The DFLE is up there with the Basic 9 and the BWM LE for me ... the three "lighter" mistress sized knives that I like the best ... I had the chance to buy a CGFBM at knob creek and went for a FBM Satin Flat Grind LE shaped blade ... and a Desert DF Flat Grind LE shaped blade ... the feel and balance on these were superior to me ... few and far between infact are the Busse's I would rank in front of a DFLE ... it is one of the best blades out there ...regardless of SR77 not being Infi ... if it were Infi I would rank it as high as a ASM Grind SHBM with slotted bolts ... my favourite mistress of all ... it is certainly up with the BWM LE ... a much more expensive knife ... and IMO higher than the BWM CG for "balance and feel" ... use wise I need some time before I will know ...

The DFCG's I had felt a bit too blade heavy for me ... just a personal thing ...I would take a FBMCG over a DFCG ... they balance better IMO ...

One further thing ... I paid $300 for my DFLE on the exchange years ago now ... best $300 I ever spent ... it is the quality of the knife that counts ... not the mark up IMO ... at the price I paid I got a great knife for the money ... you will pay a lot more to better it ...
