Top 10 or 20 would be easier... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I wouldn't have to leave so many out... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
1. Busse Bad Warden 2. Busse FSH SE 3. Dog Father 4. LM Surge 5. SAK Champion
I feel so bad, I left so many out... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I should list a second & third string. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I just looked up the Pepper Shaker - I'd love to get my hands on one of those! Sounds like they're pretty rare - cool looking knife! And they were all ground BY Jerry!

Tough question but I would guess I'd have to pick my most carried or most used.... My DM ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/MtWork040.jpg) My MOD 4 ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/JohnDean087.jpg) My NRA Snody ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/SaanichInlet007.jpg) My Wolf Pup ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/Johndean003.jpg) And even though I'm not really a folder guy I do always carry my Swiss Champ ![[Linked Image from i129.photobucket.com]](http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p236/denaleeguy/SaanichInlet091.jpg)

That Wolf Pup looks solid - that'd be something I would like to get my hands on. I don't own any Tops knives yet (and I live in Montana where they're made!)
Great pics, and great choices!

My next pick is the Dumpster Mutt.
It's a unique combination of big knife and small knife. It's 5/16th sabre ground geometry is obviously not the most efficient, but its acute, sharp edge makes it very effective at cutting soft materials, and very effective for shallow cutting. And while it may not be the best cutter in other situations, it can still handle it, when necessary, albeit with lesser efficiency. (Though the small size and comfortable grip help bring back some of the cutting efficiency lost to the fat geometry.) Meanwhile, it is actually capable of some real chopping, and is tough enough for any splitting and prying tasks you can throw at it.
When you want to pare the size and weight of the knife you're carrying for an outdoor adventure as much as possible, but still want to be adequately prepared for anything, the DM has a remarkably broad scope of use in a remarkably small package.

I like the new satin flat grind Dumpster Mutt. I might get one if the price is right and they are available soon.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Evolute - I agree.
Vic - I may, someday, with your permission, send you one of my Mutts for the 3rd World GS treatment!

I'm talkin', the "full treatment!" Satin and zero edge, like you do!
