something like the knives of alaska light hunter stretched to6-6.5",2.5"deep all the way back to 4.5"res c handle w/mudder texture.wide gut hook.getrdone.

back to wish #1,5-7" tanto re.Archangle's idea.

Whew, been a long time since I was last here (used to be member #181, but can't seem to access the old account), and I come back to more contest fun? I see that Scrap Yard is still the best in taking care of its customers. Is this contest still going on? If so, here's a coupla cents.

Now, let's see, what about a Scrap Yard baseball bat? Or rake? Maybe scissors?

Joking aside, my actual idea's still pretty goofy. <b>How about taking the Tank Buster and stretching it to be more curved, like a mini cutlass?</b>

Imagine if the Tank buster were made of Silly Putty: pull it upward by the swedge, so that the front half of the blade is wider from cutting edge to spine, the middle "u" of the top of the blade curves upward more, and the cutting edge is more curved like the Scrap Muk (or maybe like a Nike swoosh?).

Benefits: More weight distributed to front, sort of the bolo/khukri thing going on, for chopping benefits; curved belly for skinning or general finer slicing ergos; lots of power in a small package. Add on a Regulator-type handle and the choil becomes nice and deep for control.

Names: Something to do with a bulldog (a little fugly and fat in the front). Famous bulldogs: Yale's "Handsome Dan." Now there's a name for ya.

Oh, and happy Labor Day, everybody!

I GOT IT! Scrap Yard Chinese throwing stars! Just like the ones you wish you had when you were a kid.

Or some throwing knives, whatever....

But these ones are perfectly balanced to allow you to hit the center every time you throw them. That's what I want.

Keep adding the inches on the scrapper model: 7,8,9,10,11,12,12+, enough said.

The Camp Hound !!!!

This is one for the yard ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Imagine the old Swamprat Ratchet, now extend the flat on the back of the head another 3" further forward, now bring the edge sweep up till it meets it forming a point.This way you have a knife/hatchet hybrid that can chop small tinder for the campfire but can also be used to cut stuff in the same way as a knife.I'm thinking one of the new Regulator handles would be cool on this funky little camp tool as well !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

For steel lets go with 1/4" stock SR101. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

When does this finish and the ideas start getting read over ?????

I'd like to see a Cold steel kukri design, so ya know where I'm at, but in sr77 with a Res c grip and 3/16th thick with saber grind, the kukri has proven itself over the years and couple that with Dans abilitys and materials, I think we would have an affordable ultimate chopper that would reign suprememe

yea a nice kukri would be sweet , 10-12 inch .... kukri with a good res-c grip... the grips/blade angle to grips been tough on me with the few nepal made kukris i have had .... that and slippage... i havnt handled a cold steel kuk sence 8 years ago mind you..... the Claw-kri? or dog jaw? sorry im on a little roll with the names still havent found one to capture it...

Yep the kukri should be it!
