I keep seeing the khukri threads and thinking about Dan's reason for not making it (steel waste), so I started thinking of other designs that would be more efficient.

I propose a langseax. The regulator handle and a big long blade (10"-15").




I like the combination of historical appeal and functionality this could have.

hmmmm...a competative thread...what to do...

move along people..nothing to see here!

I'd worry about tip breakage whacking something that pointy with that much weight behind it

LOL

I gotta keep my dream alive JJ!

No matter how many threads I have to drag down... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" />

Kidding WRX! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I hope you get your langseax <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'll give you a hand.

i am sorry to wrx. I couldn't help myself.

I hope the khuk is made! I wasn't trying to knock it out, just offering another idea for a fun blade that might be simpler to manufacture for Dan.

The Langseax being such and old design encompasses a large variety of designs. I trust Dan could design something with proper strength. The tip certainly doesn't need to be as long and thin as the examples I showed.

I like the idea too. We were just having fun.

I the tip of the Reg. is pretty pointy too, and I can't imagine it breaking against wood are even steel unless you are extremely mad at it.

JJ, the Regulator never had that needle sharp skinny of a point <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Whatever. Dan makes it, I'll buy it.

This thread changed the JarheadJournalist avitar, oh no....
