1. Start out with the Reg 6.5 blade. As much as I like the Bulldog, I think the spine, where it starts to dip AND the tip wouldn't be conducive to batoning. The 6.5 blade being more of a straight or GRADUAL down curve would work much better. 2. Decrease the .333 thickness to a quarter inch with the Busse heat treat I feel this would be more than sufficient and would also have enough weight to be a so so chopper, remember this will be your ONLY DO EVERYTHING knife. (it COULD be increased to no more than .275 inch thick). Hmmm this is beginning to sound like another knife of Dan's. We'll just have to wait and see once it arrives.  , 3. Get rid of the Regulator handle. Not sure if the Dogfather style handle would work, but maybe if it were about halfway between the regular DF handle thickness and the Regulators, but maybe the Dogfather size would work. Again, we'll just have to wait and see. 4. Steel, well if it were your ONLY knife, rust wouldn't be a problem so the steel type wouldn't really matter. Sr77 would work as it is a TOUGH steel that you could abuse till your arms fell off plus it sharpens easier than SR101. INFI might well be the best though because it IS virtually maintenance free and sharpens up even easier than SR77. 5. I'll let Y'all know next week what I think my conclusion of what the perfect knife for LIFETIME Survival would be.

Randy,
That's similar to these famous last words...
"Hold my beer and watch this......"

Sorry I went MIA, but had to the Grandpa thing. Had to fix the youngster his bottle. Grandpa's touched.

OK, NOW it's time to feed the rest of us. Gotta beat the lunch crowd at Subways. But in the words of the famous Adultanator, "I'll Be Back"
