The Mountain Cur !

I'd like to see a wide bladed knife that could be used for a wide variety of tasks around a campsite.It would have a 5" long satin finished blade( satin because one use would be for food prep)with a handle around 4 1/2" long shaped very similar to the Ratmandu but with thicker Micarta slabs.
The blade would be a drop point design that is about 2" wide at it's widest point and similar in shape to a Nessmuk pattern.The steel would be 3/16" SR101 or INFI so it has great edge retention.
With it's wide, thin blade it would excel at slicing food stuff around camp but still plenty tough for chopping and shaping wood.
The edge would be convexed for slicing ability and toughness.There would be no choil with the blade merging flawlessly into the handle in a similar way to the SAR 5.
This knife would evoke images of grizzled mountain men of days gone by with their muzzle loaders over the shoulders and their knives hanging at their hips,the kind of men who lived in the mountains because it was their way of life and not a break from their 9 to 5 jobs!
I can see this knife stuck in a stump with flames from a camp fire reflecting off the shiny steel as people sip Bourbon and tell each other of their past outdoor adventures under a blanket of stars !

This knife will prove to all the naysayer's that the Busse/kin company doesn't just make sharpened prybars, that they also make real working blades for those that spend a lot of time actually out there using them for real outdoor tasks !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
