I just read almost every post in this thread. You guys have some great ideas! With a forum like this, SY doesn't even need a R&D or design staff!

What I am hoping for is something cheap like a Dumpster Mutt for $69. LOL!

At first I thought the machete idea would be cool but the Ontario machetes are so darn good and they are like $25. It really is hard to beat them.

The Golok or Barong is a great idea. There are not many Goloks out there and it is a useful design for an outdoor knife. Got to keep the weight down if you want people to actually carry and use it however. Lets face it, when most of us go hiking, we take the lightest knife that will do the job. I have a cut down Ontario machete that I carry. It was a 18" but is now has about a 13" blade in a sheepsfoot design. It cuts and chops almost like the 18" but fits in my pack and can be used as a knife when needed.

What I really want is something between 5-7" blade without that nasty crinkle coat on the blade. Something full flat ground and not too thick or heavy.

i would like to see a utility hatchet of some sort would be nice.

I am ready for something on the giant side.

I think they have shipped all the LE S5 by now...which means we are that much closer from finding out what our next offer will be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I am hoping for a small necker, or a sword. Well not realy so much for the sword. I would get more use from the necker. Howerver, the sword would be super cool. The regulator may be cool too, but I already have that niche filled. Oh well, I cant have enough bowies.

Never enough bowies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A Scrap Yard version of the Killa Zilla.

a SYKCo sword would be sweet...something like the ruck in sr101 or 77....
zombie chopping awesomeness.

seeing as itd be a chopper i wonder if the toughness of SR77 might actually be better for it?


....what say you?

I would like to see the SS4 in 154cm!!..or the Dumpster Mutt with color options <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Come on Dan! it's been long enough. You know you want my $$ NOW <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

How about an SR-77 Crash Axe? Maybe with S5-type blade and handle options and then a LE satin with black handle? Ax head, pick on the other side and a pry bar handle.
