There are some different variations of the DM out there, the most common ones out there are the 3 from the here: http://scrapyardknives.com/knives.htm

The one I own is the original DMCG. It has res-c handles left over from the old Busse Basic line. It also sports a saber grind and is the thickets of the DMs.


Here's some comparison of the DMCG and DMDC. SY had a limited run at knob creek 08' and the DMDC was given some different color coatings, but spec wise, it's the same as the DC.




Here's a DMCG that's been "Banned"



The DMCG was my first SY and I love it. It feels great in the hand and can get scary sharp.

awesome yeah i think ill get one for a second knife cause i do some bike tours and backpacking

so im looking into a different knife for the time being

but thanks a ton for the info

i like the DMCG

thats the top one of the DMCG and DMDC right?

The original DMCG is noticeably heavier then the DMDC, just something to keep in mind for bike tours and backpacking.

oh alright thanks

so what knife did you get?

Yes.

For Busse kin knives, almost everything with a coating is considered a CG, so technically that DMDC is a DMCG, but I called it a DMDC because it has specs just like one. The coated DMDC (or "DMCG") was a very limited run at Knob Creek 08', so I doubt you'd see it for sale. Does that make sense? haha.

Oh yeah! And it's only taken me a little less than 2 1/2 years! I think I joined shortly before the Dog Father was released. I guess I'm just not as "chatty" as some!

Oh, and Kiba, I'll second that the original DMCG is noticeably heavier than the DMDC. The two knives feel completely different in the hand! (Not necessarily a bad thing)

I have the original mutt and it is a tank. I'll keep mine because I like a [censored] near indestructible knife with a short a$$ blade. Wouldn't buy another one but it is a niche knife. I also have a yard guard and it is a much better knife imo for general hunting or bushcraft. My YG has a rainwalker sheath (search I stole it from horndog if you want to see pic's) The YG and rainwalker sheath are a great combination

I don't want to run the DM's down too much, if you do a lot of prying and battoning then they work great. If you are looking for a knife to do other stuff as well then I'd recommend the SRKW Ratmandu instead !!!

I have an original CGDM. It is one heck of a tough knife, bulletproof. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have a couple of them and love them, great little knives!!!
