I read oh probably three years ago or longer that they aren't finely refined blades. He said this himself. He makes users, no frills users/bruisers.

Steel heart ergo. Gotcha. Thanks.

Its definitely a bruiser. I think its a good knife for the infantry soldier who could break a crowbar. Its not a knife for an aficionado.

It would be a contender I think.

For a survival knife I'm not sure I like the Ergo handle design. Its similar in concept to the Fusion (drop angle) which is a great modification to the Khurki idea for chopping, but it doesn't seem conducive to detail work.

For a single do-all survival knife I want an inline design that allow for more direct hand-eye precision.

I had originally thought about specifying a Wardog type handle,but then turned it blade up and the Muppy handle didn't seem all that bad in that grip.

I say this without having ever even held an E model so take my dribble with a grain of salt.

But I still like the Muppy, TO ME it just feels SO right. And I really like that type blade profile.

It's a NOe.

For you 7" Bowie types.

I had a B4LE with the WD style handle, and it didn't work for me. Of all of the Res-C I prefer the S6/DM/DF/SOD type and S5/411 Mudder type.
