At first I thought a Regulator handle would be best. But now that I think about it a little more, a grip slightly smaller than the regulator size, MUDDER textured and shaped grip would be AWSOME! Talk about locking you hand onto the blade! How About it Dan, could you make us a 12-14 inch overall chopper with maybe a 4 inch curved edge? Ithink that something like that would serve a multitude of tasks rather well.
I dunno...I actually like the "texture" of the Regulator and older style handles more than the Mudders. The RES-C feels more "compressed / firm" on the Mudders...which I don't think would make as good of a chopper. This is based on feel, however, and not actual mechanical testing....it would be interesting to find out if the materials are indeed the same density.
I think a B11 style Scrapper Machete would be awesomeness. .1875 please. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Not sure I'd use an Axe...depends on design I reckon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
