I'm okay with a thin blade as long as it's good and wide.

Yeah I think the width will help out a lot with the toughness.

I'd love a 5" skelly. I could add some scales and make a great bushcrafter. Still on track!

As far as serrations go having worked on a charter fishing boat in Alaska they defiantly have there place but I usually pass on them any more.

Here are some that come close to being perfect for my from my favorite droll site.

any of them would need a flat spot on the spine for a fero rod.

I've sent 2 knives to Nathan in the past and I have at least 3 more I plan to send to him. He does excellent work.

Sure, and I forgot about my dive-knife.
That one is double edged.
One plain edge and one serrated edge...

Comes in real handy when taking off the head of a fish.

And it would come in REAL handy if ever caught in a net under water.
That would apply as a survival situation...

You may be right since I do have a ten pound lifting restriction right now. That's the reason I've had so much free time to post lately.

Good night, Randy.
