Scrapyard Dog Father test

[bld522]

If you scratched your [Dog Father] up, how big of a loss will you take when you resell it?

Zero. In fact, I could beat up my Dog Father and still sell it for more than I paid for it. Why, you ask? Because, to paraphrase the movie "300" . . .

THIS IS BUSSE!!!

I see stuff like this and I liken it to the Bugatti and the Corvette. Both are pretty good cars, and yes the Bugatti does have a higher top speed and price tag....but is it REALLY about performance?

I suggest that there are a LOT more guys out there who are really enjoying their Junglases, and VERY VERY VERY few people experiencing any significant limitations with it. I have yet to see one broken without the help of a long pipe (how often do you guys bust out the pipes when you are using a chopper?)

Do you want to have the VERY BEST?

Will you be able to bring yourself to abuse it in a manner that will exploit the areas beyond where the Junglas would fail?

These are matters that each of us probably needs answer personally....and there is no wrong answer. Personally having performance in reserve is important, but having a knife that can bend 170 degrees without failure is just as good as one that bends 180 (for me...because I am not afraid to admit that my arms are not strong enough to bend it even 5 degrees! Chopping through 5 cinder blocks is great...but will it make it through one?...because that is one more than I will ever chop!

Is it nice to own the best? Heck yeah. But as soon as someone claims they made one better, are you going to be happy? If you scratched yours up, how big of a loss will you take when you resell it? If you do not scratch it up, are you going to be as happy as if you bought a cheaper blade that you try (but fail) to break?

I will add that you will rarely be able to own the VERY BEST because it is a moving target...even the Bugatti got a little more boost this year in spite of the fact that there are seem to be no public roads that testers can find to experience the increase in top speed (legally or otherwise)

Alas, this is BladeForums...so the solid recommendation is to buy both

Interesting comparison of the Vette to the Bugatti. (Junglas to Dog Father)
JMHO, but Dollar for Dollar, the new ZR1 Vette is one of the best production
cars in the class. For $100 grand you can spank a lot of $300 - $400 grand cars.

But you can't beat an ATOM for the best dollar for dollar performance.

Anyway - If anyone has a Dog Father for sale, let me know.
