Comp finish is definitely the way to go for me. I plan to strip my MO version.

Unless you really enjoy doing the stripping work (in which case let me send you a couple ;-)), I'd say keep the MO as is and buy a CF one. A sterile MO with a camo coating may be more collectable, and if you sell it a little ways down the line, I'm sure you'll at least get your original purchase cost back.
 
Any chance of a picture of the penetrator tip? I've seen plenty in the past, just want to see what it looks like on this blade, particularly on the CF version!

I see your point, but I don't mind stripping the coatings on my knives if I plan on using them. I don't consider resale value to be important on my users and I generally don't have multiples, so buying a second DS8 isn't really an option for me.
 
I am so pumped for this. Might even sell my B8 after I get one. It's a great chopper but like I said I like the DS choil better

Jerry and Dan definitely have my number with this offering versus the B8. I like the choil better, the fact that it is saber ground and now, even better, the comp finish!

I'm in trouble with this one. I keep wavering between ordering 2 to 5 of these on Weds. This is the knife that I plan to have planted everywhere --- every vehicle, every backpack needs one.

My MO DS8 weighs 12.7 ounces, according to my digital kitchen scale.

I just weighed a B8LE on my digital postal scale and it came in at 12.7 ounces as well. I believe it to be accurate and thought it was interesting considering the .25 inch of added length, thicker stock and lack of fuller. I skipped the Mil overrun but won't skip this one with the comp finish option. IMO it is still damn hard to beat the B8LE. There have been a few deals on them on the exchange too due to people replacing them with the DS8.

Jerry, is there any way that we can get a CHOILESS version of this?

There are two ways to do this yourself. . .. . First, you're gonna need a really good soldering iron and about 2 lbs of silver solder. . . . Build a tinker's dam and fill her up! . . . Grind away the excess and Voila! . . . . You are in choiless heaven! :confused:

. . . Second, sharpen away until that edge is even with the choil. o_O

Other than that. . . uh . . . . No. Sorry bro.

Let's Drink! :cool:

Jerry :D

How about a Swedge option like on the (upcoming) A2 TGM, please? :)

How about the SFC option, like the DS6?
