I think you're going to absolutely love the TGLB. It is COMFORTABLE and LIGHT for a (nearly) 8" x 1/4".

Your YKCG is one of the best offerings ever from the Yard.
My favorite Dogs are (in no particular order): SOD CG, Scrapper 5 (SR101 and INFI), Scrapper 6, 411, Yard Keeper CG, Dogfather CG.
I'd consider a guy well equipped with a YKCG, SOD and DF.
Sadly, my Yard collection only has a few SR77s at the moment. I've sold all of my Yard SR101 to buy Busse Infi.
(I do have some Rat SR101 though)..

Andy,
What exactly is a comp finish? I see a lot of talk about it, but from the pictures it looks like a factory bare blade (not satin)?

That's pretty much what it is, they just de-burr it and usually add a convex edge.

Yep, no fancy'n up, just ground, cleaned off, sharpened and sent. I REALLY like this finish, it has character but sadly there were a few who didn't understand what it was and the returns for "imperfections" made it less desireable for Jerry to continue.

Yes, they expected satin finish at comp finish prices. It only takes a few to ruin it for everybody.

(I do have some Rat SR101 though).. I think that the YKCG is a much more versatile blade then any of my other yard knives As a general rule almost all of my hunting and camping knives are in the 3 to 5 inch blade length. And 1/8 or 3/16 in thickness One thing I don't like that a lot of manufacturers do is that they shorten the handle length when they shorten the blade length On a 3" hunting or camp knife I love a full sized handle, I don't give a rat's behind about a "balanced look", I want a secure comfortable grip

A lot of knives I figure are designed by non hunters. At least for some of the larger manufacturers
