DWRW posted some weight and other specs over on the SwampRat sub-forum on Bladeforums.

Camp Tramp......... = 14.1 ounces; .24" thick; 7.325" blade; 12.5" oal
(SY) Yard Guard.... = 16.0 ounces; .277" thick; 7.25" blade; 12.4" oal
(SY) SODCG.......... = 15.7 ounces; ??? thick; 7.5” blade; 12.5” oal
(SY) SODLE…………. = ??? ounces; .25” thick; 7.5” blade; 12.5” oal

The Yard Guard / Hook has a slightly shorter blade by 1/4". The mass is greater than that of either the Camp Tramp and the SOD and the blade is of thicker stock. Dan posted that the regulator was tested and the Saber grind was chosen as it produced a better chopping blade. The Yard Guard / Hook has the most pronounced saber grind of these knives.

For those who have the Yard Guard / Hook and either the Camp Tramp or a SOD, how do they compare as a chopping and / or all around camp / wilderness / survival knife? I had a micarta scaled mini-mojo and found it to not have the chopping ability I desired (it had magnum grips and a pronounced handle heavy balance). Although I appreciate the input of anyone wanting to give some I am most interested in what those who can do a side by side comparison have to say. Thanks.
