I got the Hook and love it as well!

DF is still head and shoulders above my other Scrappers - which are a couple CG Mutts, MOD, DFLE, and Hook. I don't really like the recurves as much though - but I don't dislike them either.

nice score dan
If it wasn't so rare I would carry it as an edc

Mac - I EDC'd my CG Mutt and RD4 for several months. Bruce - always wise and to the point - kind of called me out about them being on the "large side" for EDC. At the time I thought "nah - always good to have a worst-case scenario knife on me." But, now I think that he was right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I keep a Mutt or RAT5 or RD in my vehicle now, and EDC a folder (Spydie Manix or Cara Cara), SAK (Vic Soldier or Swisstool), or small fixed blade (Swamp Warden, RC3, RAT3). Usually a combination of 2-3.

It all comes down to personal preference, but mine has evolved over the past year or so. Largely due to my personal discovery of Victorinox and Spyderco.

The #7 Mod was the first non-CG SYKCO I have purchased. I am not into the LE's. LEs seem to go against the grain of the company mission statement IMO.

that is the first time I looked at the grind. sweet.

It is sweet!

for some reason, i hate carrying more tha one knife.
I'lll never do it, even though I really should, I just tthink its like making too much of a statment.

stupid nj.

Face - I felt the same way... Its not something that is easy to explain to the "average person." Now I usually carry a large folder and a small folder, or a small fixed blade and a folder, or a SAK and a large folder. In addition to that, I usually wear my Swisstool when I go more then a few blocks from home. I can easily justify carrying a smaller and larger knife - the smaller knife only being in my pocket so that I have something "sheeple friendly" to use in public.

I may pick up a Buck Hartsook for a little keychain knife for opening packages etc. I wore my little Strider ED neck knife for a while and it worked great until the sheath let go in line at the grocery store and the knife fell out of my shirt and clattered to the floor. The Swarden makes a great fixed EDC. I wore a SS4 for a while but it is a bit big especially the handle.

I itend to EDC my DFLE so I am going to need a little companion knife for chores to small fr the DF and also to not scare the crap out of the sheeple.

Sharpening the serrations shouldn't be too much of a chore. Sal explains how to do it in the Sharpmaker instructional video. Basically, you sharpen the 'back' side of the serrations, very lightly.
