There are plenty of fantastic 4-5" knives from the kin around. There is only one knife that is the DFLE. Those who have them know that there is no substitute. Perfect match of the right steel, right grip, right grind.

Not sure the S5LE is functionally different than the CG. DFLE is definintely a different and superior (IMHO) knife to the DFCG. If I didn't have a S5LE, I'd grab a S5CG, or an RMD, or a DMLE, or a YKCG (very under-rated). If I didn't have a DFLE, I'd weep.
