Great to see this again. It inspired me to pick up the Schrade (stolen from truck), the NMSFNO and a generation 1 Ratweiler. Classic keepers for sure.

I had a nmsfno, but tight finances made me unwilling to try it out. I wish I had been able to keep ít. Being physically unable to work, with large medical bills and a new child made justifying keeping it difficult. Beautifully finished knife with a great handle, wish I still had it. 2nd market prices on them are painful.

Very nice review. Well thought out. Now if you only had a scrapyard hudson bay knife made out of 3/16 154CM with a 8 inch blade to test.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ahh....those were the days. Before I had a life. I can no longer afford to buy every new chopper or survival knife that comes along. I have more knives than you can believe. But it was fun.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Haven't seen you on the forum much lately Vic, busy?
No new buys? Was wondering if you got a War Dog- would love to see it compared with a RMD and other good blades in that range....

The War Dog looks great to me. Bigger handle, useful blade profile. I have been busy lately, mostly for the better. Losing some weight. I have to lose wt before my hot looking bride gets her new contact lense prescription and realizes that she married a fat old man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
I'll do some comparisons this Fall, but I haven't bought any new blades lately.

Eh, she married a good man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Glad things are well. A few times over the last couple weeks I thought about posting a "Where is Vic?" thread.
The War Dog is a very cool knife in my mind. I say worth selling 1-2 unloved blades to pick one up imo. Only knife in a good while that has me tempted for a 2nd!

What a great thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
It's been very interesting reading your take on the various brands/variations of knives in the large knife categories.
I have always favored the Chopweiler, SFNO and another is the Satin Battle Rat, a big knife that feels so well balanced that it seems to be half it's weight when in the hand.
My latest favorite is the Skinny ASH, I just love that knife.
