RS: I'm just saying man...
the DM has been brought back a lot and I remember some dogs were almost sick of them.
and honestly something like a DMLE or something is a LOT different than the DMCG.
and once again, (I've said it before) i would NOT call the DM (the DMCG to be more specific) versatile.
not saying it doesn't perform... but that it IS suited to prying and busting through stuff... not more general cutting tasks that other knives (or even other DM variations) can do.
now I've never used one myself, I'll be honest... but i don't need to, to know that it's not going to suit any of my needs better than a knife similar to an s5 or something.
now for you it may suit YOUR needs... whatever they may be,
but I would say you are a minority on that one.
JYD number 52.

I guess not everybody needs a sharpened pry bar with a small handle. That's not to say that you're wrong for loving your DM. It's simply to say that you're clearly in the minority in considering it to be the most versatile knife the Yard has put out. But I encourage you to keep up the good fight anyway! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I wonder if those others, who DON'T think the DM is the most versatile knife ever, have actually USED one? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'll admit, I'm mildly curious to use one, but I also use knives primarily for cutting, and so the "sharpened pry bar" category has little appeal for me to spend my hard-earned money. Might end up grabbing one at some point anyways, just so I can form my own opinion on the knife after actually, you know, using it. I can guarantee *my* DM wouldn't keep that nifty factory coating looking nice for more than a few days. I used mine one hell of a lot, if ya want a knife to batton through everything you can think of then get one but if ya want a knife to cut and slice then think twice....nearly rhymes !!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> IMO the Ratmandu is a far more versatile knife and still plenty tough !!!!

I prefer the Ratmandu as well. It cuts better. But for prying open a jammed door on a HumVee, the DM would be hard to beat in a small knife.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

You messed yours up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

The RMD is a good solid design no doubt but I do think he DMDC has a much sweeter feel in ALL hand positions. But saying that, I did have a G10 version. I felt that this model did not provide enough grip with wet hands. The micarta version would be my choice in the RMD. At the end of the day just give me a Dumpster Mutt with Res C & SR-77 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
