Well, again I apologize for not paying attention to your initial post and over-stating in my post.

I'm aware of Dozier's knives. The fact that he treats his own steel doesn't make him unique.... it might make him over-priced. If you want a $400 Dozier FB, get it, then come post how good of a price you got.

I don;t have a "collection". I have 2 nice FB's and a nice folder (plus many cheapies). I use them.

If you're a knife nut (and a sensitive one at that), why would you post in such a manner as to suggest that you just weren't sure about what you wanted to buy? Yes, I know you wanted to "hear from the forum"...... but why? If you know what's out there, why bring it up in here? Why not in the blade forums?

Again I ask..... if you're so knowledgeable about D2....then why must you have it for this new survival knife purchase?

You asked...I responded. Oh...and I apologized for not paying attention.
