Which is the best? If you had to carry a regular DF or an SOD LE, which would it be?

Go.

It really is in the hand of the beholder. Both have a good feel for a large knife. At the end of the day I lean towards the DogFather. I use it it for chopping...of course, but I have cleaned 3 deer with it and a multitude of chores that a smaller knife could have done. I will say that I also use the heck out of my SOD and a bunch of others. So listen to the Dogs they will provide good insight and guidance

My coaching, figure out what you want to do with a knife and then go about picking one...the other way works also <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow. Three deer? Did you just hack 'em in half and let the guts fall out on their own? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now why can't there just be a "Family Dog" offering--the Dogfather, Son of Dogfather and the Dumpster Mutt or Scrapper 6 as a special saver package deal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

THAT would be worth dropping some cash on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

LOL, The real reason I processed three deer is that I forgot my other knives and I keep a Dog Father at our deer hunting place. For the finer work I simply held up on or choked up on the tip portion of the knife. I will tell you that on the first deer when I needed to split the pelvis, I swung with light to medium force only to split the deer all the way through pelvis and back for about 9 inches...oops. I do not swing like that anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
