Dogfather or Bushwacker Mistress...

On a serious note, see if you can bag a proxy for knob creek and score a DF...that will be a cheap way of checking it out...probably make a keeper out of at that price!

My experience with a dogfather was it chopped well and was extremely comfortable. What I also noticed is with the fairly robust convex edge I put on my friends DF it popped hair like crazy, but after a little chopping and batoning, that all ended. It continued to chop pretty well even as the knife dulled, but by the very end of the marathon session the entire blade would barely cut my skin if i sawed at it besides the area closest to the choil. Not a single chip or ding, VERY tough steel, but the edge didn't hold up nearly as well as INFI does. It's definitely tough steel though, and if SY releases another run of them or another chopper I'd buy one at factory prices for sure.

You noticed that about INFI huh? :D

It seems to hold an edge forever, even after hard chopping and battoning. :eek:
 
They are both good but if choosing I would say the BWM .... it is a suprisingly weight forward balance for the thinner stock used and if you can chop all that wood with a FBM LE then the grips on the BWM will still be as comfortable or even more so .... and you can sand them to your preference .... so the advantages of the Res C are diluted somewhat when compared to the advantages of Infi over SR77 .... "comfortable works for both" .... but Infi is a few notches higher than SR77 .... and with the muscle you can put behind either of them they will both chop whatever you want ....:D

I think in some cases it sharpens itself. I had an NMFBMLE that took down a small hardwood at about 7" and when I was done, I swear it was sharper than when I began.

Wish I didn't get rid of that one :grumpy:

Seems like most really regret Selling their NMFBM's, I know mine will be the last to go if I ever had to sell all of my collection. ;)

I don't! :p

it's a wonderful knife, but if your trimming down the herd to the bare minimum it exists between a series of equally awesome knives. everytime I think "man... should I try for another nmfbm?" I pick up the kz and tank buster, and my desire's assuaged.

I have plenty of Khurkies. ;) :D
 
Does anyone have a green blade with tan micarta handle? I'd like to see that color combo, as well as black micarta with a green blade.
 
I just bought a new black on black one from the exchange with a steelnut dropleg. Couldn't beat the price, especially since I was going to end up with the exact same set up.

Looking forward to it.
 
I beg to differ. I rarely use my knives for chopping large chunks of wood as (much much cheaper) axes are far better suited for that job. I find my Dogfather an exceptionally fine cutter for such a large blade, damn easy to handle and easy to sharpen. It holds its edge just as fine as my VG-10 blades. It's no INFO, sure, but at its price range, it is among the best.
 
The dog father is a great knife, but I would get a Bush wacker!!!
