In the bladeforums versions of these threads, folks are just posting their ideas right in the thread.
and there are a LOT of ideas!!
Here are a few of mine, for the Yard:
A BM-E style light slasher with a res-c grip. I'd like to see this made from satin differentially treated SR-101 for a sexy temper line. The drop point and thin steel, along with a full flat grind, would be hot.
A scrap ulu - res-c grip, big nasty choppin blade. This would be a permanent fixture in my kitchen.
Anorexic BDLE - make it an inch longer, and of SUPER thin steel, so it can flex and make a mean fillet knife. Mudders are a given.
Scrap Kuk - simple flat blade, saber ground with about a 1-1.5 inch wide saber grind, similar in style to the Cold Steel LTC kukri. USE THIN SR-77 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Busse has the heavy kuk market covered quite well - we need a thinner, cheaper, brush slasher.
Mega Muk - make the muk bigger, and give it a gut hook, just for fun.
I've got lots more, but that's enough for now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
