HorizonSon,

Yup!... I agree about the "price-limit"... The New Rat Mastiff (offered up by Swamp Rat) will be something like $218.95, IIRC... Having the DFLE the same priced (and especially higher) might throw SEVERAL "faithful buyers" over the fence, into the swamp and talking to Eric "The Bully" Issacson....

...Just a thought; and, a word of caution...

HorizonSon,
hmm.. very interesting, you bring up a very good point.
If Dog Father LE and Rat Mastiff were priced similar.. what would you choose?

Rat Mastiff has some neat things going for it. Really dig that unique (micarta) handle shape, SR-101 steel, plus i don't own any SwampRat choppers yet!

I didn't think of that. Maybe y'all are right. Personally, I'd take the DFLE over the Rat Mastiff. Will the Mastiff have a satin blade? I like Res C in big choppers. Micarta Handles like the Fusion Blister Maker are more for show than performance. The smooth, but not as pretty, micarta handles on the RTAK II makes more sense to me. I hope the DFLE is < $200.

I’d get the DFLE. I already have an original RM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> If I didn’t though, I’d still get the DFLE. I use my BR MUCH more than my RM. Those shocking handle vibrations are painful and numb your hand after a while. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Me either! And I figure a nice big thick blade like the DFLE is a good first choice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Usually I like coated because they’re lower maintance, but an uncoated blade chops better with less drag. And I thought the logo would look cool on a big bad blade like the DF, and ya gotta get the LE to get the logo.

As Dan has mentioned, it's taking A LOT of time to polish those blades and time is money. I don't see how it could sell for under $200. I'm guessing $220-$240, and it's a steal at that price. I'm getting one.

That's how I see it too, Rich. All American or European made knives with polished blades are getting expensive. It is the hand labor.
