Thanks fellas! I go by the same handle on BF. Spend most of my time on the Busse forum. The 1311 offer is to tempting to pass up. I do have one dog in the collection. Not sure what model, but I believe its a yardguard (about a 4" blade). Great knife and very useful around camp. I've been eying a Dogfather for a couple of years now, but this is even better!
