SP,
Devil Dog, Bush Scrapper, Campivore, Skunk Mutt, whatever Dan wants to call it...I'm in!
Hooker,
I'd be 100% supportive of a scales or no scales option.
Randy,
I thought the dipped handle would make it "comfortable" to use. Maybe its offered in three options: painted handle, dipped handle, and scales?
SP,
The picture you posted is in the general range, but it seems to be a bit large and I'd prefer a more skeletonized handle section.
