I want something new...

I think the Camp Tramp has a decently higher grind than the SOD which would make it in my opinion more suitable for an overall camp knife. To me though, .25" thick is too thick for a "do it all" camp knife regardless of the grind. I think the SOD was designed as a chopper and not an all around camp knife, and that significant modifications other than just changing the steel would need to be made to make it fit that role. I bought one because it looks like a little brute chopper that I can beat the hell out of, and I don't have a knife that fills that niche yet. Would I be in for a SR-101 SOD with a full flat, or a high sabre grind at .20 or so to use as a camp knife? Yeah, that's starting to sound pretty good to me, but you may not be able to call it a SOD anymore.

They did a DFLE with a full flat, when the original had a saber, so why not?

Heck, brother Jerry seems to have a TRADITION of offering the same knife in eight thousand different configurations with different thicknesses, so why not an "anorexic" DFCG made from SR101 with a full flat grind??? I'd buy that.

Poor dan....trying to keep up with us insatiable SY knife nuts! LMAO!

ok i want a mega chopper, 1/4" thick, Res C handles (smooth), SOD choil, recurve shaped blade, say about 20" long...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Alright, I'm in! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just some thoughts/suggestions on future Yard knives. I think that Dan would probably appreciate his customers' feedback and thoughts on what they would be buying in the future from "poor old Dan." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure though that he will pay little attention, and release a knife that after we get it we wonder how we ever did without. Can't wait for the next release, whatever it may be! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm not a huge fan of full flat grind. I like the extra meat on a saber grind for potential full convex grind purposes.

I know I've posted these pics a hundred times, but look at how beautiful these are! Not to mention their awesome cutting power.

I hear you. I prefer full convex for most 7+ inch knives, but I am also fine with a flat grind with just a convex edge. It is pretty easy to convex the edge of a knife and you can carry it up a little ways along the flat surface of the blade.
By the way those blades are gorgeous!

Change that to 5/16" thick, and an 18" cutting edge, and I'm in. Especially if the handle is weighted to improve the balance.

I sooo misssed the SOD.
I'd love a 7-8" (well probably an 8") at say .25-7/16" thick in SR101.
I'd like to see an asymetric grind offering (as an option if necessary) on the CG.
My housemate has an SHE with an asymmetric grind - I've never used one but the idea intrigues me - especially on a user.

But of all the Dawg's I'd like to see most?
A lap dog.
...well a maybe not a lap dog.
But a pocket dog.
Yup a folder.
The fabled Busse folder is ... - well who knows when we might see that?
The Rat Trap? Lovely, but it's been and gone and a whole lotta people missed out.
Dan you could do all of a us a huge service if you'd release a folder.

Since this turned into a want list.....I wonder if we'll see a Scrap Yard version of the Killa Zilla???
