I plan on two for myself and one for Texas Tony. I REALLY like my DMLE, of which this is a clone. With the exception of the SS4, the DMLE is about as small as I like to go with a knife - any smaller is folding knife territory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Reading my mind again Mr. Klink. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Now, hang on, this might make some of you reach for your flamethrowers, but here goes.
I reckon I'll try for a couple. One will be left in the plastic for later re-sale, the other, who knows? This release isn't shivering me timbers like the Mil overrun. Alas, I missed out on that one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Not having ever had a DM before though, it's entirely possible I just don't know what I've been missing this whole time and will be thrilled to death with it.
There's another thing that's been on my noggin for some time now...
I'm just going to say it, I don't like the choil on SYKCO blades, or any other knife for that matter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> Never had a use for it myself, just seems like empty space where a bit more sharp edge could live. I suppose this is a Busse kin trademark feature though, so I'll just have to deal with my hang-up on my own. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
At least with the DF series there's plenty of blade to go around in the first place, so I don't mind so much. For a 4-5" blade I like the YK much better than the DM for it's lesser choil if nothing else.
Anyhow, best of luck to all the Dogs this afternoon.
