I like both blades, but the Basic 4 gets more use from me. What can I say? I like em skinny. The balance of the Anorexic B4 is just so perfect, so I really have no desire to try the Magnum. What is it that makes you prefer the War Dog over the Magnum B4? +1 Sold my War Dog once the Basic 4 was announced. Only got an anorexic model...I like'em skinny too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> The War Dog was good, but was awfully thick for such a short height blade...made for a good "wedge". The Basic 4 has insane balance. Actually...I would love to see a hybrid. Same handle...cut 1" off the War Dog, and thin it out the same as my anorexic B-4, keep the short height. Sounds like a Res-C CABS, or one of the variations of the ABS series. I like the sound of that! I think I'd still prefer the B4, but who knows... I do like a knife with a belly. JYD #137
