I liked the War Dog, but I found it to be a bit too thick for my uses. It's almost a 1/4" thick! For some reason I always forget how thick it is. 3/16" thick(or less) SR101 would be pretty nice. I'm just really digging that blade shape. When you put a shaving edge on it, it seems much thinner

IŽd also go with SkunkHunters idea of a bushcraft knife - flat grind bushcraft blade on orange mudders

Throw an orange handle on a SYKCO Kukri and watch the Website crash with orders....
Because no matter the colors, it would be a MUST own (likely more than one) item!

I like the idea of a BDLE style blade but a bit thinner, SR101, mudder handles. I think this would be a great fishing blade.

All great ideas DT! But no muk? Not with orange mudders...that just doesn't do it for me right now. Unless maybe it's thin and shiny--I have a CG.

War Dog or 411 would be great. Orange handles on a 711 or Muk would be fine too. Or maybe all of the above?

The Wardog HACK (Busse Combat) is the same SPINE thickness, but it has a VERY DEEP hollow grind. almost like a razor. Weighs almost nothing to carry and you would never realize how thick it is unless you needed the "Beef".

Lots of good ideas coming out here but I'm finding it hard to make a decision. I missed out on the 'Muk so that might be nice. Oh, and I think DT's idea of orange on big black blades would look really cool. But the the 411's my favourite SYKCo, so I want one with orange Res C. Ah now the Regulator is the knife that I keep Googling pictures of 'cos I need one so bad! Then again, a Scrapyard bushcraft knife with orange handles would be awesome... How about an Orange Range to follow the 11s: all the Scrapyard Knives with orange handles?

A typical "Bushcrafter" Blade, mudders of course. That style of blade is good for SO many things. Make it 4.0 inches from tip to grip and no choil, sharp all the way to the plunge line. This!
