Depends on your usage. for a Chopper, the King of the Heap is the DogFather, hands down.

For a medium size blade it's wide open. Some like the S5 (yard blade), others the Wardog (also a yard blade) or the RMD (Ratmandu, a Swamp Rat blade). Others like the Busse combat B4 or one of the other smaller blades.

Me, I like the 311 and Wardog (I don't EDC a fixed blade), but my faves are the 311 as stated, a regular production model. I also REALLY like my Muppy (Mud Puppy LE with my JYD number on it) but usually keep this more of a queen, but I DO carry and use it some.

For a medium length I like the Wardog. at .200 inch thick (flat convex ground) it sounds really thick but I've never been bothered by it.

Next up the rung the Regulator is a Site favorite ( I like the Bulldog regulator but it's a special edition so I don't use it as much).

For dedicated choppers, as stated the Dog Father from the yard. The Swamp Rat Rodent 9 (R9) is favored by a lot of folks. Myself I like my Busse combat BWM and will soon have a 911 that will probably replace the BWM as a user as the BWM is special to me because it was a gift. My Regulator and Muppy were gifts as well, but the Regulator is just so overbuilt that I don't think even a Nuke could hurt it.

So there you go, just MY thoughts, which in the overall scheme of things don't mean a lot as I don't "Get out there" like a lot of the other dogs. Just start reading what is written and you will figure out what will become YOUR favorites.
