Hey Dogs. I hope things are going good over here in the yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, I have been agonizing over the thought of selling my Dog Father. Even though it would be to fund more INFI. The DF just feels so perfect to me. So I decided that I'd give it a day or two and if no one jumped on it in the exchange on BF then it was meant ot stay here with me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That being said I decided to give it a little test on a 2x4. It still has the factory edge and coating. I was able to chop through a 2x4 in 14 chops. It shaved hair before and after. And when I say after I mean after chopping through a 2x4 4 times in a row. I think that is good.




I plan on stripping this beast and giving it a scotch-brite satin finish tomorrow. And perhaps thin the edge just a tad. I have to say, the DF is the baddest mofo I have used so far.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

after all that, is it really a blade that you want to trade up on?

I mean look at the numbers of cgfbms vs. the number of dog fathers on the exchange... That should tell you somthing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yeah, everyone I seen/read, that has sold or traded their Dogfather has regretted it big time! be one of them or
us "the proud bearers of DogFather steel!"

I came, I saw, I abused, I was defeated!

The DF will handle everything you can throw at it!

I guess I'm the exception. I sold my DF to help pay for a new hunting rifle. And I've yet to regret it. Big ole choppers like that aren't my thing at all. But I can see why so may love their DF.

I have tried a lot of great choppers and compared them to The Dog Father. The DF is one chopper that I cannot part with. It is simply the best of them all.

i'm looking forward to seeing the distruction tests on knifetest.com of the DF and the FBM.

I am with Bld522. Bang for the buck, the DF is the best blade released so far; possibly the best blade (dollar for knive weight/size) ever in history.

I haven't used my DF an awful lot (too big to carry on the hills- my Basic 7 goes instead) but when I did it was VERY good.. The forward weight and super comfy handle make using it a dream, it may not have INFI's corrosion resistance but I think overall it may well keep up with a CGFBM- but be more comfy in use!! And when you think 1 CGFBM = 2.5 DF, suddenly a DF and buying a Sentry Marine Tuff-cloth for a few quid sounds the best idea ever!

The DF may be Dan's defining work and the Yards signature knife. (But can we have tan S9's too please Dan??) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

aw daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!!!!!!

sweet video! i don't have a dog father. i still remember the day they were released. i was at the office late that night and watched as the dogs all posted their order numbers on the forum. one lame night.

Don't sell it - you'll hate yourself in the morning.

And for the rest of your life.

Just my opinion, though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
