Here it is while it's still pretty. That's a new David Farmer along for the walk.

Obligatory fuzz sticks...the War Dog gets the nod here...

Checking out the tips...generally they are a wash, but I'm reminded how nice the mudders are...

Lets make big wood into smaller wood...thought the 411 batonned better and might have chopped the finger sized stuff better as well- I think due to the mudders again.

With these notches it was no contest, the War Dog was vastly superior and easier to manage.

Pile 'o' stuff with my favorite chopper, the lovely Battle Rat.

So what does this tell me? Another great, tough, performance to price knife from Dan! I had started off fishing and used the 411 to dig and cut myself a digging stick and I remember thinking "It's a brute of a small knife and will do whatever I ask."

With me having sold off a lot my knives to get my firearms, I've missed my Howling Rat and think the 411 will take care of that little hole in my heart! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'll check it out in the kitchen and see what i think. This was the factory edge by the way. The War Dog is screaming sharp and has the 'edge' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> there.

Nice one Dan!
