I've always liked the AD- figured it was a good, handy small knife. Just got an all black MP and am impressed with it. It's a little tank! I was a day away from pulling the trigger on a Swamp RS, but when I saw the MP's popping up, I realized my favorite blades in the last year have been Dan's 154cm with mudders. I'm figuring the MP and AD are really close...except in price! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />:)

You have a Muppy,you don't need the AD,fugetaboudit<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
Actually,I,ve always wanted an AD too.
Had a Game Warden,didn't like it,traded it.
Had a High Street,loved it,but traded it too.
Have you checked out the High Street?
They feel good in hand & the thumb ramp is great for choking up.
An AD is still on my list & so is the RS.
I'll probably get the RS first just because of the price difference.
But you can't beat the Yards 154CM.

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

Here's some mudder love. Don't know the specs, but feels as hefty as the Muk. It's off today for a little Horn Dog- 3rd world grind shop love! Great blade, but Lord, it came dull! No AD for me! No need for it now! ![[Linked Image from i432.photobucket.com]](http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/richneal68/IMG_3279-1.jpg)

Never had a AD, held them though. The MPLE I have is a lot more comfortable.

I like ADs, but mainly went for BADs. Honestly though, there's probably not much that the MP wouldn't do just as well as a BAD at, and for a lot less money. I believe an AD would out-pry a MP (they're stout), but the MP should out-slice it (and be lighter to carry).
For the sake of those going to Blade, I hope Dan has some more MP CGs in the works -- My opinion is that they're the front-runner for Bussekin's "bang for the buck" prize. DM CGs are also a strong contender, but I'll go with the mudder handle.

You can't beat the mudder handle IMHO. Yes that MPCG price is hard to beat.

I never could quite warm up to the AD, although I do have one for patterning. I too much prefer the MP and those awesome Mudder handles! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
