How about a 3/16" ever so slightly smaller SR101 basic handled SARsquatch... the 6squatch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
The blade design of the SARsquatch is perfect as is with the swedge for digging roots, including the choil if necessary, but the handle is where it could use help.
No choil would be nice especially since there is no talon hole requirement.
Here is my crude photoshop attempt of what I think would be sweet.
I used the 1311 to replace the choil on purpose. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
REMOVED BY ME TO COMPLY WITH RULE #10 Sorry, I am not used to this rule, but now I know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
These are the originals together.
Maybe bring the edge just a little lower than the handle for a wider blade like the SARsquatch has?
