Beautiful pictures, as usual, pitman. The Dumpster Mutt can do a lot for its size. If I was walking (slowly) up there, I'd carry the DFLE. That's a real mountain man knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
sounds like a great blade. I'd go 7 inch blade or bigger like cgdf, but maybe that is becaus I don't have a DFLE.
I do like that size though. the RD 9 is great. I use it more often then the CGDF but I have used the CGDF for hard chopping, like my khuks.
