Like I said earlier, I would RATHER that my "There can be only one" choice was the Wardog. I LIKE that handle and the blade profile is fantastic! But I keep falling back on my youth where a blades thickness and height to an extent indicated it's strength. That is why I have indicated mine would be the S5. But the more I compare the two, I'm not sure that I shouldn't pick the Wardog.

BUT I wouldn't feel like I was behind the 8 ball with either one. Man I should have ordered a 711. That blade kind of makes me wonder about how much I will keep using my SOD (and NO, I haven't used it that much). The Regulator and Bulldog gets the dirt. The SOD mainly stays in the drawer.
