Hook a brother up please!! _________________________ JYD #109 "I came here for the knives and stayed for the people." ----------------------- He IS Lt. Rich ya know so you just gotta listen to him Dan. 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?????? Oh and Dan, the Mini Taliwhacker needs to have a handle like the 511. I think that would be the most logical handle given that specific knife and the uses it will be put to. (But I'm just a lowly chairman so what do I know about stuff like that) It would work for a combat knife (although some would call it to short), a survival blade and also a pretty good CCW blade. BUT the concealed aspect of it would probably be better served with a Micarta or G10 handle so it wouldn't snag on your clothing. Then again the RES-C compound you use may not be all that "Grippy" on clothing. It would take some testing. Tell you what. Come up with a prototype, send it to me and I will carry it for a month and let you know how it fares. IF you could find some kind of Stainless, that would be great. But if you used your powder coating I think that would give enough rust protection even from sweat and blood to work. Oh and the Mossy coating would be especially nice, as it is thicker and is actually a much slicker finish. Just trying to help out ya know. An interesting idea What handle would you suggest Dan

I think that it would need a more common looking type handle to keep from looking like something the Martians would use. On second thought Res-C probably wouldn't be to "Grippy" on clothing after all. I mean it isn't to grippy on clothing on the Muppy or 511 or even the S5 or S6. OK, the handle could MAYBE be a little larger handle like on the 711 as I THINK it is just a tad larger than the 511's handle. BUT DAN, IF you prototype it I know you will pick the correct handle, not matter what kind it would be. A Little Paranoia Will Keep You Safe (ALPWKYS) Be a Sheepdog JYD#105

RN Junk Yard Dog Joined: May 2008 Posts: 4,103 CT	I wonder what a full sized regular handle (Trash sized) would feel like and perform like. Would it give a stronger and more secure grip? I would also wonder about the War Dog handle and what that would feel like. Of course, the Howling Rat res c handle is easy to go with and would reduce bulk and works fine with my hand. Thanks for chiming in Dan- me and Randy are excited about this one but I think it would be a real versatile blade! JYD #109 "I came here for the knives and stayed for the people."

Like I said, when Dan does the prototyping he can try out different handles and we know he will come up with the best. A Little Paranoia Will Keep You Safe (ALPWKYS) Be a Sheepdog JYD#105

I've had a couple of DF but don't have one now. Isn't the DF handle the same as the 711 and 911 handle? If yes, its my favorite for large knives. JYD #123 The great one formerly known as Architect.
