I'm fine with 1/4"+ stock on the big knives like the DF. However, I would like to see 3/16" stock on the smaller 4-5" knives. Something else that would be great on the smaller knives would be some distal taper (thinner at the point than at the hilt). I have a Cold Steel Carbon V Master Hunter and 3/16" stock with distal taper is ideal at this knife size. I haven't seen anything from the Busse family ground this way though.
I am pretty sure the old Bog Dog from Swamp Rat with a mudder Res C handle fit the bill. I was on their site awhile ago asking them to bring it back out with a Howling Rat LM or Ratmandu handle. A mudder handle over here at the Yard would be great too though. I don't really even care what the steel is because they won't make anything that isn't strong enough for everything I do.
+1 for Scrapper Mora
+1 for THIN, DM and Yardkeeper are both too thick for me.
