Thanks man - you should just give in and get one!!

I should have added the Ontario RAT5 to the mix as well. Its probably the most comfortable for me in the grip department (just because the DM has such a short grip), very well suited for cutting, but probably won't have near the lateral strength that the RD4 and DM have. I'm really fond of those 3 knives though - its going to be painful deciding with "pair" to take to the woods next time. DF/DM, RD9/RD4, RTAKII/RAT5 - luckily I don't have a little INFI companion for the CGFBM yet - but I'm sure I will eventually! Life is full of too many decisions...
