Well that's not very encouraging. I would like the MPLE, but I have a hard time convincing myself to get one. i have a Spyderco Mule to fill that blade size. Someone convince me!

I voted MPLE. The tip is much less likely to bend like the one on my BDLE. (It came that way from blade - about 1-2 degrees off in the first 1/2") I don't have any pics of the bent tip, but it straightened out very easily. It has me concerned as to what it can handle.
-Mike mine was the same way pm enroute <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Mine's the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Slightly bent tip. I wasn't real worried about it, and thought mine might be the only one. Looks like there may be a several. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

That's correct.
Just like snotpig said, about the first 3/8 or so is a degree or two to the right. That isn't really very much and to some I'm sure it's almost un-noticable.

Voted for the Mud Puppy which I hope will become my EDC; still looking at getting a Busse AD or better still a HD but the MP allows me time to be more patient in that search! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The BD adds diversity to the range of Busse kin blades and will no doubt greatly please those folk looking at having all their knives from the same family.

Mud Puppy,
It will serve as my EDC without fail. The Bird Dog is just that.
A knife for fish and foul.
The Puppy is thicker and smaller with the Mudder handles I have no doubt that it will be a instant hit and will prove to be perfect for EDC.
General all round all purpose knife VS a kitchen knife. Best served in my brides kitchen with a razors edge on it.
Good luck with your quandary. I solved it and decided on both. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I will NEVER regret that move! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Peace.
Some people just never learn.

I'd get the BDLE becuase I don't have anything like it already.
