Today, I brought it out with my S5 and my best bushcrafter, my Fiddleback Forge Ladyfinger. All I did was plop myself down for awhile and process some green wood to see how they felt together. After 45 minutes of fuzz sticks, stakes and notches I continue to be real impressed by the War Dog. The Ladyfinger is just a small step ahead as a woods knife and that says a lot! The WD is a few steps up on the S5 except for doing some light chopping- figure the extra weight up front does the trick. The S5 is still a great allrounder though. These are 3 really nice knives! Dan did a great job with the WD.
