RES-C Mudder Grip with small bottom safety tang (just big enough to index your finger but small enough to “straddle” if you want to choke the blade).

DEVIL DOG... (the general purpose knife that can “do it all” from combat to survival to camping / trail blazing)

7” Modifed Drop (think NMSFNO shape) SUPER HIGH SABER with dropped metal tang (talon hole without a hole)
.25” SR101
V Grind
RES-C 711 Type Handle

DOG CHAIN (aptly named because it would replace my chain saw)

10” FBM profile SUPER HIGH SABER
.277” SR101
V Grind
RES-C Fusion Handle

All knives would have the following features:

A) the spine would be max thickness for the max distance from handle to tip for axial strength.

B) all spines would have “eased” (radius) edges EXCEPT for a 1.25” section of 90 degree edge on ONE SIDE near the handle for fire steel striking.

C) SMOOTH coating (not the rough or textured type).

D) two factory grind options:

D1) standard Busse obtuse grind for abuse
D2) fine grind for slicing work ... this can include a warranty clause indicating chipped or rolled edges wouldn’t be covered.




Some serious thought given to this subject...cool
