I have two ManDus coming.Fell in love instantly after they came up first in the Bladeshow threads.Lately was thinking if they would be even nicer if a tiny bit thicker.What's your take on that matter Jerrwhy?Would you say they are plenty tough enough as a suvival knive?

Personally, I think their thickness is just fine. Exactly what are you going to be doing with a 5 inch knife that you need a lot of thickness other than 3/16. I much prefer to spend my time outdoors than in. And I've never experienced a situation that required me using my knife to pry with other than in a war time scenario.
So far I've sone the following with my RatManDu: cutting, light chopping, batoning, affixing it as a spear, throwing it at a tree, general abusing etc....
My complaint with the Dumpster MUtt was that it was to thick in my opinion; so much so that it interfered with cutting. Other than that it's a fine blade. It will out chop and out pry the RatManDu. However, the RatManDu will cut better, have better edge retention, and it can be affixed to a spear more easily.
