Well, it looks like most who voted would prefer a sword first by over 2 to 1.
So what kind should it be? A DogFather with a 24" blade and a 12" handle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Bors Wouldn't a small chainsaw be lighter? NO.....I think this would come in at ~3lbs or so not bad at all. A big DogFather for big Trees CHOMP CHOMP oh yeah <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Bors

I hesitate to post this but how about a big kukri or falcatta?
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

OOOOOOO your bad A big Regimental ceremonial Kukri <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> You they have to chop the head off an OX in a single blow for good luck with one of those.

That would make it an outstanding BBQ knife. But I am just a kook for kukris!

By BBQ knife, do you mean something to cut the mesquite for the BBQ, cause if you need something that big for your steaks, I'll be there for supper!

I wonder if Dan has a facility to forge his steel? Seems like the machined stock removal process wouldn't work so well for making kukris without a large amount of waste. For my wish, I'd really like a two hand broadsword. Heavy is OK <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was thinking of a kukri for both wood chopping and butchering the roast beast. I love kukris. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/kook.jpg)

LOL! A Dog and his kukri - happiness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That is a great pic.
I have absolutely zero experience with a kukri. I'm going to have to get one the HI ones just to experience the power!

Kraz, I hear the HI kukris are outstanding. Some of my friends have them and love them. But wouldn't a Scrap Yard Kukri 12" to 14" blade with Res C kukri handle be cool? What would they call it? The Devil Dog?
