GS, my Wardog HACK has the SPINE the same thickness, but then it starts tapering down and will be a GREAT slicer (Even though mine has never been used) and all around Bush blade. And with the Busse Warranty, as Andy the Aussie would say, "No worries". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Now my REGULAR Wardog is a lot more robust. I would use my HACK if I hadn't already messed with my regular wardog though, so the HACK remains pristine.
