Great Reivew. I just used mine for 2 weeks straight. Wood, rope, thin metal and I didn't have to sharpen it once. I really put it through hell. But that is the kind of knife I need. That's why I only carry Bussekin blades. The War Dog is an awesome knife. It's my BushDog!!

Lets start with a summary...Wow! I like it!

Someone say it needs leather? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> This is a Rainwalker sheath for my S5- I've been using another one for the S5 and this fits well and maybe more style for the War Dog!

With some peers...

OK, now a little useage. Man, look at those fuzz sticks! What a slicer this is! Great control too...doing those stakes, it bites deep no problem and finer shaving as easily. The thumb falls naturally on the spine and I feel in total control. See the 1/4-1/2" branch? Chopped that easily. I really like the handle design. I need to get more used to the narrower front- I was grasping too hard at first and need to let the rear fingers do more of the work.

My only complaint was when I tested the tip with drilling. Great strength, but the butt of the handle has sharp edges...I'll use it more and likely sand it down some.

I haven't tried it on food as yet, so I'll see...

Dan, what a knife! I don't know how you made this thick sucker such a good slicer. I almost passed on th WD b/c of the thickness and am so glad I didn't. The king of my bushcraft knives is my Fiddleback and the War Dog is right there with it- Great job!

Check out who visited me! Came up on me running and checked me out for almost 10 minutes. Was so close I could see the velvet on his antlers..

Today, I brought it out with my S5 and my best bushcrafter, my Fiddleback Forge Ladyfinger. All I did was plop myself down for awhile and process some green wood to see how they felt together. After 45 minutes of fuzz sticks, stakes and notches I continue to be real impressed by the War Dog. The Ladyfinger is just a small step ahead as a woods knife and that says a lot! The WD is a few steps up on the S5 except for doing some light chopping- figure the extra weight up front does the trick. The S5 is still a great allrounder though. These are 3 really nice knives! Dan did a great job with the WD.
