I've got a CGDF and I wouldn't mind getting a couple more. On the other hand, I want to see the new designs that SY comes out with instead of just a re-production of past models, even though the DF was, er, IS a heck of a blade!!!

My problem with the DF is how many of them are around that aren't being used. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
My ears were burning.

Heh. That's alright, I have strange views on a lot of subjects. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, tanker gray and bama clay definitely appeal to me! Not sure if I'd want another saber grind or full flat grind, though. It's funny, but this time last year was when everyone was going crazy over the DFLE. Thank goodness I got one of those! I think it's been mentioned before, but I consider the DF the poor man's Battle Mistress. Anyway, it's clear that a lot of people love this knife!
I picked up a tank gray DF and DM from Paul and I really like them. Now- Jeff made really nice pants for the DM in gray Kydex. These are sweet. He does great work and I am really blown away at how well the steel fits into the sheath. I am looking for my camera to send pics to Jeff and will try to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> post them for you guys.

The DF have the same length blade as the FBM, 10".

[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]

Unless your talking about the NMFBM, which I forget length of, but it's longer then 10" for sure. The DFCG already chops extremely well (with good edge geometry), an extra 2" won't make a huge difference (according to tests between all the different FBMs and the NMFBM). I'd much rather have a Scrap Yard Sword or Khukuri. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, here are my DF's

[Linked Image from i343.photobucket.com]

The top one is the "heavyweight" black crinkle coat DFCG...an older knife bought off the exchange and slightly heavier and thicker than the newer Tank Grey DFCG which I got from the Creek.

Then there is my DFLE pictured with a DMDC

and finally a DFLE Sand Coating with a matching YKCG

[Linked Image from i343.photobucket.com]

I am presntly going through some re-assessment of whether I want to be a collector....my thoughts are to downsize and be a simple "user"...the Tan DFLE works best for me...followed by my Satin DFLE which would need to be D/C if I were to use it for a Military role and that "grips" me...taking a Satin finish down to D/C...for a black blade I do have a Basic 9...so I might well let some of these go... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />...but what to keep? I know I will keep the Tan DFLE ....and probably let the two DFCG's go...the Satin DFLE has me wanting to keep it on the one hand and thinking would I be stupid to D/C it on the other...
what do you all think? I will probably keep it and D/C it...that was my intention at the outset when I got it.
