I need at least one of these so bad.

Don't we all!

[quote]I ordered a black WD, but after seeing this, I am going to have to get a tan one as well (next paycheck maybe)!I almost like the tan more than the black after seeing these pictures.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> My thinking also.I gotta have a tan too!
The tan looks great with the satin finish.
Nice that you thought about other knives when you designed the new handle Dan.
Can't wait to see whats next for these handles.
And I can't wait to get a War Dog in hand.

Dan you have to stop this I'm going to get in so much trouble when I buy a second one! She is going to kick my butt!!! I MUST RESIST!!!!

Thanks Dan for the pic and cut-a-way.

I sure am glad I ordered the black and tan. Seems like the right thing to do.

As to Res-C and baton/chopping I find it the best for the tasks I give it to do, where the micarta and G10 resonates the vibrations.

The tan is really nice looking.

The top pick looks like a convex grind with zero edge...looks super sharp.

I would get a second in tan but I have a dumpster mutt le coming or I would buy 2 for sure.

Hey Flux.

There is a used dogfather being sold on EBAY ending June 2nd at 2:26 Pacific time

Selller is from Canada.

Sumo, I've actually found the Res-C to be better at chopping than batoning (especally through knotty resin-filled pine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ). My Chopwieler feels a bit better than the DF when it comes to batoning. Problem is, I'm doing an unfair comparison. I really need an SOD and a Rat Mastiff (or whatever huge blade the Swamp has coming) to do a size-to-size comparison <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sooooo....if anyone wanted to throw those blades my way, I'd be happy to run some tests. (Ahem) Purely in the name of science, of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

"These small steps allow us to put a variety of blade shapes in this same handle."

This is going to get expensive. Can't wait to see the "variety"!!!

Take it out and beat it like it needs it...oh yea...take some pictures of your training session so we can see if the War Dog passes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
