Would love to own a Southard. Got the domino to though, love that to.

Here in Europé the Southard sells for 400$, Would you say it's still Worth it? :)

Not sure about him, but the Southard isn't worth anywhere near $400 IMO.

Depends on what you're buying it for.

Blade: Southard has a much longer cutting edge for the same handle length, also has the nice stonewash finish
Flipping action: Domino is a little better, feels more snappy
Feel in Hand: Domino feels a little more comfortable, I actually like the ergos of the Southard more but the rough G10 is a little much for my taste
Lockup: Domino has the steel lock bar insert, I definitely prefer the way it engages/disengages
Aesthetics: Southard is much "sexier" to me, I think the Domino kind of looks like a lumpy potato :p
Pocketability: Southard pockets better, carries a little deeper, and the clip seems to work a little bit better for me

All in all, I think the Southard is better for EDC and the Domino is better for fondling. How much did you have to pay for your Domino? I think if you went $300-$350 on the Domino and think it's worth that, then $400 for the Southard will feel worth it.

If someone gave me the choice between $400 and the Southard though, I would take the $400.

I see.

Today's EDC is this old 1st Generation Spyderco Endura I found on craigslist yesterday for $20, she is beat up and used hard but lock up is rock solid. I couldn't pass up an old hard to find piece like this.

Boker titan...:)

Yep,9blades is right. I picked it up off the exchange. I think the guy I got if from anodized the scales,I have never seen one that came blue from Boker.It is much thinner than I thought it would be which is a plus for me. It came with a nice edge and a perfect sharpening angle. It is always nice when you get a used knife that person took good care of it and has the same preference in edge profiles.
 
Been a week or so since I posted but this is what I have been carrying around for the past several days. Why do I carry the 6" bladed CS Ti-lite? I have NO idea but I am getting a kick out of opening this thing, so I say, "Why not".

Also included is my ZT0801, and 4Sevens Preon 1.
