Dan, I know you were collecting info and opinions during the sip and talk. If I could throw out a plea: Please make the muk--if you go forward with it--thicker than the Scrap Max blades.

While I love the design and I use the SM on every deer I process now, I find that it is so thin that the edge won't hold as well as I'd like. I know it's everything is trade off--thin blade=less edge to hold--and I have no complaints about it--it's perfect for what I need--but on a muk, I'd personally prefer something in the thickness of the Swamp Warden (sorry, the only one I have sitting next to me at the moment to compare with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ). Thinner than the CG muk but thicker than the Scrap Max. Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And since you hate squirrels, I leave you with some disturbing images:









And the sequence of what happens when a squirrel is denied his knives...
