So far I am leaning toward the S5, but the Wardog has it over thickness AND ease of sharpening while still holding a good edge.

Right now my S5 lives in a short Combat Master sheath along with a ferro rod/striker and a sharpening rod with a small capsule of Dog Tired built CBPJ tinder.

Oh and I might add that this an “if you have on pants you have on your knife” blade. A chopper will be lashed to the pack.
