I'll use all the coated blades, and collect the limited ones to pass on to future generations.

I like rugged field knives, especially big ones. Having used most of the major brands at one time or another, I've been buying mostly Ontario lately. They perform well and are inexpensive. When I heard about a Busse made knife of very tough steel with a "rubber" handle, for less than $200, I had to check it out. For extented chopping, a handle with some shock absorbtion lessens hand fatique. After putting the Dog Father through its paces the last few days, I am sold on Srap Yard Knives. I love the Respirine C handle and the easy to sharpen, tough steel. This is a well designed, well made knife of the highest quality for a fair price.
