I'd really like to pick up one of these knives:
ASH-1 (.32)
Dumpster Mutt CG
Regulator
DeReg
Rat Mastiff
Scrapper 6
Muk The ASH did nothing for me, that is what I traded my Chopweiler for and it was a mistake. Regulator and Deregulator don't get much love at the moment but I think that is because there are so many out there. You can get a good deal on them still. The Regulator is a beast to say the least. Never had a Rat Mastiff or held one Scrapper 6 is a solid blade for the size. Look at a SOD as they are easier to find and lower in price. MUK--love the design. I love the Scrap MUK and hopefully will love the Busse MUK.

It's a beautiful spring day out there! Maybe once this wears off I can go for a short walk with the family. That is great. Supposed be 92 here today and I can't quit sneezing.

Oh yeah! I forgot to put my Rodent Solution on the list. I've got a tan and sage one. Had Steelnut make a bunch of sheaths and he ended up getting the color wrong on that one (one in ten--I'm not gonna complain). I'd wanted Coyote and got black. I think I must need to buy one or two more RSes to match the sheath I've got.

The RS is an almost perfect little hunting blade. Think I might get a couple more to give to the boys when they get a bit older.

I might also go for a SOD or DF, B11, SFNO, or something along those lines. I really did not care for the SFNO--have had two. one ended up traded here in the states for some hard to get Yard blades, and the other was sold to a fellow in Australia.

Can't let go of the choppy. It's such a SWEET blade. I've had a few I've let go too...generally have regretted it. Had a Scrapper 5 and a desert DM that I wish never left. Still torn on the Mini Uncle Mojo I let go. On the one hand, it was a FANTASTIC blade that felt GREAT in the hand. On the other hand, I'm not sure about how easy those convex blades are to deal with. I love convex, eventually will get a belt sander and go all that way. I like the ease of maintenance a convex, and they are generally stronger than a V grind.

If funds weren't an issue, I would have loved to get a sword from the Swamp--I am a fan of micarta. But close to 4 bills--nah, I'd rather get an XD. The waki would only get used for fun. If it was closer to $200, I think I could have pulled the trigger.

Amen on the convex. I wonder what a belt sander set up would run?

The Tank Buster just looks s'dang cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That and its name. I'm a sucker for marketing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> To me, the Tank Buster, Taz Rat, and Hell Razor all have that feel and look. Now, my custom shop HRLM will make you pee your pants on it's cool. I will try to get a pick today when I go out.
