I think the FBM is at most 10% better than the Dogfather and that is in edge retention and corrosion resistance mostly. As far as impact resistance and springyness the dog is probably very close to the FBM. I like the RES C handle much better as well. Rust is not a big a deal on a coated knife.
I am really looking forward to the bowie as I don't have one and have always wanted one.

I'm using birthday money for the bowie. I had it targeted at a new fishing pole. However, that'll have to wait.

At least the Dog is cheap enough to really use... I just couldn't abuse a FBM due to cost even if I liked micarta and would buy one.

Ha ha ha, my bad, Leatherface. Sometimes, when you're low on cash, you've gotta cut corners on the smaller things... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />
