It may give those with superior Photo-shoping or drawing skills an advantage. And they may wish to see the teams take a description and bring it to reality without seeing it first. Those are my guesses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't have photoshop or drawing skills myself, but those who have such skills should have an advantage, IMO. But as I said, it isn't my game. Just expressing an opinion.

A mid-large size camp knife, say 6"-7" blade, uncoated and polished or DC, not too thick, say about 3/16" or even a little less, with a smooth (ala S6) Res-C handle but with a wide exposed tang at the heel for pounding. Imagine the entire heel of the knife as steel but between the heal and the ricasso is the smooth Res-C handle, no exposed tang except for the butt. Make as optional: choil, penetrator tip, fully serrated spine, smooth (NM) or right-angle spine-to-blade transition.
I would order one W/O choil, W/penetrator, serrated spine, right-angle and probably one with just the opposite.

SCRAP YARD:
Grip/Tang – Regulator with Full Tang, with Exposed Triangular Skull Crusher Pommel
Blade Shape – Combination of Scrap Yard Regulator and Blackjack Halo Attack with Swedge like the Halo Attack. Sharpen at least the first inch of the Swedge. Put integral blade catches like the Yard Hook on TOP AND BOTTOM against the front of the Regulator Grip which extend to the top/bottom of or slightly above/below the Res-C Guard.
Deep CONVEX EDGE(s).
Blade Length: Make it in 5.5”, 7.5” AND 9.5” lengths.
Blade Thickness: .1875” to .235” to keep weight below 14oz. Lighter is better IMO.
Other ideas: Find a way to put something similar to a Talon Hole at the guard(s). Let Eric, David, and Jeff each obtain a copy before putting the knives on the order page so they can have a head start on the Kydex. Save the rest of the INFI pile for this knife.

...NO DRAWINGS or PhotoShop Pics!!!! . . . They will be deleted!!!!. . . Written descriptions only!!!!! ... I really don't understand the reasoning behind this, but it's not my game. I would much prefer to have pictures or drawings than just a written description. That was my thoughts exactly Vic, it's very hard to actually describe the design that's in your head !

One other note on my machete spec: it would be very, very cool if the blade was convexed by SYKCO!

Not sure if we can post more than once...but if we can I have some more ideas. A larger version of the Scrap Muk - maybe called the Mongrel Muk or something. Could use SR-77, 101 or Infi. Make it big enough to make it a good chopper but no so big that you render it useless for other important tasks. Keep it on the thinner side...5/32 to 3/16. And Mudder handles in different colors. Offer satin LE and non-LE coated in colors as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> A SY version of the Vex using diff HT'd SR-101. Mudders. Offer a coated and a non-coated LE version. This has been a hot knife and a SY version would be awesome I think. A cross between a Vex and a MPLE but with the different steel and offered in coated and uncoated. Did someone say a folder already? Infi blade, SR-101 Frame/handles - Frame lock - 4 inches closed - approx. 3.5" blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That's all for now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I can't wait to see what they decide on. There is no limit on the number of ideas you can post Dan

A small bushcraft knife, with 4" blade, 1/8" thick, scandi grind, similar blade shape as Swedish Mora, with mudder grip and made with 154 CM steel.

Specs at a glance: Steel: Diff. Tempered SR-101 Edge Hardness: 58 - 60 Rc Handle: Resiprene C Blade Thickness: .32" Blade Length: 11 1/2" Overall Length: 17" - Longer / wider "Uncle MOFO" style blade with a convex edge for chopping - Regulator style handle - CG & LE styles of course Cost effective knife: - The Reg. Handle molds already exist - Easy pattern - Covers the requests of several of the Dogs in here like the shape has a bit of a Khukri look and action to it, the fat handle of the Regulator for a good grip when chopping with sweaty or wet hands, diff. tempered as that is turning out to be more in demand at this point, sturdy thickness to give it strength and plenty of forward weight for heavy chopping and zombie head removal as well as not being so curved that it it would be a pain to find a sheath for it. All good points when taking the design to the budget-minded consumer. I'll take mine in the LE version Dan. Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Always useful...
Small woodland hatchet with a 3 inch face, 14 inch curved handle with wide butt and lanyard hole. Res-C smooth grip covering 3/4 of the handle. See Gransfors Wildlife Hatchet profile.
Folding/pocket saw about 7-8 inches closed. See Gerber Gator.
