They may already have another release in the pipeline. I don't know. But after a couple months, once production gets going, we may see plenty of new scrappers. I hope one is a 7.5" chopper. Make it just like the DF with a 7.5" blade.
Vic - that's what Swamp Rat did - just shortened up the Battle Rat and called it the Camp Tramp! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Worked pretty darned well too!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Yea, leave the thick blade, saber grind and all. Just shorten it. The S7 prototype I handled at Blade last year was light and fast, like the S6. But 6.5" is just fine for a combat/utility knife, so why not make a shorter chopper camp knife? I really don't care if it is a clip point or a ratweiler style, like knifeguy's idea. Just bring it.
