Nothing beats differentially heat treated SR101, IMO. I'll take DHT SR101 over any other material (including INFI).

You were probably just used to the much thicker blades Gary. Now Me, I would gladly give up both my Trash 1 AND CG ASH1 for a Skinny Ash. What I call overly thick blades are those that come in at more that a quarter inch thick. Even a quarter inch can be to thick in certain situations and for shorter blade lengths, at least for my likes.

OH MAN! A Mini Taliwhacker would be one of the best knives ANY of the Bussekin companies could ever come out with. AND I bet they would sell several thousand to er ah um our Big Brother.
I know that I would have to buy one or two. They would be the perfect blade for our worsening world.
PLEASE DAN, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE??????

You know, I find it hard to believe none of us before RN thought of a Mini Taliwhacker. Now that WOULD be one sweet blade. It could serve as an all around "Survival" blade, capable of accomplishing almost any task you brought before it. AND it would make a mean SD blade as well. It just might prove (IF no more than a 4.5 inch blade length, preferably 4.0). Any Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine would be well served by this a knife like this.
Whatta Ya say Dan?

Didnt the original have an 8 to 9 inch blade? Yes, a tanto tip, and I believe the blade was 6 7/8" long. I will have to check mine.

Just remember guys, a REAL Tanto tip is not the abrupt angled transition to the tip we see. THAT is an Americanized tanto tip. The original tanto tips were more rounded as in a conventionally ground knife blade.
And yes Tom I believe you are correct on the Original being 6 7/8 inches long.
