Hmmm....I personally don't see any advantage in this over the S5LE....and I doubt in Satin it would be anywhere near as cheap...makes you realise what a cracking knife the S5LE was...especially when they came razor sharp...

My top knives I think I really already own and doubt much can interest me now...

I love my S5LE...thanks Dan...what a cracking knife...

The Basic 9 and DFLE at 16 oz is hard to beat for weight and chopping ability and comfort...

I have a mega expensive FSH Variant but I do like it as the next rung up from the Basic 9.

Then I just go to the NMFBM....or the Zilla if I am short of time...

One thing I really fancy asking the custom shop for...is whether they can offer some Res C grips for the Zilla...

Dan...if you read this...could you do some? Or provide some Res C for me to do my own? The only thing I fancy on the Zilla is more comfortable chopping than using G10 grips...

The Bushwackers don't do it for me...they are a lot heavier than the Basic 9 and the DFLE...plus I have a 12.5 inch Hossum that comes in at 17 oz's...and another which is heavier and bigger but still comes in at 19 oz's...

Anyway...there you go...for me the DFLE is a lot lighter and I reckon it will chop as well as the BWM...but maybe Vic can do a proper comparison.

It's strange is'nt it though how the Yard can make the best knives regardless of price....to be fair if you had a DFLE and a S5LE or even a simple S5...you probably don't need anything else...
