than the Golok...easily believed when you see some of the other guys Goloks LOL...sharpening is still a black art to most Soldiers....this saves it getting pinched or reported as "the wrong image" type of kit...and you grow attached to something which simply works so well. To be fair those two knives are all I really need.

Right now I am going through a "minimalist" phase...have been for a while...I think I just have too much money tied up in kit which is'nt getting used...but what does get picked up get's used a fair bit. The S5LE though is a great knife and will at least enable me to say I prize a SY knife over all other Busse comparables...and I do love the DFLE...it's just that my NMFBM has become my "work horse"...BUT ...so has the S5LE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> It is a wonderful little knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
