You know I have been doing a lot of thinking about this. We all have our favorites, me included of course. I would like to see a Mini Tali-Whacker as I think it would make an excellent all around user/combat blade. Just shrink the blade profile down to NOTHING more than a 4.25 inch blade, tip to handle, and with the edge brought all the way back to the handle but allowing for self (field) sharpening, so that would probably necessitate a small "Choil" so you could get all the way to the handle end of the edge.

Now after all that said, I think it would be more of a combat type blade, useful for a multitude of tasks while being a master of no particular task in general.

I think that a MINI TRASH with a 4.25 inch blade and maybe 50-60% the height of the TRASH1 and a thickness of 5/32 (.1562) inch and a Full Flat Grind. Most of the folks that have an ASH/TRASH and use it know how truly handy that blade shape can be. Just imagine how much handier something like this would be. And once again with the Basic handle. I WOULD buy at least two of these very handy I think blades. How say you Dawgs.
