An 8" Elmax blade with orange handle like the 460!!!

I tend to favor the darker colors, but that orange sure makes it hard to lose and there are a bunch of folks who love the brights

Wow...at that length and thinness you could actually slice the air....interesting

I think it's a good idea to have one knife that's hard to loose. In low light conditions it's not easy to find a knife from the ground even if you just left it there for a second.

Thin is good. Pry bars are sold separately.

Though I love my WarDog and I wouldn't describe it thin.

Lots of votes for this design.

That could replace just about every other knife in the kitchen! And a thicker blade, say 3/16", would be great around any camp!

Oh, that Kukri is also a GREAT idea! With a blade catch on the upper side and a hand guard on the lower side...

Agreed.

I loved the shape of the blade but really wished it was about .150" thick with a full convex grind. 5.5" blade would be perfect too!

Also, regarding orange and not being lost I'd just like to point out a couple things.....

First, you should never set a knife down in the field as its far too easy to lose even with bright colors. Always put it back in it's 'home' when you're done with it, even if you'll need it again soon.

Second, Fluorescent colors like orange and such will do you no good if your knife gets covered with debris such as leaves. I've been present when a bright yellow GPS unit was dropped on the way to the deer stand, we will never see that GPS again as Michigan woods are loaded with leaf litter.

Scrap Kuhkri!

But what grip style would do best in the circular swinging? I own a CS Kukri and their style works quite well for clearing brush and light chopping...
